@kolaism
This is a gyn thread but I don't think that particular remedy will work

@tng
The time for regular menses to start differs. It is especially complicated if you are breastfeeding.

@rukyus
There are changes to the vaginal ph at different times in the menstrual cycle. It should not affect her ability to get pregnant

@ankeade
Sorry to hear of your loss. It depends on the size of the fibroid. Do you know how large it is and where it is located?

@jumman
Wait and see. If you are really concerned, you can send him for a semen analysis while you go for a gyn evaluation

@evangelin
It is absolutely safe

@ skimpy joy
How did your docs determine that you have pid?

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should just wait it out then?

Dear Doc,


Please am at the verge of loosing my mind, i am 27yrs and i hv been masturbating for the past 13yrs. All i do is just to touch my sentivies parts and i get wet.

the problem at hand is this am into a relationship, and each time my BF touches me i don't get wet but when i do it myself i get wet. And please if i should have unprotected sex will i get pregnant. Pls help me

Doctor You are so welcome, Please i have this problem, i am a nursing mother and whenever my baby is like 8 to 9 months on breast milk i start losing weight at that time, please what do i do?

Dear Doc Kay,


Please kindly help me out, for the past two three days ago i told much of mineral and at the 4th day i notice that each time i urirate towards the end part of it i feel this pain of wating to urnirate again and i urinate frequently. Pls kindly advise on what to do or what the problem is

@9hmo
Sounds like everything is normal. She should continue to take her vitamins. As for penetration, some women are very sensitive during pregnancy so you will have to be attuned to what she is feeling

@tng
yes. hang in there

@susanamand
It shouldn't affect your ability to get pregnant.  I would suggest you discuss your feelings with your partner. I also think you might have a urinary tract infection. The touching might have something to do with it. I would suggest you go see your doctor

@aniody
Breastfeeding uses a lot of calories, 500 a day.  Just try to increase your food intake

Hello Doctor,

In the process of making love i feel some pains below my abdomen, that is when thrusting, plz i don't know what could be the problem

@ ufobabe, pls from all u've said one can safely say that
your friend has an advanced case of syphilis. I can't be too sure but
i think she should test for the presence of the syphilis bacteria cos if these symptoms have persisted for
ten yrs as u claim and if it turns out to be syphilis,then ur friend may be facing seriouse health danger including
insanity,cervical cancer and multiple organ failure.
Pls all the best to ur friend.

Dr Kathy,
Good day , long time
i asked a question almost 2yrs ago on page 2 of the thread about hormonal imbalance leading to irregular period and uterine bleeding that wont stop unless i use Primolut , your advise was to loose some weight which worked miracle after 6wks of 5kg less.

Due to work and school am unable to continue with the regular exercise thereby been on and off regular periods,
my question now is

1.      am about to get married , do i tell my fiance about my hormonal profile issue or i should just go ahead and sort    it out with a gyn on my own.

2.     Apart from the CLOMID stuffs, what other stuffs like vitamins does one need to take cos i really want to start a family first quarter of 2010. have waited so long for this.

Thanks, await your response.

Hello Doctor,

Plz have just started feeling this pains,

In the process of making love i feel some pains below my abdomen, during thrusting thouhg not hard as that should be the coz of pains, plz i don't know what could be the problem

Plz kindly help

doctor, please what effect does pregnancy pills have after using it for a long time. what are the side effects and is it true that it makes the user bigger during usage

dear sir/ madam

i had had some itching and discharge from my vagina and i was diagnosed with staph aureus. i was given a cocktail of antibiotics. the discharge stopped but resumed some months later. i also had a kind of swelling that looked like heat rash which fulcin cured now the discharge is thick ,clumpy and white and has a foul odour and there is some worm like movement on my body which itches and moves when i rub topical antibiotics on it please advise me on what to do cos ive been battling this thing for years.Also is there anywhere i can go for treatment in rivers state as i live there and Lagos will be too far for me to travel to for treatment. thank you

@ammamat
Are you fully aroused when having sexe?
@lady jay
Your prolactin level is borderline and this can affect ovulation but is easily treated. Sometimes, it is related to medication or a tumor. Your doctor will go into more details with you. As for the progesterone, what day of your cycle did you get the bloodwork?

