6709254 tn?1389303349 there are no known risks from being on herpes antivirals during pregnancy and current ACOG guidelines are to leave it up to the doctor and the mother. you also should discuss with your provider increasing suppressive therapy to the pregnancy doses for the last month of pregnancy. for valtrex that would be 500mg twice a day. It helps to reduce the risk of having an obvious lesion so that you can deliver vaginally.
Avatar f tn s largest association of obstetricians and gynecologists issued new guidelines today to reduce the number of induced labors now at “epidemic” numbers.
Avatar f tn It's actually 39, guidelines changed about a year ago for ACOG and March of Dimes standards of care. 37-38 weeks is "early term" and 39-41 is "full term" and much safer. Your doctor must not be up to date on the latest research and safety recommendations. I'd wonder what else your ob hasn't learned...yikes.
Avatar f tn The ACOG actually released less restrictive guidelines on vbacs the middle of last year. They now advocate trial VBAC even after a 2nd c/s depending on circumstances and health. However, after having had 4 it is highly unlikely ANY doctor would be willing to forgo the risks to attempt VBAC.
Avatar f tn Hi I was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago and I got both. The ACOG guidelines recommends the dtap vaccine especially sine there has been an increase in baby purtusis.
Avatar f tn I am 74 years old and have been on Hormone Therapy for 24 years. My new doctor had advised me that she will not continue my prescription because she in uncomfortable to prescribe to a woman over 65 years of age. I think that is my decision to make.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed at age 49 in May, 2007 with Stage II, 3 nodes positive. I had 4 rounds of A/C and 4 rounds of Taxol followed by 33 rounds of radiation. My doctor now wants to put me on hormone therapy. I am premenopausal but haven't gotten my period since July due to chemo. She won't put me on Tamoxifin because of a past history of TIA several years ago. She said I would be at too high a risk for stroke on it.
Avatar f tn I have been told from the start that with a lumpectomy I would need radiation. I found out later about the hormone therapy. I want to know if this is standard of care for my situation. I had a 1cm lump including DCIS and ILC. My margins were 6mm, 1cm, 5cm, 6cm. The ILC was in a linear pattern and low nuclear grade. 4 of 4 nodes were negative for cancer. I am ER+ 100% and PR+ 90%. I am HER2 negative. I was told my cancer was caught very early and I should be OK.
Avatar m tn Hi sorry hormone therapy will not help at all , there are no pills or cream to make your penis any bigger , take care ,
Avatar f tn 6+3 would be your gestational age by ACOG guidelines and 4+3 would be embryonic age, thus conception date, give or take a day or two.
Avatar n tn It does not make sense that hormone therapy would not be an option due to your age. It sounds like your gynecologist falls into the majority of gynecologists who treat the uterus solely as a baby bag. But it has many more functions which last a woman's entire life. The uterus and its ligaments are the structural supports for the pelvis.
720228 tn?1530911279 Depending on waht the reasons for your first c/s were, a VBAC is actually much safer and healthier for both you and the baby. I had a c/s with my first and have since had five VBAC's. What were the reasons for the first c/s? I would suggest you google "ICAN online" it's the international cesarean awareness network and it has a lot of valuable information on VBAC versus repeat cesarean.
Avatar m tn These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency. Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.
Avatar f tn A couple of members here, including myself, watched Robin McGraw yesterday speak about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Did you know that women as young as their teens can have hormonal imbalances ? And that you can show signs of perimenopause in your 20s... feel horrible and be misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia ? And yet the medical field has failed us again on this other issue.
Avatar n tn Im reading a lot of advice against the use of hormone replacement therapy, but the studies I have researched report that its the combination of progesterone and estrogen that is bad for you, and that estrogen alone may actually decrease the risk of breast cancer. My question then is has anybody else read any studies similar?
