m kinda worried cuz I later got to find out that antibiotics affect the rate of effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Though after using the oral contraceptive I haven't used the antibiotic now for bout 24hours. Can I continue with the antibiotics? Would the postinor have worked? I need to be sure of whether I might need to take further actions and what actions please if that's the case.
Since they are severe, so systemic medications are usually required. The treatment consists of topical and oral antibiotics, tretinoin, oral contraceptives in females and Intralesional corticosteroid injections. Very severe cases may need excision and drainage. Also the treatment has to be taken for a long time so that relapses do not occur.
There seems to be a connection with Crohn's pain and oral contraceptives, so the same might hold true with estrogen replacement.

Breakthrough bleeding(bleeding while taking the active pills of combined oral contraceptives, or other hormonal contraceptives),spotting and changes in menstrual flow are common side effects after starting the oral contraceptives and they are frequent while taking the triphasic contraceptive(orthotricyclen). Breakthrough bleeding is most common when a woman first begins taking oral contraceptives, or changes from one particular oral contraceptive to another.

I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
Madam,
I got married in 2004 and was blessed with a girl child in April '05. On the advice of a gynaec doctor I started using oral contraceptives (Mala-D) from April '06 on the assurance of the doctor that they are 100% safe. Everything was normal. For the last 6 months I observed a gradual decrease in bleeding during periods. Atlast when 15th June '09 was my actual due date, I did not get my periods till month end.
When a woman is taking oral contraceptives and has to also take antibiotics (such as Cipro) that could decrease the effectiveness of the oral contraceptives, it is recommended that she use a back up method of contraception (i.e. a condom) during the entire time she is on the antibiotics and for 7 days after she stops taking the antibiotics. For more information, you may want to consult with a health care provider or a pharmacist."
I would still advise you to check with your doctor.
Hi -
using oral contraceptives as been reviewed as a possible cause of GM, however there must be another causative factor, or existing disposition, along with a history of use of oral contraceptives, or millions of women (using oral contraceptives) would have GM; just as many arthritis conditions are caused by having some sort of genetic predisposition, so that when a person with that genetic makeup is exposed to for example, simple food borne organisms, it can trigger a reactive arthritis, whi
My husband and I are not currently trying to conceive. My question is in regards to the long-term effects of oral contraceptives on the menstrual cycle.
Does anyone know if taking oral contraceptives (The Pill) can permanently change your menstrual cycle, even after you stop taking them? I used to always have really regular (28ish day long) cycles, but my last few have been almost a week longer than normal.
Overall, however, the risks of endometrial and ovarian cancer appear to be reduced with the use of oral contraceptives, - whereas the risks of breast, cervical, and liver cancer appear to be increased.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
Last week, I was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed 500mg of Cipro and I took it two times a day for five days. On my last day, I noticed that my vaginal discharge had changed colors. It was a very, very, very light brown (tan) color, but I didn't think much of it until it progressively got darker. (I've also had very slight vaginal itching, but it only happens a couple times a day.
I would also wonder if you might have endometriosis. There are other options besides oral contraceptives. One really good option is the Mirena IUD. Sometimes taking anti-inflammatories such as Motrin or Aleve or Lysteda round the clock during your period can reduce flow as well. These are all NON-hormonal.
One last tip--often oral contraceptives can actually improve your chances of having a child by protecting you from worsening endometriosis and/or hyperplasia of the uterine lining.
Had oral sex with a woman I met on adult website now have swollen sublingual area and swollen lymph node could this be sti also was on 100 Doxycycline hylate a day for acne for awhile would this prevent any thing? The swelling began after two and half weeks but also had my teeth cleaned could that cause a sublingual infection?
Doc,
6 days post exposure I went to my doctor who checked my urine and found nothing but treated me anyway with a weeks worth of Doxycycline and a shot of something which I don't remember what. Because I had unprotected sex with my wife 1 day post exposure I am laden with guilt and anxiety that I may have spread gonorrhea to her. My question is this:
How soon after ending my doxycycline can I expect to be reinfected from my wife if I gave her something?
ve seen mulitple doctors and every test comes back normal. Could this be caused by oral contraceptives or from my daily use of two different anti-biotics to treat acne and vaginal strep B? I look like I'm pregnant and I'm uncomfortable all the time.
Many oral contraceptives contain chemical compounds that are designed to simulate the effects of natural hormones in the body. By acting on the endocrine system, these compounds can drastically decrease a woman's chance of getting pregnant. Drospirenone is one example of these types of synthetic hormones. While Drospirenone is effective as a means of birth control, it has also been found to increase a woman's risk of blood clots, stroke, and associated cardiovascular problems.
Hi, After MRI I have been told I have hemangioma on the liver and my doc advised me to stop taking oral contraceptives. Three month later, after reporting a lot of pain on right side of abdomen, I was sent for ultrasound which indicated fatty liver and an cyst on left lobe liver. I am waiting to see specialist which will take months and I am in a lot of pain. Is there anything I can do while I'm waiting to reduce the pain?
It depends on how much liver damage you have. If you were stage 1-2, then oral contraceptives are OK under supervision. Your liver enzymes and other liver parameters have to be regularly checked, especially in the first few months.
If you have higher degree of damage, I would recommend avoiding all oral contraceptives. You are correct, they are hard on the liver and sometimes cause liver damage and elevated LFTs even in healthy women.
That leaves your receipt of unprotected oral sex. Few STIs are acquired from receipt of oral sex. There are no cases of HIV which have been proven to have been acquired through oral sex. The major risks from receipt of oral sex are gonococcal or non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). The doxycycline you have taken would cure or prevent NGU, most gonorrhea and syphilis.
