Question

Answer

If you are on any medication for the infection, you have to inform your doctor that you are trying to conceive , so appropriate antibiotics can be given which are safe.


Question

I am almost 7weeks pregnant, and i started seeing some blood in my viginal when i go to the toilet sometimes i feel little pain by my rightside stomach, the blood comes and go for the past 4days now. is it bad?

Answer

Bleeding in pregnancy could be a sign of a threatened or missed abortion or an ectopic pregnancy( pregnancy in the tube) Have an ultrasound done to check that your fetus is fine. All the best !


Question

I am 5 week along and I had 2 days of spotting on my 4th week and 1 day this week. Can you please advise if this is normal? My doctor will not see me until my 10th week. She said it might not be anything, but I am worried.

Answer

I think you should have an ultrasound done to ensure that the pregnancy is in the uterus and the heart beat is fine . This can be determined even at 6 weeks. Let me know the result, so I can advice you further.


Question

I have a serious lower abdominal pains in relation to the fibroid that I have. What will I take to stop the pains, I ,m so worried about it. It is giving me sleepless night. please assist.

Answer

Is the pain only during periods? If yes, then you can take cataflam tablets twice a day for 3 days. What is the size of the fibroid? .Do you also have a urinary infection ? This could also give severe abdominal pain.


Question

Hi, I am 19 yrs old. I've got pcod. I suffered from irregular periods for the past 4 years. I went to a gynac last month. I did a ultrasound on pelvic region. I have hyperprolactinemia and inceased level of testoterone and decreased level of follicle stimulating and leutinising hormone. The main problem behind me is I have increased hair groeth like the male pattern in my abdomen, chest, breast, and my pubic region it is really irritating for me to look at it
pls sugges me a remedy to get rid of the hair.

Answer

PCO is present in 10-15 % of women and is associated with irregular periods and a high testosterone level . The high testosterone results in an increase in hair growth. The best thing for you to do is electrolysis. Certain hormones do reduce the hair growth , but this is a temporary effect and the hormones may increase your weight. You have mentioned that you have a low FSH and LH. Usually, in PCO the LH is more than double the value of FSH. Were they tested on day 2 or 3 of the cycle? Let me know the result, so I can advice you accordingly. Regarding your high prolactin level, you will need medication for it like dostinex ,dopergin or parlodel. Let me know the result of that, too, so I an advice you further.


Question

I have been prescribed letroz for infertility treatment. I have pcod Endometriosis. I have undergone laproscopy.

Answer

You have not mentioned whether you have irregular periods and are not ovulating. Also, are your tubes patent , do you have adhesions around the tubes and what is the extent of your endometriosis? Let me know your laparoscopy report in detail and whether your ovulation has been monitored on ultrasound and the findings of that.


Question

I lately have a vaginal ordor and it becomes stronger after sex. I don't think it's a yeast infection because there's no discharge and no itch. What can it be?

Answer

The semen itself has a strong odour, so that may explain the odour after intercourse. Regarding the odour otherwise, have a vaginal smear done. This will determine whether you have any vaginal infection and the type of infection . Appropriate treatment can then be given. You can wash your vulva with a seba- med feminine wash or sofarelle lotion.


Question

I
just found out that I was pregent and I have HPV AND dyplasia can I still have this baby and will I have any problem during delveiy

Answer

You should not have any problems during the pregnancy or delivery. Very rarely, babies exposed to HPV during birth may develop warts in the throat. Despite these risks, a woman with genital warts does not need to have a cesarean-section delivery unless warts are blocking the birth canal. However, certain treatments for warts may not be possible during pregnancy.


Question

I have a very thick white discharge that has an oder , but no rashes or itching. what could it be?

Answer

A thick white discharge is usually due to a fungal infection. Use canesten vaginal pessaries for 6 nights and you should be fine. If not, let me know, so I can advice you further.


Question

Hi, DOC: We are happily married for last 3 yrs. but not conceived yet. I am 28 yrs and my husband is 33yrs old. In 28th Nov.2004 I have irregular bleeding. It stops after 10 days by medicine. This was first time that i had such a long periods. I have 28 days cycle and the bleeding have stop after3-4 days. In next month (27th Dec. 2004) the brownish discharge started and painful cramps also. After 4-5 days i have done pregnancy test which was a very faint line positive but my fresh bleeding is also started. I went to my doc. and she had done pregnancy test that have a same results. She taken as a pregnancy. She gave me professi 5000 in weekly, dubagest100 mg and sysfol 5mg. After 1 week the ultrasound scan done and not found any pregnancy.