@dhotseal
there is no correlation between cervical cancer, multiorgan failure and syphillis. You are misinformed and should refrain from giving advice with such a poor fund of knowledge

@acl
Congrats on the wedding but you also know the answer already. It isn't something you have to discuss, it is something you have to act on. No excuses

@lolladey
What are pregnancy pills?

@Whitechick
Staph, once again, is normally a contaminant rather than an infection. I don't know any doctors in rivers or lagos. Ask your friends and stay away from anybody who claims to be treating you for staph in a vaginal culture

Are you fully aroused when having sexe?

No,, and some times i do it for the sake of pleasing him coz i don't have that felling at all , i can stay for 2 years without having that feeling

Hello Doctor,
It has been long that I have contributed neither asked question(s) on nairaland(health section).
It's all because am really depressed.

Concerning your question that how big is the fibroid, let me quote what the sonologist gave me.

"The Uterus is enlared measuring 14.8 x 8.34 x 10.2cm with a single fibroid measuring 8.08 x 5.82 x 8.47cm. The fibroid intramurally in the posterior aspect of the uterus extending into the endometral cavity. the , are free. There is no fluid collection in the posterior cal-de-sac.
Large single intranura.submucosal fibroid."

I am having a severe pain.

Now to my question.
Sir, I just got married three months and four days ago. What is your advise if I were to be your blood sister because people even including Nurses have been advising me to go locally (using of concotions) rather going for the operation.
They said if one should undergo the operation, that it is difficult for the woman to become pregnant again.


PLEASE, I NEED A QUICK REPLY TO THIS.

@emeje
One can't tell the viability of spermatozoa just by looking at the semen. If you are concerned, talk to him about a semen analysis

@moduperola
Was your progesterone level checked?  If no, ask for a progesterone level. Please let me know.


Doc Katthy,
this is moduperola. remember me?
I lost the baby once again- scan said Blighted ovum. Now i am really scared of getting pregnant again. Pls what and what do you advise to do to forstall this kind of occurence 'cos i am sure i did all i should.

I await your response. Thanks and regards.

i am shedding tears as i write this. it's almost 2 yrs of marriage and no child yet, if u could remember a lady that requested ur help in helping her calculate her ovulation which u did and got pregnant last year october. on the 21st of february, i noticed a terible back pain and went to the clinic, anyway it was my fault that i went to a quack for antenatal. i lost the pregnancy after 3 day of admission with them, the membrane ruptured and the baby was still too young to survive coupled with the fact that they took me to 3 different hospital thinking that there could be a help to make the baby survive but all to no avail until we got to the 4th clinic where they ahd to induce me. i never got pregnant again until july when i realised that i missed my period which later showed up but was just some spotting which was dark in colour and then it stopped again, i did a pregancy test which was positive even as i was still spotting, i was asked to go for a scan when the scan revealed that there was a sac in the uterus area but no fetall pole was found at 5wks 3day, i was asked to come back in 2wks after but unfortunately ,the spotting continued to a heavy bleeding and when i did another pregnancy test, it was negative and the doctor said it has aborted naturally that i did not need to do a D&C.finally i noticed a very thick tissue come out and and was the end of the bleeding.

after that, i went for another scan and eveything was cleared, no remains was left,
i went ahead to drink chelsea london dry gin thinking it will clear every other thing left. after that a friend said i should follow her to an Ijaw woman that can clean the womb and set the womb well to be able to carry a healthy pregnancy. i did follow her and the woman asked me to bring ROBB, ALIGATOR PEPPER and COTTON WOOL which she grinded together and used the wool to insert it into me. this was a week after the second miscarriage, since the 1st period after the miscarriage was not my normal period cos, it was delayed and i thought i was pregnant and then later after 3 days after, it started flowing and then getting heavier and it lasted for about 9days which was very abnormal coz my nor mal period last 4 days and its a regular 28days cycle but after everything i did, it has changed to about 32 to 33 days cycle and the will last for about 8 to 9 days now. now the way i do my period is, see it for 1 min on day 1 of 33 days cycle, it will stop for the rest of that day. it will come for abot 20 mins and stop again, then return the 3rd day and stay up to 7 or more days with a heavy flow. PLEASE DO U THINK THIS IS NORMAL? I CAN'T EVEN CALCULATE MY OVULATION TIME ANYMORE, EACH TIME I THINK I AM OVULATING, I BLEED IN BETWEEN FOR SOME MINUTES. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF PREGNANCY TEST THING IT MIGHT BE PREGNACY BUT ALL NEGATIVE. I FEEL NAUSEOUS AND VOMIT THAT BITTER YELLOW SUBSTANCE BUT DOCTOR SAID IT MIGHT BE MALARIA. I AM FED UP, PLEASE HELP ME.

