Avatar f tn I was without estrogen for some time in this year, and then I used local estrogen (Vagifem) and Vaginal balans. My vagina and vaginal atrium and urethra are in poor condition. I have also had osteopenia previously. And I have hypercalcemia, I should not use calcium pills. Could it be possible that I have cystitis or vaginitis? I hardly have any discharge from vagina. I had my first bacterial vaginitis in January this year. I had abnormal bleeding before it.
Avatar f tn Symptom were frequent urination, vaginitis, many urinary tract infections. Doctor went in with scope and dye. He said he had to stretch urethra just to get scope in and that it is not pliable. I have had triple neg. breast cancer in 2011. Currently on antibiotics but he also wants me to use estrogen cream by rubbing on labia twice a week for 4 months. Will this be beneficial and safe since I have had cancer?
Avatar f tn When I went home, I noticed that I was bleeding from my urethra and vagina. I called the urologist and he said it was common. I was mystified, but I let it slide. As I mentioned before I am menopausal/premeopausal, meaning that I sometimes have menses that are heavy and sometimes lasts for a month or longer, sometimes shorter. I noticed that during my menses, I had bleeding from my ureter as well. During the time between periods, and even skipped months I have this severe burning.
Avatar m tn organs in the right place. Stretched my urethra...ugh. no better. said I had a stenosis and atrophy of the urethra. Gave me a script for Vesicare but told me to wait a few days to see how procedure goes. also mentioned estrogen Creme. I am miserable....what should I do?
Avatar m tn Went to Urologist who thought i either have IC (interstitial cystitis) or that my bladder and urethra was just inflamed from infection. He did a renal ultrasound to make sure nothing else is going on and plans to do a cystoscopy if I am not better by middle of January. My regular doctor wanted to do a physical to see if anything else was going on. When he did, he tested me for STD's and it came positive for herpes.
Avatar f tn you might risk getting scar tissue that would be detrimental, and who knows the condition of your urethra after 53 years of no use.) Anyway, it sounds like the only reason this was discovered is that you had some random bleeding from your uterus. I would not think it is bleeding because of the connection of the bladder to the vagina, or anything.
Avatar n tn It can happen to any breed, Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence (USMI) Affected ******* that are affected by this have poor tone to the smooth muscle surrounding their urethra (the tube that connects the bladder with the vagina), and often a shorter urethra than normal, and a bladder neck that is positioned too far back in the abdomen.
Avatar n tn She did not completely lose conciuosness but was unable to get help for 5+ days. She was dehydrated when found and was on a catheter for about a week and has been repeatedly treated for urinary infections. She has frequent urgent need to urinate in day and at night with no pain, bleeding or discomfort. normal color. She has been on Detrol and prior Ditropan, neither helps at all. She has no trouble emptying bladder and does have quite a bit of urine when she goes to bathroom.
Avatar f tn I have had problems with my urinary opening, vaginal atrium and vagina. My distal urethra has been swollen, sore and smarting. On May 7, 2013, I found a "sand" grain betveen my labia. It vas brownish, with innumeral vacuoles and some regular structures, not exactly like microvilli. Maybe such grains, if numerous, irritate my external genitalia, urinary opening and vagina. A few weeks ago I found another (3-4 mm in dimater) "concretion" from my pharynx.
Avatar f tn Can vaginal dryness cause a tear to the urethra, causing the blood in the urine, and if so, will it heal shortly or should I seek medical attention?
Avatar f tn Female, 51. Started having a burning sensation and redness on the vulva right outside of the vagina two months ago. GYN did a test and said I had bacterial vaginosis (though no discharge or odor). Went through two different creams/ointments and an antibiotic pill and a biopsy of the red area. Came back as "chronic inflammation" and the BV test was still coming back positive. Now I'm on several weeks of premarin cream because the doc thinks I'm low on estrogen.
Avatar f tn However during surgery both my ureters were covered in scar tissue and attached to my bowel and one to the ovary. I also had laser residue on my bladder flap and so I am not sure what it was or if it was just adhesions but I no longer have those symptoms. It is also possible that you have IC (interstitial cystitis) which go hand in hand with Endo and I would think Adeno as well. So hearing you speak I would think its one or the other, scar tissue causing an obstruction or IC.
