Can Famotidine worsen acid reflux symptoms? (Famotidine)
I'm 17 year old girl. I have been diagnosed with hashimoto's disease and take levothyroxine. Recently I got diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and I was told to take drosperinone birth control. However for the past few days I've been having really terrible heartburn and headaches and I can't lay down to sleep. My doctor said to it's a side effect of the birth control. I want to stop taking it because of the heartburn I've been getting. The doctor gave me famotidine 20 mg tablets to lower my stomach acid. From what I know, the acid reflux i have could also be from too little acid production. So will this Famotidine medication hurt me more? Is it safe to stop taking drosperinone and treat the cyst without involving hormones into my body?
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Talk to your gynecologist before discontinuing Fluoridine 20 mg tablet. It is a histamine-blocker used to treat stomach acid problems and can be taken as directed on prescription without any harm. But uncontrolled discontinuation of drosperinone birth control medication may result in cyst complications.

I have a query regarding HPV tests and vaccination
Female | Jayna Bhalla
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus and many people get affected by it and yet the symptoms often go unnoticed. It is passed most frequently by the close contact of skin with the infected area. Although some strains produce warts or tumors as a result of an unchecked infection, the vaccination is a valuable means of protection from many conditions of such kind related to HPV. Regular check-ups are the cornerstone of infection prevention. If you have any worries about your health or vaccination, I suggest you see a gynecologist.

Female | 24
You might have pelvic organ prolapse, specifically cervix descent. This happens when pelvic muscles weaken. Symptoms: feeling pressure in the vagina, bulge, trouble inserting menstrual cups. See a gynecologist to diagnose it properly. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises or surgery.

hello my age is 27 Female. my periods are delayed and I have gain weight in last few months. and this is the first time that I didn't get my periods on time. is it normal as there is no chance of conceiving.
Female | 27
You might miss a period due to weight gain, as your body could be out of balance. Stress, changing routines, or an unhealthy diet could also be reasons. It's important to track your periods and inform a gynecologist if the issue persists. They might suggest lifestyle changes or other tests.

Hello doctor, I have pcos since 2 years and my periods was irregular so I am taking Ayurveda medication and now since 3 months it is regular however the periods are getting prolonged for few days. It's been almost a month since i am bleeding and my doctor has prescribed Styplon Himalayan tablets which i took twice a day fot a week but it didn't work then I checked with another Gynaec and she advised to take Pause 500mg twice a day and I am taking it since 2 days but still i am bleeding and sometimes i get blood clots as well. Please recommend how can I stop my periods instantly as these medicines aren't working or shall i take Pause 500mg for few more days. Please help. And is it something serious or normal in PCOS. Please help.
Female | 30
Your periods involve heavy bleeding, which can feel difficult. With PCOS, hormone issues cause unpredictable periods and heavy flows. The Pause 500mg pills you're aiming to stop the bleeding, but may need some days. In PCOS, heavy periods sometimes happen, yet if bleeding persists extensively or severe pain arises, consult your gynecologist.

My mom aged 63 years has a painful swelling or kind of a bone like feeling above pelvis. Few weeks back she had loose motions, stomach ace and sometimes vomiting. Doctors treated her for acidity and she was fine later. What could be the issue for the painful lump? She is diabetic and her current pre range is 160
Female | 63
The painful swelling or bone-like feeling above the pelvis could be an abscess, hernia, cyst, or a tumor. Kindly get it checked with a gynecologist.
Given that she has a history of loose motions, stomach ache, and vomiting, its possible that the swelling is related to a previous gastrointestinal infection or inflammation.
Moreover her diabetes and current high blood sugar levels may also be contributing to her symptoms and complicating her condition.

Female | 21
If you're considering using medication to delay your menstrual period, talk to a gynecologist first. They can guide you on using hormonal birth control pills.. Starting active pills a few days before your expected period and continuing as directed can help delay your period. Always follow medical advice for your safety.

My period used to be irregular but since I started diet exercise I got my period again after 10 days of my period. What is the reason for this?
Female | 30
It seems that your menstrual cycle is altering. Physical activities and dietary changes can affect hormone levels and result on a regular menstruation. Abrupt lifestyle shifts can provoke early periods at times. Continue tracking startup if it persists while scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist for further concerns.

I am a 26 year old female. I discovered fibroadenomas in my breast when I was 18. I have 8-9 lesions in each breast, not big ones. I get them checked every year. Is this something I need to be worried about?
Female | 26
It is good that you check your breast lumps every year. Fibroadenomas are growths in the breast that are not cancer. You may feel a lump or see changes in breast shape. These lumps happen when gland and tissue cells grow too much. Most times, no treatment is needed if the lump does not grow or hurt. Keep seeing your doctor each year, and you will be okay.

