Could antibiotics impact fibroids and irregular periods?

Good evening, dear doctors, I am writing to you because I am anxious and worried. I am 49 years old and have had very large fibroids for years that have never given me any problems, apart from swelling and the occasional early or very late period. This summer I had a gynecological visit with ultrasound because it had been about three years since I had a check-up due to anxiety problems that prevent me from going for visits and other fears. The visit went well in the sense that it was the same as three years ago but every doctor almost always suggested that I evaluate the option of removing it to eliminate the problem. This summer my period was a bit irregular, it came a little early, then spotting, then it ended as usual. In October I only had spotting for two weeks and that was it, in November spotting and then a very heavy period that ended a few days ago, still with very light spotting. In the grip of anxiety, I went to the gynecological clinic in my city, and he did a manual examination without an ultrasound, telling me that they are fibroids and to go to another gynecologist to evaluate what to do, I went to a gynecologist the other day and he did an ultrasound and an examination, apart from the fibroids that I already knew about, he told me that the endometrium is vascularized and a little irregular and measures 8mm. He told me that I need to look into it further. A few months ago it always measured 8 mm, but he didn't tell me anything. (He didn't talk to me about hormone levels or premenopause or anything else. I want to do hormone levels to see everything in general) I took a lot of antibiotics months ago for dental problems and I don't know if it could interfere with my cycle. I'm really desperate also because I have a lot of anxiety problems and this doesn't help... I hope it's nothing to worry about.. I'll try to look into it further. Thank you so much. Jenny Italy

It is very common to feel anxious about our menstrual cycles and fibroids changing. Unnaturalities in menstrual blood flow may be due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or certain medications. An additional diagnostic step may be the determination of the blood vasculature in the endometrium. A sample hormone level testing will help your doctor to get the big picture and arrive at a diagnosis. Of course, honesty and open communication with your gynecologist is the key to a better treatment process.

Burning sensation in urine in vagina since 3 months

Female | 23

Experiencing a burning sensation in the urine and vagina for three months could be due to urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, or other medical conditions. See a doctor promptly for a proper evaluation and appropriate treatment. Avoid delaying as untreated conditions may lead to complications.

i am 21 years old female. i have been getting my periods since December, its February right now, its on and off, for 2 weeks in January i got heavy periods and since then i have been getting spotting on the pads. i met with a gyn and she gave me a medicine called norethindrone acetate, and gave me dosage accordingly, and diagnosed me with PCOD. i haven't been taking the medicine cause I'm not sure if i should. i am also afraid if it has anything to do with pregnancy, i have taken UPTs thrice and they were all negative and my last intercourse was in November. however i have extreme lower back pain and i experience tiredness. i just want answers to whether it is pregnancy given the lower back pain and the spotting for so long? if its not that then can i take the medicine prescribed and it wont be an issue and i wont have any extreme side effects.

Female | 21

Based on your symptoms, it is improbable that you are pregnant because you have taken three negative UPTs and your last intercourse was in November. Your period time may be different because of PCOD. That's why your gynecologist diagnosed you with PCOD. As long as you take the drug recommended by your gynecologist, norethindrone acetate, according to the dose and monitoring for adverse effects, it is ok. But, if the backaches and tiredness continue, then consult your gynecologist again

I had unprotected sex on 7th February and had ipill later. Afterwards I got my period on 19th February. I had protected sex on 26th February and again on 11 March. I am 2 days late

Female | 22

Being slightly late­ for your period isn't abnormal, especially during stre­ssful times or bodily adjustments. The unprote­cted sexual encounte­r on February 7th, followed by taking eme­rgency contraception, could impact your cycle. That might e­xplain your delayed period. Re­member, stress, die­t modifications, and illness can also affect menstruation. If you're­ still worried, a home pregnancy te­st can offer clarity.

29 year old female, who is struggling to get pregnant. I had the Same implant for 8 years, I have genital warts. I have a lump that's painful before my periods on each side of my pelvic wall. I have irregular periods, acne and intercourse is painful, I have a dry vagina.

Female | 29

Based on your symptoms, it may be a sign of hormonal imbalances and potential disruptions due to the implantation use for a long period. In parallel, the condylomas may also affect your fertility. An alternative explanation of the origins of the lumps and pains before your periods is likely endometriosis. They must be thoroughly reviewed to lift hormones, remove genital warts, and treat the underlying causes of the pain episodes and irregular menstruation.

Female | 24

Emergency pills often cause bleeding or spotting.. Take a pregnancy test after three weeks.. Emergency PILLS sometimes fail to prevent pregnancy.. Check for pregnancy symptoms regularly.. Emergency pills ARE not recommended for frequent use.... Consult a doctor for personalized advice.

Hey, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2 days ago before my period which has began today. Is there any chance that I may still get pregnant in my new cycle which began today? I usually have a 30 day cycle but can be sometimes shorter or longer = or minus 2 days

Female | 23

Most people­ worry when unprotected se­x happens. Your period starting lowers pre­gnancy chances this cycle. But sperm can live­ for days inside, so a small risk still exists. Take e­mergency contraception if conce­rned. Use condoms or birth control to preve­nt pregnancy.

for a whole week straight, my labia has been itchy. i have also been having white sticky discharge and sometimes it could be a faint yellow. there is no odor and no pain, just itchiness. today, i felt a bump like feeling on my labia and i’m guessing it’s a cyst.

Female | 17

Itching and discharge could me­an a yeast infection. A common issue, causing irksome­ itchiness, thick yellowish gunk, and sometime­s bump too. Ove­r-the-counter antifungal creams can provide­ relief. Kee­ping clean and dry down there also he­lps. Drink lots of water, and wear breathable­ cotton undies.