After this my periods are normal and regular. I have no other problem but i am not able to c!
onceive yet. Please help me.

 Answer

You must have been pregnant in Dec. 2004 , but the fetus did not grow. Please let me know the result of your ultrasound- whether you have PCO (Polycystic ovaries) or a fibroid. Also, are you ovulating now? This can be determined by a clear plan test or an ultrasound around day 13 of the cycle. What is your husband's semen result? Also, which city you are staying in , so I can advice you regarding further treatment during your next pregnancy.


Question

My wife is having irregular periods of almost 7 to 10 days after the previous periods.For past two months she took pills for delaying the periods for obvious reasons.After her recent period,few days later she had a reddish discharge for a day-2 to 3 times.Then it stopped.Does it warrant amedical examination.What could be the possible reasons.Because of the very irregular periods,she has bee unable to conceive for the past 8 months. We had consulted a gynec almost 6months back for the irregular period.Conducted pap smear test.No specific problem noted.Except she had some vaginal infection-yeast infection.treatment was taken for both of us.Also does this infection come due to sexual contact alone or are there different reasons.Kindly advise .We are confused a bit

Answer

Regarding the irregular periods, does she have PCO (Polycstic ovaries ) or an ovarian cyst? Also, is she ovulating? This can be determined by a clear plan test or on ultrasound. If she is not ovulating, she can take clomid tablets to help her conceive. This, however, should be taken where ultrasound monitoring is possible. Also, what is your semen result? Let me know, so I can advice you further.


Question

3) I am thin (weigh 41kg, height 154cm) , what can I eat to gain my health and also to support a pregnancy?
pls do help as i need some guidance.
thanks a lot

Answer

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. The incidence is a little higher in women with PCOS . Have your hormones- FSH & LH been tested on day 2 or 3 of the period? Let me know the result of that. Are you ovulating with the dose of clomid given ? This can be determined by ultrasound. If you are not, the dose of clomid can be increased, provided you are monitoring the ovulation on ultrasound. Once you have ovulated, you can use duphaston tablets or cyclogest vaginal suppositories from day 20 of the cycle to reduce your chances of miscarriage. Eat a well balanced diet with lots of proteins and fruit and vegetables. Your weight should not be a problem as far as conceiving or supporting the pregnancy. If you wish to put on weight , you can use gevral or sustagen protein powder.Let me know the result of your ultrasound and I can advice you further.

WAITING FOR REPLY

Answer

Relax! Getting bugged will not solve your problem! Regarding your brown discharge- is your erosion still present? If yes, you can have cryosurgery done on the cervix and that should reduce your spotting. Is criptal "bromocrptine "? Irregular periods, increase in facial hair and anovulation are common with PCOS . As long as you are ovulating, it is fine and you will conceive. Let me know the result of your scan - when your follicle is 20 mm (with 100 mg of fertyl)and I will advice you further. Also, what is your husband's semen result?

Question

Hello Madam, My Q. is: I'm overdue my period but getting brown discharge. But when I did home pregnancy test, it came -ve. Please, advice me what to do

Answer

If you have not yet had any further flow, consider the brown discharge as your period. Sometimes, the periods can be scanty. If the problem recurs, have an ultrasound done to rule out an ovarian cyst which can give rise to scanty periods. If that is fine, have your thyroid and prolactin hormones checked and let me know the results.


Question

Hello. I am 30 yrs old. I have an 8 yr old daughter. I've been trying to conceive for nearly 3 yrs - 2 with assistance. 3 yrs ago with pregnancey... I had placenta previa... had an emergency C-section... lost over 60 percent of my blood. At 29 weeks... the baby did not make it. Since then, I've had 1 miscarriage, called it a demise. My husbands sperm is high. I've had 2 laparoscopies (sp?). My tubes aren't blocked, everything looks good. We've done 3 cycles of IUI insemination. I am currently waiting for results. During the procedure the dr. said she had irritated my cervix. I did do folistim and Hcg shot (to release my eggs). I had one small cyst (they said nothing to worry about). My eggs were at 18, my question is... why have I been experiencing side aches and a white creamy discharge? I am suppose to know the results next Monday. Is this a sign of cysts leakage or pregnancy?

