1 Answer

Answered on 3rd June '24

It is not advisable to take emergency contraceptive pills frequently within a month such as iPill. When taken many times, these pills can lead to hormonal imbalances in the body. Symptoms of this may be irregular menstrual cycles, nausea and headaches. Regular birth control methods should be used to avoid having to use emergency contraception. If one frequently requires for this kind of contraception, it would be wise to consult with a gynecologist on better birth control.

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?

Female | 36

The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

Hi, good day Last month I visited my aunt, used the toilet at her place, the toilet was awful Two days later I started feeling this light itch in my vagina, labia majora It continued the itch became worse and I even noticed a discharge I went to the pharmacy and bought fluconazole After taking the dose the discharge stopped and the itching reduced a great deal But then I exhausted the tablet I think I took it for five days I felt the infection was gone though I still had a bit of an itch... Afterwards my period came and during the course of my period I experienced no itch but after I was done with my period the itch returned, though not as it was before I started taking fluconazole, just that I get the itch from time to time I've not had sexual intercourse before (penis in vagina).

Female | 18

You might have yourself a yeast infection. Yeast infections can result in itching and unusual discharge. These occur when there is an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the vagina. This can be caused by taking certain drugs or being in a wet place such as using a dirty toilet. Buy some anti-fungal creams or tablets from your local pharmacy. Another thing you could do is wear cotton underwear more often because they’re breathable fabric and practice good hygiene so that this doesn’t happen again.

Does ovarian cyst cause fertility problems

Female | 19

Ovarian cysts are rarely the cause of infertility in women. They are like small fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries and usually disappear on their own without causing symptoms. However, a large cyst can sometimes cause belly pain, irregular periods, or pain during sex. In rare cases, large cysts might affect fertility, but this is uncommon. If a cyst causes significant discomfort, a doctor may suggest medication or surgery. Importantly, having an ovarian cyst doesn’t usually mean it will be difficult to get pregnant.

I had protected intercourse 15 day ago and after that on 1st December I had unprotected intercourse but after 1hr I had contraceptive i-pill. My date was 7th November and today is 3rd November and I have symptoms of periods but fever from yesterday. And I am having something very tiny discharge of white color I guess because can't even see it clearly. What is that. And when will my periods come. I'm I pregnant??

Female | 21

FEVER may not be related to PREGNANCY.. Tiny discharge is NORMAL.. I-Pill is EFFECTIVE within 72 hours of intercourse.. CONTRACEPTIVES can sometimes alter MENSTRUAL CYCLES.. Symptoms may indicate PERIODS coming soon.. If no periods in a week, take a PREGNANCY TEST..

Is it possible to have heavy bleeding after ecp?

Female | 23

Yes it is possible to experience heavy bleeding after taking emergency contraception pills. ECPs contain high doses of hormones, such as levonorgestrel, which can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body and affect the menstrual cycle. These are common side effects of the tablet.
