Will levonorgestrel work with epilepsy medications?
Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under epilepsy medication
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 24th Dec '24
Levonorgestrel is generally effective, even if someone is taking medication for epilepsy. However, you need to be aware that some anticonvulsants can influence hormones and, as a result, make contraceptives less effective. Warning signs include unexpected bleeding or changes in the menstrual cycle. The best way to ensure that you are fully protected is to discuss your situation with a neurologist too. They may propose other methods or additional protection that matches your special requirements.

I am 20 years old male suffering from memory loss
Male | 20
Memory loss in a 20-year-old man is infrequent. Suppose you're experiencing memory loss or having trouble remembering things, it may cause a weight decrease and not eating well. It’s critical to keep yourself well-rested by sleeping well, eating a healthy diet, and using relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. If the trouble remains, it is better to seek advice from a neurologist for better options.

My father is 77 years old, he has shivering problem, his hands and legs shook severely, now he has no control on toilet.
Male | 77
Sounds like your dad might have something called Parkinson’s. This makes hands and legs shake a lot and causes problems controlling when you have to pee. What happens is certain cells in his brain stop working right. A neurologist can give him drugs or teach him exercises to help with these things.

My mother has migraine headache... She has taken vasograin tablet but there is no improvement which tablet we should give to her now ?
Female | 40
Your mom suffers from migraines – intense headaches causing throbbing pain and nausea. Vasograin didn't provide relief. Paracetamol is another medication that reduces discomfort. Rest in a dimly lit, quiet space can also help. If symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for advanced treatment options.

Female | 18
Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential. They can figure out the reason and offer the right treatment to help your memory improvement.

I am located in Tanzania. I have ruptured my Achilles tendon. I know I need to have surgery. My concern is I have no feeling in the bottom of my foot, the doctors here want to do the tendon surgery and are saying the damaged nerves may repair themselves. I don't know if that is true or if I should have a neurosurgeon do the surgery.
Female | 51
The nerves that are damaged could heal by themselves with time but it is advisable to seek guidance from a specialist on how best to handle this situation. If you don't want to go ahead with surgery, have a second opinion from a neurosurgeon and based on that take the decision right for you.

Female | 31
You might have an orthostatic headache. Standing up can cause brain fluid shifts, possibly leading to low blood pressure or dehydration. Make sure to stay hydrated, move slowly, and rest often. If the headache continues, see a neurologist.

The medicines you mentioned are used often after bypass surgery. Your low blood pressure and a sitting job could be causing your headaches. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Take breaks from sitting. Tell your doctor about what's happening. Your doctor can help manage things better if you keep them updated.