Answer

A creamy discharge is usually due to a fungal vaginal discharge and can be treated with canesten vaginal pessaries for 6 nights. Regarding your miscarriage- at how many weeks was that? I usually give Hcg when the follicle is 20 mm. How many follicles are you producing per cycle? The chances of conception increase when there are more follicles. This can be done by increasing the dose of folistin. However, your gynec. would have to determine this depending on your response as seen on ultrasound. Let me know, so I can advice you further.


Question

I'm an 18 year old female and I have small bumps around on the dark circle around my nipple and several whiter ones directly on the nipple. I've had these for as long as I can remember and was just wondering if this was something that is normal for a developing teen

Answer

These changes are normal. However, if you feel a lump or there is discharge from the nipple, contact your doctor.


Question

I have a PCOS problem and I am taking clomid, metamorfin tablet and siphene as prescribe by my doctor. I am not getting regular periods could u pls. tell me the exact dosage and timings of the tablets .I want to conceive.

Answer

You said you are taking clomid and siphene. Both are the same drug , so are you taking both or one of them ? Are you ovulating with that? This can be determined by ultrasound.Let me know what dose you are taking and what the size of the follicles is on day 12 and day 15 of the cycle and I can advice you further.


Question

Hello there, I have a very slight itching in the vaginal area. It is barely noticable but obviously I dont want to ignore it. I visited a clinic with my partner at the beggining of the year and we were bot clear of infection. Please advise. I have had thrush before but this is not the same, my hunch would be something to do with perhaps the washing powder of soap that I use. Thanks,

Answer

You can change the washing powder. In the meantime, use travocort cream externally - twice a day for 5 days. If your skin is dry, that can also predispose to itching. Use oilatum or atoderm soap and seba- med baby oil after a bath. if the problem persists, see your doctor.


Question

Four days before my mentruation I have sex with my husband. However until now I don't have mentruation? I am five days delayed and I check with pregnancy test but test is still negative. Please help..

Answer

If you have not had a period, check your urine for pregnancy around 15 days after the last intercourse. You can get pregnant even 4 days before the period if you have had a delayed ovulation. A pregnancy test is positive 15 days after conception (or ovulation).


Question

Hi, I'm a 34 yr old woman, and I've had PMS for over a yr now. I have almost every symptom of PMS. My doctor said that my lining of my uterus is thick. They could burn the lining and I won't have any more periods. My question is if I do decide to have the surgery, will the surgery actually help my mood swings and I will no longer have food cravings as I do before my period? My biggest complaint with PMS is I'm very tired, bloated, depressed, no energy, crave for every food in the book, and don't have any desire to do anything. I'm just wondering would I actually feel better if I did have the surgery? thank you. Stacy

Answer

How thick is the lining of your uterus? Was the ultrasound done just after a period? If not, repeat it and let me know the result. Burning the lining will stop you from having your periods, but the mood swings will continue. The mood swings are due to the hormonal changes associated with ovulation . Unfortunately, there is no treatment for PMS. You have to learn to cope with it. You can try taking VItamins or buspar tablets, which have helped in some cases. Meditation and yoga have also been known to help sometimes if you are stressed. For your bloatedness, you can take disflatyl tablets. Relax !


Question

Answer

If you still have not got a period, repeat the pregnant test and let me know , so I can advice you further. If you have got a period, do a clear plan test to determine whether you are ovulating or not and what will be the most fertile period.


Question

I RECENTLY STOPPED USING BIRTH CONTROL AND I GOT MY PERIOD FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER THIS I HAD UNPROTECTED SEX CAN I BE PREGNANT?

Answer

You have not mentioned on what day of the cycle you had the unprotected intercourse. Was it 4 days from the first day of the period or did you get a period for 4 days? ( This is not clear from your question ) Let me know, so I can advice you further.


Question

I have 2 problems that's effecting my marriage sexually. After 2 kids, my virgina became loose and dosen't provide gratification for my husband. Also, it releases odor internally when he gives me oral pleasure - thus, he doesn't enjoy it much. I like to know what I can do to correct these problems so we can enjoy each other more. I do kegel excercise a lot and keep my private area clean, but nothing seems to help. I feel helpless. What can I do and who can I see to helop me and us with this? My OBGYN gave me metro gel, but it's not helping.

Answer

Have a vaginal smear done. This will determine what type of infection you have and you can get appropriate treatment. Regarding your vaginal muscles, if you have been doing Kegel's excercises, and they are still loose, you may need surgery. However, check with your gynec . whether surgery is required. Slight laxity is common and both you and your husband should accept it. If it is severe, surgery may help. However, you should remember that sometimes, after surgery, the muscles get too tight and there is extreme narrowing of the vagina making intercourse difficult and extremely painful.