About 2 months ago I have a c section delivery. From that my periods came after 15 days or this time I have a period or bleeding is not stopping at my 7 day or it is now 9 day of my period
Female | 24
Irregular periods after giving birth are the most common complications of childbirth. Often, the hormones that our body gives us can provoke the bleeding to last longer than normal. Make sure to drink sufficient water, eat healthy, and sleep enough. If the problem continues, talk to your gynecologist for advice.

It's has been 20 days since my pilonidal sinus surgery and now my period have started,how do I maintain hygiene?
Female | 18
Ensure that you gently clean the surgery area with mild soap and water, carefully dry it, and avoid using any harsh chemicals. Additionally, loose cotton underwear, which does not trap moisture, can potentially prevent the infection. If you experience any unexpected discomfort, such as more pain redness, swelling, or discharge you should immediately consult a gynecologist to get proper advice.

Hello ! My friend’s girlfriend age is 24 completed … they had unprotected sex yesterday …but thing is penetration was only half till penus… as soon as the boy recognized he removed it and jerked outside his pants …can the girl take the ipill now ? pls guide ?
Female | 24
If your friend's girlfriend wants to protect herself against pregnancy, she can use this pill, which is the morning-after pill. This pill can help in blocking pregnancy if it is taken within a specified time slot after unprotected sex. Remember that emergency contraception is not birth control to be used regularly; it's only for emergencies. In case of any symptoms or concerns, she should consult a gynecologist for proper advice.

I am a 22 year old female and I had a medical abortion which I really regret. I took the first oral pill but vomited very few minutes later. I continued with inserting the rest 48 hours later and I bled. My breasts are still sore and I’m still feeling tired. Could my baby be still alive? Which I’m really hoping for. And when can I do a scan to check if the abortion failed?
Female | 22
It is important to get a scan to confirm the status of your pregnancy. While vomiting shortly after taking the first pill might reduce its effectiveness, the subsequent bleeding could indicate that the abortion process has begun. To know for sure, visit a gynecologist as soon as possible for an ultrasound. They will provide the most accurate information and appropriate guidance.

Actually my periods won't stop and last 5days just finished my periods and then suddenly my periods came out and this time not too much flow but it's looks like white discharge but colour is lighten red so basically my question is is that normal
Female | 22
It seems you’re experiencing some changes in your periods, which can be challenging. If you notice a light reddish discharge after your period ends, it could be due to hormonal imbalances you're going through. This might cause spotting or light bleeding that looks white or pinkish. It’s usually not a serious issue, but if you’re concerned or it continues, it might be a good idea to talk to a gynecologist.

I am 20F & used to get my period between the 17th and 20th of each month. I had unprotected sex on April 25th and took an emergency contraceptive pill the next day. My last sexual encounter was on April 29th (with protection), and I took another emergency pill that same day for extra safety. After that, my period started on 3rd of May (though I had my last period finished on 23rd April). From then my periods became regular, occurring from the 1st to the 5th of each month. However, today September 20th, and I still have not gotten my period. Could I be pregnant, or is this delay normal?
Female | 20
Sometimes, taking emergency contraceptive pills can mess up your period for a while. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances can also make your period late. If you are worried, you can take a pregnancy test. If it's positive, talk to a gynecologist about your options. Remember, irregular periods happen to many people, so try not to stress too much.

Doctor..... Today morning urination that same thing happened.....after 2 hours little bit of brown discharge during bathing.... without any cramping and stomach pain.I am so much feared doctor.....more than 22 hours the bleeding is not heavy flow but I am not confirmed it's period or implantation bleeding please clarify doctor
Female | 29
Brown discharge can happen for different reasons. It may refer to the old blood that is released or a symptom of implantation. Implantation bleeding is the phenomenon when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining. Should the bleeding not increase and you are not experiencing any pain, it is nothing serious. If you have any doubts, it is always good to contact a gynecologist to be safe.

I missed my periods yesterday and took beta HCG blood test today. I turned -ve. Is there any hope for pregnancy few days after?.... Please confirm
Female | 25
Missing a period does not confirm pregnancy, there may be other factors involved; Beta HCG is reliable for early detection of pregnancy; A negative beta test indicates the fact that you are not yet pregnant during testing. Re-test if your period still disappears after seven days or so and seek out professional medical assistance

Diabetic. Experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Bleeding not sure if periods. Pregnancy tests are negative
Female | 24
These symptoms may potentially signify other underlying conditions, such as pregnancy or bleeding, but none of the tests showed a positive pregnancy. Going to a gynecologist or obstetrician who specializes in high-risk pregnancies for a comprehensive assessment and plan of management is of the essence.