I AM SO DESPERATE THAT I FEEL LIKE SEEING U AND TELLING U MY MIND ONE ON ONE. NOW THE SPOTTING IS A USUAL THING THAT HAPPENS TO ME ANYTIME. I HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH CLOMID WHICH DID NOT WORK, THEN TRIED THE PREGNYL INJECTION AFTER A FOLLICULAR SCAN AND STILL DID NOT WORK, NOW I HAVE USED CLOMID AGAIN FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER BUT I AN YET TO KNOW IF IT WILL WORK OR NOT COZ THE LAST PERIOD WAS ON THE 6TH BUT THE FIRST SPOTTING WAS ON THE 4TH, SHOULD I TAKE THE 4TH FOR THE FIRST DAY OF MY PERIOD I AM STILL WAITING, PLEASE WHAT CAN BE THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE? WHAT CAN U DO TO HELP ME PLEASE, I BEG U IN THE NAME OF GOD. PLEASE HELP ME

@ammamat
The reason for the pain is likely due to your lack of arousal so your partner is hitting your cervix which is the opening to the womb. This causes pain. As for your lack of desire, do you have regular periods?

@ankeade
Sorry to hear this. The problem with this fibroid is the fact that it is affecting the cavity. Here are your choices, myomectomy surgery to remove the fibroid, using a drug like depo lupron to try to shrink it ( drawback would mean you wouldn't be able to get pregnant for at least a year and it may not work) or going ahead, getting pregnant and seeing what happens. the fibroid shouldn't prevent you from getting pregnant but you would probably have a higher risk of preterm labor or the fibroid breaking down and causing pain.

@moduperola
So sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent this. Miscarriages occur in 25% of all known pregnancies but blighted ovum is in a different category. Hang in there friend and let me know how it goes

@olabola
I am saddened but angry. You seem to have the resources to know better. You call your doctors quacks but go to someone who sticks robb and alligator pepper in your vagina to clean out the womb? Now that is out of the way, how far along were you with the first pregnancy? How old are you? Have you ever had any D&C or procedures on your cervix?

Merry xmas Doc Katty.

Doc Kathy,
Thanks for your prompt and friendly response.  And a very Merry Xmas to you and may the new year fill you with more wisdom.
Pls, reference to your mail above, what do you think may have been the cause of this blighted ovum and how can i prevent it in future occurences. And then, what  drugs or food would you recommend for me bearing in mind the low progesterone level too. Thanks once again.

Hello Doctor,
Thanks for the advice. Am very grateful sir.
Please, I don't really understand the "drawback".

Concerning the drug that you prescribed, can I get it in Nigeria?
Am also facing a big problem. (BLEEDING).

As I told you earlier that I bleeded for almost 7days early this month and to my greatest suprise, my husband and I had sex on the 26th and after that I started bleeding again.
Really, I want to assume that it's my period but the bleeding is very heavy. Please doctor K, what can you say to that and wat can you prescribe for me.

So many people even matrons have been advising me not to undergo an operation and I also, I don't want to because my marriage is just 3months and two weeks old. They said the tendency of getting pregnant early is very low. I prefer to undergo an operation if I want to get my baby. But if the drug that you will prescirbe will shrink it, then I think there is no problem.

Doctor, please, help me out. Infact, I do cry whenever am alone and I think a lot concerning both the miscarriage and the fibroid of a thing.


Thanks so much for the advise and please, can you send me your email address. This is mine:ti2_awo@yahoo.com.

Sorry doctor, I forgot to add this to it.
"drawback would mean you wouldn't be able to get pregnant for at least a year and it may not work". What is the meaning of that?
Is it that if I should use the drug, it will not work or what?
Also, you said the fibroid is affecting my "cavity". Please, where is the cavity located because the sonologist told me that the fibroid is located very close to my womb.

As am sending a reply tp this trend, am seriously BLEEDING.

Please, kindly help me out.

Thanks
