mauryn87:Hi, There are 2 types of painful periods. The primary type has no known cause and it is usually common during the years after the first ever menstruation in adolescents and young adults The secondary type is caused by a specific medical condition like a fibroid, endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc, and usually arise after extended period of painless mesntruation. Pain relievers can help, and are available over the counter. There are other helpful medications that may be used when prescribed by a doctor. Primary painful periods will improve with age, and pregnancy. Most would significantly subside after the first pregnancy. All the best |

omicron: She has regular periods (30 days as told), all tests are normal, her condition so far is unexplained. Tubes are are fine but she was told she is slightly pcos. |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 10:05pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
mauryn87:Ok. You can only conclude it is the primary type when all likely secondary causes have been ruled out. Other pain relievers used belong to the group as felvin. Mefenamic acid may be more effective. Diclofenac is also effective. Others are Naproxen and Ibuprofen. These drugs are taken with food, and children, the elderly, and those with peptic ulcer should avoid them. |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 10:10pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
nkem79:Ok. Well, PCOS is PCOS. Nothing like "slight PCOS". Approach to "unexplained infertilty" include "watch and wait" and assisted reproduction techniques like IVF or Artificial Insemination. |

Evening house, Came across this thread for the first time today and I would like your input. Sometime in January I started having discharges,I went to a pharmacy and was given some drugs but they didn't seem to work.I went to see a doctor,did a swab and tested positive for a yeast infection.i was given diflucan and augmentin.the discharge and itch stopped but returned two wks later.I did another swab and I still tested positive for a yeast infection and staph.Only that this time I was also pregnant so the doctor suggested I take no drugs at all. So from that time till I was 25wks,I didn't take any drugs for the discharge or itching.At 25wks,I was given klovinal pessaries for 5day(since the itch and discharge had become really much and I suspected i had Bv as well) The discharge stopped only to return after about a wk(I suspect this was due to a re infection by my hubby cos we made love). I went back to the hospital and had a swab done.i was then given ampicillin tablets and klovinal pessaries again for 5days since I again tested positive to candidiasis and staph.its been 3days I ended this treatment but I still feel funny!I read online that candidiasis during pregnancy can be pretty difficult to treat Moreso as mine went untreated for 6straight months! Pls what do I do?(now 30wks preg) |

Morning doctor, what can i use for vaginal discharge odour. my hubby always complain whenever we av sex. note- im very neat and i dont have vaginal itching. thanks |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 11:53am On Sep 09, 2015 |
mauryn87:There are. Paracetamol and its combinations can be used. If your ulcer is not active, your doctor could still prescribe you NSAIDs (diclofenac and co) with an acid-blocking pill ( a controversial practice), to be taken a few times during the painful periods. Your doctor may also use oral contraceptives to manage your painful periods if he determines that you can take it, and if you are not ttc. |

aolatunde00:Hi, Candidiasis is not really an "Infection" in the sense that many people understand it. Understand it as a condition that arises when one is exposed to some risk factors like obesity, antibiotic use/abuse, low immunity and pregnancy. When any of these risk factors continue to be present, candidiasis is difficult to eliminate, and the person could be said to have recurrent candidiasis. I think that is the problem here, pregnancy being a major risk factor in you. Ensure, however, that Bacterial Vaginosis, is ruled out as it could present with similar clinical features to candidiasis. BV, unlike candidiasis, may adversely affect pregnancy (premature labour). Candidiasis will respond to Topical (recommended) or oral (not advised) antifungals, but it might return in the face of a persistent risk factor. All the best. |

ciscajewel:Good morning, To count your cycle, the first day of bleeding (June 10) is the 1st day of the cycle, while the the day before the next cycle (Jul 7) is the last day of the previous cycle. Your june - july was 28 days. July - August, 28 days and Aug - Sept 30 days. Your average cycle is about 28/29 days. It is a normal cycle in length and regularity. |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 12:38pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
Chili89:Good morning, Your Jun - july and July - Aug cycles are 26 and 27 days respectively. The period of bedding was the correct time for those ttc, as your ovulation must have been around then. You have not asked a specific question though, but if you were wondering whether you have conceived, I would advise that you wait till the end of your cycle to run a PT. If your temperature is overtly raised, you should see your doctor. All the best. |

I omicron: Thanks dr.i read somewhere that using garlic as an insert might work so I tried it for the first time last night.I also bought forever active probiotic tablets though I'm yet to start using them. Are they safe for me to use in pregnancy? Do you think they will be of any help? |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 12:48pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
Opejibola01:Hi, A characteristic, non-foul smellin vaginal odour may be normal. Oral contraceptives may also cause some vaginal discharge. Offensive odours, esp with discharge, indicate an infection such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. Women with bacterial vaginosis usually have a fish-like vaginal odour that is more noticeable after unprotected intercourse. Your vaginal diacaharge/odour will be diagnosed in the hospital and pills prescribed for you. Vaginal hygiene consists of washing regularly with plain water or unmedicated soaps. Most over-the-counter vaginal hygiene products and vaginal douching are not advised, as they may predispose to candidiasis or discharge. Nylon underwears may also predispose or worsen vaginal discharge/odour. All the best. |

Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by aolatunde00: 4:22pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
Thank you doctor. I read inserting garlic in the vagina might help as well as using probiotics. I tried the garlic thingy for the first time last night but I'm yet to begin using the forever living active probiotic I just got. Are they probiotics and garlic in pregnancy? Can they help? Thanks |

Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 10:20pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
aolatunde00:Ok. I do not know about the use or effects of Garlic insert. Probiotics are being tried in the orthodox management of BV, though their efficacy have been a subject of controversy. You may try them. |
Re: Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology by omicron(m): 10:25pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
Peacewealth:Are you ttc again? Since last period was Aug 21, it is a bit too early. Nxt week will be more reliable for a PT. All the best |

IVF/IUI Talk!!! In vitro fertilization or fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro ("in glass". The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. If you will agree with me, IVF in practical understanding is the wisdom of God manifest in the knowledge and understanding of human. Anyways, we don't have to flog this. While this medical practice is almost 100% (99.9%) success in some part of the world, it is still 50% with our best consultants here in Nigeria. Our government need help revamp our health sector. If you need discuss your IVF or speak with a consultant free of charge, Panel of Consultants at Ruby Hall Clinic, India will be delighted to avail you right information. To arrange video-conference session for you, speak with Folu: Mobile: 08116950634, 08038243730 Whatsapp: 08038243730 BBM: 2BA5C16B Facebook: Komolafe F.

dexcira:Hi, When was your last menstrual period? And are you on oral contraceptives? An acute-onset vaginal discharge with fever indicate an acute PID, especially when there is a positive relevant sexual history. You may run an endocervical swab, a high vaginal swab, and a full blood count. It is better to see a doctor before the labs. You will require a dose of antibiotics, if so diagnosed. I am not in Lagos, so I do not know many hospitals on the island. Reddington is on the island, and I believe they are of a high standard. All the best. |

Huskyfrancis:Hi, IVF success rate is not 100% in any part of the world. Average international success rates are still well below 50% for couples with the best chances. We know IVF is a very important treatment regime for some couples, and that average rates in medically more developed societies may be higher than average rates in Nigeria, but distorting medical information for purposes of advertisement/marketting is detrimental to (potential) patients.
