question:Hi, I will be 38 this year. Last year I had the T loop inserted. Before my mensors was normal. I started with the 28th day and finish within 6 days maximum. After loop, on the 28th and 29th day, I will have brownish discharge then after that I will have little bit of bleeding then stop for a day then bleed heavy for 2 days and the rest of the days discharge (brown) and it takes me about 10 days to get clear. Afterwards I will have white discharge daily. I do have back pain at times. It is normal after loop insertion.
answer:Hi,Thanks for the query.With intrauterine loop insertion, some amount menstrual irregularity can be seen.And also pelvic infection is some what common after loop insertion.So you once consult gynecologist and get examined to rule out any possibility of pelvic infection and take treatment accordingly.Then the intermittent spotting can subside soon, if your doctor suggets you can go for additional dose hormonal pills for few days.For more details you can ask me through: care.

answer:Hello,thanks for using health care magicIpill is a progesterone based medication and it is effective iin preventing pregnancy when taken within the recommended time period of less than 72 hours following intercourse.Ipill being a progesterone, has the potential of altering menstrual flow both by volume and duration. However, this is just temporally and gets regularized after a couple of cycles.Occasional in take of Ipill has no effect on fertility. However, persistent in take for years could suppress ovulation that would take a long time say up to six months and even above one year before coming back. With absence of ovulation, you will definitely be unable to get a pregnancy.Unprotected intercourse is a risk factor for sexually transmissible infections such as HIV, herpes, , hepatitis B virus and HPV which is associated with cervical cancer.Hope this helps you.Best regardsDr Achuo
question:Hi, I need some advice regarding the morning after pill. I have already taken one last Saturday after having unprotected sex. I have then had unprotected sex again last night. Can I taken the morning after pill again? I haven't had a proper cycle yet as recently had a planned child. So I don't know if the first morning after pill has work yet. please can you advice me. Thanks
answer:Hi there ~I understand your concern. After having taken the morning after pill, it usually is the case that if you are in the period of ovulation, your chances of becoming pregnant go down to as low as nothing. However there is a slight chance with every contraceptive method that you might become pregnant, however small it might be. I hope this helps.Take care and have a lovely day!
question:Hi! I have gained weight on my abdominal area due depo provera injections , Its been 6 months since I've discontinued and also tried had through all means such walking dieting yoga etc but it is not reducing also since I was on it I would not get my periods ,Till date I have't got them . I had My last depo provera shot in september last year 2012
answer:Hi.Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.The return of menstruation after a progesterone injection like Depo Provera is usually delayed. The cycles take many months to normalize and sometimes there may be complete suppression of periods.The increase of weight in the abdominal area is due to bulky uterus. Normally during period, the endometrial cells of uterus proliferate (multiply) resulting in thickening of endometrium (inner lining of uterus) due to the action of estrogen. When menstruation starts this endometrium is shed out as clots and the uterus reverts back to the normal size.Since you have not got the periods, the thickened endometrium has resulted in bulky uterus. Also the hormonal imbalance due to absent period has added to your problem of weight gain. An ultrasound of uterus will reveal the size of uterus and the the endometrial thickening. Since endometrial proliferation can be either simple or can result in problems like cancer, you should visit a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and to rule out problems like cancer.I hope this is useful.
question:Hi I have been taking Yaz however I have not changed to lavlin . I'm not sure where to start my last Yaz pill was Friday and I would normally start again on Wednesday (4 day sugar pill). Should I be starting lavlin on Wednesday or take the sugar pills Wednesday Thurs and Friday as per there packet (7 day sugar pill) and start on Saturday
answer:Hi.Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.Yaz contains 28 (24+4) pills with 24 active and 4 sugar pills and Levlin has 28 (21+7) 21 active and 7 non hormonal pills. Since you are already on Yaz and the sugar pills get over on tuesday, you should start the active pills of Levlin from wednesday.The small beige coloured pills in Levlin pack are the hormonal pills and the large white coloured pills are the non hormonal pills. You should start with the small hormonal pill on wednesday. Once the 21 hormonal pills get over, the non hormonal white pills can be taken and during this time you will get your menstrual cycle. Levlin is a low dose hormonal pill. In case you have doubt about the identification of the hormonal pills in the pack, you should seek the help of your treating Dr, otherwise, if you start with the wrong pill, there may be a contraceptive failure.I hope this is useful.
