Can I take painkillers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen?) for period cramps, if I'm on fluoxetine?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Generally ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used for period cramps. However, if you're taking fluoxetine, an antidepressant, it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using pain relievers to ensure there are no potential interactions or risks. They can provide personalized guidance based on your situation.

You have been having discomfort in your right side for the last half-year. Pain in the right area might be due to muscle overstrain, digestion problems, or malfunctioning organs. You should see a gynecologist to find out the real reason for it and get proper treatment, as dealing with pain is quite important.

I am 19 years old. My pregnancy test got fade test line and I'm not sure if it's positive or not. I tested after 10-15 days of intercourse. If this is positive, I want to quit this pregnancy as soon as possible. Please help me find a way for it.
Female | 19
If you see a faint line on a pregnancy test, it could mean you are pregnant. Some signs of pregnancy are gone periods, sick feelings, and sensitive breasts. Pregnancy occurs when a man's sperm fertilizes a woman's egg. If you want to stop the pregnancy, you can talk to a doctor about options like a procedure or medication. Consult with a gynecologist to evaluate the most suitable alternative for you.

Is this pregnancy report is positive? Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone < 5.00 mIU/ml
Female | 28
When the beta hCG level is under 5.00 mIU/ml, it means no pregnancy is detected. If you think pregnancy's possible, you can retest later.

Female | 34
Dani nikalne ke baad, pehli baar sex ke dauraan khoon aana kuch samanya ho sakta hai, jaise ki yoni ke aas-paas ke tissue ki khinchav ya choton se. Lekin, yadi aapko zyada khoon ya dard mehsoos ho raha hai, toh yeh zaroori hai ke aap kisi doctor se milen. Aap doctor se milkar yeh jaan sakte hain ke yeh symptoms kis wajah se ho rahe hain.

My period is delayed my last period was on 15 feb before that i have taken an contraceptive pill and on 10 April i did pregnancy test which was negative still my period did not come what to do now
Female | 22
A pregnancy test you took in April can help clarify things. Various factors, including contraceptive pills, stress, weight fluctuations, and hormone imbalances, may disrupt your cycle. If the test is negative, there's no need to panic. Simply wait a while or consult a gynecologist if concerns persist.

I AM 15 Weeks pregnant and my TSH Harmone is 3.75 is it normal or I have required medicine
Female | 30
When you are 15 weeks pregnant, the TSH level at 3.75 is a minimally higher value than the ideal range for pregnancy, but it remains on the safer side. So if you are not at the stage of subclinical disease, this parameter indicates that your thyroid is not far from the ideal range for pregnancy.

I've had my menus pause 3-4 years ago. Yesterday suddenly I'm bleeding and having my periods again and even my ankles have swollen . What is the cause eof such happening suddenly
Female | 47
It's understandable to feel concerned about these sudden changes. Bleeding after several years can be caused by various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying medical conditions. Swelling in your ankles may indicate fluid retention, which could be linked to your symptoms. I recommend consulting a gynecologist promptly to discuss these changes, as they will offer you personalized advice and appropriate tests. They can help determine the underlying cause and suggest suitable treatments.

My friend had Intercourse on 26th January but wasn't sure about taking pill and got her periods on 28th January. But now it's February more than 10 days she didn't got her periods so is there any chance of pregnancy!!!
Female | 22
I would suggest your friend does a pregnancy test to find out whether she is actually a pregnant or not. Beyond pregnancy, periods get delayed because of many reasons like stress, hormonal abnormalities, or other physical problems. For further confirmation vist to a gynecologist is recommended

My wife tuck pireod delay tablet. But we don't know she was pregnant
Female | 34
If your wife took a period delay tablet but didn’t realize she was pregnant, look for symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. It can be dangerous to postpone menstruation while being expecting as it may affect the fetus. To ensure the safety of both the mother and the child, it is recommended to refrain from using the pills and consult with a gynecologist.

Female | 18
Often, blood presence after partner ejaculation inside signifies potential vaginal irritation. Causes might include infection, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances. Although concerning, consulting a gynecologist enables identifying the root issue. They'll provide suitable treatment.

I am suspecting that i might be pregnant and i have missed my period and i have cramps.i didn't use a pregnancy test
Female | 18
It's common to wonder if you're pregnant when you miss a period and have cramps. These are often the first signs of pregnancy. Uterine cramps can happen as the uterus changes due to pregnancy. However, other factors like stress or health issues can also cause missed periods and cramps. To be sure and get the right care, it's best to see a gynecologist for a pregnancy test.

I had sex withn 5 days of jadelle insertion will i fall pregnant
Female | 29
Jaadelle insertion typically offers immediate pregnancy protection after the procedure, but it is best to wait seven days before relying solely on it for contraception. Engaging in intercourse within five days may raise concerns, but the risk of pregnancy is minimal if the device was inserted correctly. Common signs of potential pregnancy include missed periods or unusual bleeding. If you have any doubts, feel free to take a pregnancy test or consult your gynecologist for personalized advice.

Female | 18
Your period missing 2 months, that's concerning. Stress, weight shifts, hormone issues, or medical conditions could cause this. Visiting a gynecologist is smart; they'll help pinpoint the reason. Maybe prescribe meds or advise lifestyle tweaks to normalize your cycle. When menstrual changes happen, get expert guidance wise. They'll examine, troubleshoot, and recommend solutions suited just for you.

I am a 22 year old female. I had sex with a condom on 11th of July which is two days after my ovulation date. After the sex, I took an emergency pill (eazy pill) just to be certain. On the 18th I started bleeding and it stopped on the morning of 20th. I'm expected to get my period today the 23rd but all I'm feeling is weird abdominal cramping and the constant need to poop. What could this indicate?
Female | 22
It is normal to feel down at some point, especially after taking the emergency pill. The bleeding and cramping you're experiencing can be side effects of the pill, caused by hormonal imbalance. The strange abdominal pain and the frequent need to use the bathroom may also be due to these hormonal changes. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well. If you continue to feel unwell, it is advisable to discuss your condition with a gynecologist.

Changes in the duration of your menstrual period can be affected by medications, hormonal imbalances, and medical conditions. Consult a gynecologist to evaluate your specific situation and determine the cause of your shorter duration of periods.

I was having very irregular flow in my periods at the beginn But suddenly my flow increased and its heavy.
Female | 25
If you are experiencing excessive blood loss or other related symptoms, it can be that you are also having fibroids or hormonal imbalances. You may start by following these steps: eating well, managing stress, and timing your cycles. Nevertheless, it is necessary to speak to a gynecologist for a thorough check and accurate recommendations. They would be able to diagnose your health problem and mention treatment opportunities. Don't give up, you're not alone; sharing your feelings and asking for assistance will help you to become a better person.