Answer

First of all - relax! Check whether you are ovulating or not by doing the clear plan test. This will determine your most fertile period and having intercourse during that time will help( not everyday of the month ). Also , have your husband's semen examination done and let me know the result of that and the clear plan , so I can advice you further.


Question

Hi am 23, and I've been on the contraceptive pill since I was 17 .Will it cause me any fertility problems in the future??

Answer

Which pill are you using? Do you smoke? Is your blood pressure and blood sugar normal? Do let me know, so I can advice you further. Usually, I advice my patients to stop the pill for one month after using it for 11 months.


Question

Hello, I am 30 and my husband is 28. I had cryosurgery at 16 for mild dysplasia and have had 2 abnormal paps since that were normal when retested. I also have been on birht control pills since 16 and stopped them in may'05. we are currently trying to get pregnant without success. My periods are regular and I have used ovulation perdictor kits that show that I ovulate. My questions are, 1. would the past cryosurgery damage my cervix and keep me from getting pregnant? or 2. Is my body still trying to regulate after birth control pills?

Answer

What is your husband's semen examination result? Have you done a PCT ( post-coital test ) This will determine whether the sperms stay alive in the cervix or not. Usually, the cryosurgery would not prevent a pregnancy. Since you are ovulating, there is no effect of the pills you had taken. Let me know the results, so I can advice you further. All the best !


Question

I am 10 weeks pregnant. due to heavy omitting and heart burn doctor gave me moxal suspension to take after meals(3 times or more a day). Is this medicine is harmful or okay?

Answer

Sorry to hear about your falling hcg. Yes, if it has fallen , it indicates that the fetus is not growing well. Let me know the results of your previous miscarriages- was the heart beat absent from the beginning? How many weeks were you pregnant when you had the miscarriages? Are your blood sugar, thyroid hormones and toxoplasmosis I gM tests normal? Let me know, so I an advice you what may help in the next pregnancy.


Question

I am 46 years old. In the past whenever I had yeast infection, I was given an antibiotic Dufilcan (or something along that spelling). However, this cannot be purchased over the counter and even the doctors are no longer prescribing it. Could you explain why this is so?
During the past 8 months or so, I had recurring yeast infection. The inserts the doctors prescribed are not every effective and I had been getting recurring yeast infection for the past 2 months or so. They would go away and then come back again - especially when I take sour stuff like lemons or lime, etc.
Is yeast connected to diet and would frequently recurring yeast infection lead to something more serious/life threatening condition? Also, what can I do to prevent yeast.
Instead of using the inserts, I am using a special wash Pot Permanganate Sol 0.1% and Zaricort cream (prescribed by my last doctor) to clean myself at bathtime each time I had yeast. In addition, I also take honey and evening primrose hoping to cure myself. By the way are they effective to get rid yeast infection?

Answer

Diflucan is still given by many doctors. However, it is not given over the counter as one has to ensure that the woman does not take it in case she has a chance of being pregnant. So, the doctor prescribing it would counsel the patient and advise it accordingly. Check whether sporanox capsules are available. These would work like the diflucan. This , also, needs a prescription. Did your partner also use the diflucan? In case of recurrent infection, the partner should also be treated , to prevent transmission of infection to each other. Are you swimming? This can also increase your re- infection. Frequent use of antibiotics can also cause the infection. I am not sure how helpful honey and primrose oil is. Use betadine vaginal douche and the oral tablets, and you should be fine. If not, let me know.


Question

I'am having lower right back pain. It comes and goes. But it is a sharp burning pain and goes into my hip and buttocks. I was told that my pelvic is tilted forward causing this pain. Due to being pregnant with twins then triplets. I've been to a Chiropractor 10 times and no releif. What can I do to get rid of the pain or who should I see for help?

Answer

Take calcium tablets for 2-3 months. In the meantime see an orthopedician and check that you do not have any other problem giving this pain. In the meantime, you can also use cataflam tablets- one tablet twice a day for 5 days to relieve the pain.


Question

I have been having this discharge for sometimes now it is yellow in colour n has some smells like egg or so, I want to know if am ok because am scared.

Answer

Use betadine vaginal pessaries. ( Check with the pharmacist that you are not allergic to its contents ) . If you have not improved, have a vaginal smear done . This will determine what type of infection you have and what is the appropriate treatment.