Avatar f tn ve been going back and forth between doctors with symptoms of burning and stinging in my vulvar vestibule and urethra, incessant urge to urinate, and low grade fevers. I got tested for Hsv 2 through separate labs using iGM antibodies twice (2-3 weeks apart) with results of first 2.53, then 2.25. Both igG tests were negative. I'm confused because I haven't engaged in any high risk behavior in the past year.
Avatar n tn t have, and was placed on a higher dose of estrogen. I use the vivelle dot patch, oral estrogen and vaginal estrogen. This seems to have helped the urinary problems amongst other things. Are you on hormone replacement? There is a great book I am reading called "Screaming to be heard" by Elizabeth Vliet MD and it really goes into detail on how hormones affect every organ system. Are you on Hormone replacement? I hope this helps, and I hope you get some answers.
Avatar n tn This is ultimately a very low dose of hormone and does not require any progesterone nor does it even approach estrogen replacement. Very low risk, but I would certainly recommend a pelvic exam and breast exam/mammogram before starting. If you are not menopausal, you can use pyridium daily, 100-200 mg. tablets up to 3 per day. Also, get a pelvic MRI looking for a urethral diverticulum. Good luck! S.A.Liroff, M.D.
405855 tn?1217100767 What is the correlation of estrogen and follicles? What should the estrogen number be before ovulation. Can this number be affected if you are taking Femara. On CD11, I had 5 follis - 20, 15, 18, 17, 16, 12 but my estrogen was only 23, is it possible? My lining was so think 4 mm only.
Avatar f tn I remember that prior to starting treatment in Sept 09, I read somewhere that being post menopause would be a negative strike against me but I still opted to NOT take estrogen. I have been in surgical menopause since 1996, I took estrogen for 10 years and then quit because of the increased chance of breast cancer after taking estrogen so many years. I finished treatment (without taking estrogen since 2006) and I achieved SVR.
Avatar m tn I went through a serious bout of stress from my job a couple of years ago and ended up leaving. My hair thinned, I started getting fat round my waste and on my chest giving me the dreaded man boobs look. The stress and lack of sleep got so bad at times that I often forgot what day it was and could not sleep or stop my hands from shaking. Now the problem remains and I can't get rid of it. My DHEA is fine and so is my testosterone.
Avatar m tn three months ago I had Pnemonia and even with using bi -est, I am having hot flashes and night sweats which has never happened to me on a constant basis. My husband thinks the pnemunia/fever rearranged my hormones and it will take awhile for them to settle down. I am 57 and was pretty stable on the bi-est. has this ever happened to anyone else?? Thx!
Avatar n tn On aug 16 my urine started to be cloudy and it burned a little at the end of peeing , also had this weird feeling in my urethra like tickling. I took a home uti test and it tested positive for leukocytes but no nitrites. I then went to health dept who said i had a uti and I could possibly kick it with cranberry pills and water. The burning went away but not the tickling feeling like a spasm. So i then went to the dr who put me on Cipro for five days today is the fourth.
429647 tn?1249753429 my ttumor was tested and it was estrogen positive i am on an estrogen blocker.. how about asking your doc if the tumor was estrogen positive or not.
Avatar f tn I am new to this forum, and new to the world of menopause. I recently had my last ovary removed due to cysts and endometreosis. I did not want to go through menopause or life with no estrogen at age 35, so I opted for the estrogen hormone therapy. I chose to go with the Estradiol patches. I think that it regulates the estrogen more efficiently and you can't forget to take a pill! Let me give you my two cents on your issues...know that I am not a dr., but am going through this myself.
587083 tn?1327120262 Soy and estrogen: I've read much conflicting information about this, but what I believe we can say for sure is that soy products (soy milk, tofu, edamame) supply a weak form of estrogen from plant sources, called phytoestrogens. With menopause your body stops making estrogen. Eating soy products seems to boost the estrogen a bit, but is that good? I was a regular consumer of soy milk, tofu, edamame and flax seed after menopause.
Avatar n tn Does anyone happen to know if there has been a connection with too much estrogen causing more neuropathy pain?? Anyone experience the onset of neuropathy after a hysterectomy? I would appreciate any info.
