Avatar n tn I was taking Linzess and it didn't work and they offer a refund as long as you have your receipt and tell them why, etc.? Do you know if the manufacturer who makes Lubiprostone offers a refund if it doesn't work?
Avatar n tn If there's nothing medically wrong (and you should find out first), you could try one of the eyelash growers. They may also help curl your lashes. Note: These may be made with prostaglandin, or they may be made with a prostaglandin "analogue", or no prostaglandin. I looked up "prostaglandin analogue" and got a list with about a million chemicals.
Avatar m tn I have read about UC producing excess prostaglandin which in turn creates more contractions and sore periods. Is this true? Can someone please help me understand?
Avatar f tn d but i am not having regular contractions so they gave me the prostaglandin medicine inserted down in my cervix to soften and help me get more regular contractions MY QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE EVER GOT THIS AND HOW SOON AND EFDECTIVE WAS IT??
Avatar f tn My dr explained that there are basically 3 types of inductions, and she chose the one that basically gives me the exact same experience like spontaneous labor would. She will start with placing a prostaglandin pill in my cervix and let the contractions start like this. Only if after several hours and 2 prostaglandin pills there are no contractions she will give me oxytocin via the IV. She said that oxytocin starts your contractions immediately.
Avatar m tn My unborn son has been diagnosed with pulmonary atresia w/ hypoplastic right heart syndrome, and tricuspid atresia. I have been told that he will be given prostaglandin after birth to keep the ductus arteriosus open, but will require other sugeries between the first week and first year. My choice is to breastfeed. Will nursing be possible and if so will I only be able to breastfeed thru pumping or will I actually be able to nurse my son.
Avatar f tn The medication used at the hospital to soften the cervix for induction is called cervidil. It is a prostaglandin. The male sperm is a prostaglandin as well. As long as your dr. Hasn't put you on pelvic rest, the more sex the better. Natural cervical ripener! Don't be worried if there is a little pink tinged fluid after because the cervix bleeds easily at this stage of the game. Have fun!
Avatar n tn we have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to see how far i can go over my due date, which according to this app was today, and im scared they are going to try to induce me, but sex thats what my doctor says work even though im still pregnant (40wks), you have to let him release inside you, the sperm has prostaglandin in it, it helps soften the cervix and is also the same thing the hospital use to induce (not sperm artificial prostaglandin),even though im still pregnant i have made progress tward
Avatar f tn You're only 1 cm so really they might use either cervadil or prostaglandin gel. Probably prostaglandin gels, seeing as you're going in the morning, or strait to Pitocin like shastas said. I was 1 cm last week when they had me go in at 7:30 for prostaglandin. After 3 doses I wasn't progressing so they let me go home on bed rest to see what happens. Not much happened, here I am almost a full week later and still not in labor! I was also induced with my first.
Avatar n tn If your cervix is long and closed, they will likely start with a vaginal prostaglandin that can remain up to 24 hours behind the cervix. Unless you are contracting non stop, they will have a quick listen to your baby every hour, except overnight when you should try to get some sleep. After the prostaglandin, they may try a Foley catheter (a balloon they inflate in the cervix to mechanically dilate it). Again, they will listen every hour. I hope this puts you at ease!
Avatar n tn I had visited a specialist in Erectile Disfunction about 4 months ago and they conducted a doppler ultrasound after running a low dose of prostaglandin. They said that the blood flow was normal and ruled the condition as phsycological ED. Question 2) Wouldn't a doppler ultra sound detect a venous leak? They suggested I order a supply of Prostaglandin to use before sex to boost my confidence and then I would no longer need it.
Avatar f tn It's the prostaglandin in the semen that helps soften the cervix.
Avatar f tn It's a separation of the membranes from the cervix. It releases the hormone prostaglandin. It sometimes helps get things going for labour.
10678677 tn?1413254266 Its been shown that sperm has prostaglandin. Which is something your body release to help soften and dilate the cervix. Also having an orgasm releases oxytocin which does the same. But not every women who has sex will for sure go into labor. If you dont hurt yourself its a safe to try and see.
Avatar f tn Heavy and swollen vagina, or uterine cramping? The two would possibly be from different things. If it's your vagina, have you had a lot of unfulfilled sexual activity lately? That can cause the whole vagina to swell up so much that it feels like you're walking around with a biscuit in your underpants. But if it's uterine cramping, has any doctor recommended Ponstel or another anti-prostaglandin? Uterine cramps can be like angina, except it's the uterus and not the heart.
Avatar f tn It's the prostaglandin in semen
Avatar f tn t use condoms and if he goes inside u and cums there is prostaglandin in the sperm which can make your uterus have small contractions and when u orgasm u also have contractions of the uterus. It should go away after an hour or so. And tge puking is probably just from stressing over the thought of something wrong. How far along are you?
Avatar n tn Stay active and roll your hips on a birthing ball, but yes sex and prostaglandin is a good way to get things started, but it stops sometimes afterwards. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Its your plug that is coming out u can still take baths and have sex.Semen contains prostaglandin,a natural fatty acid that helps soften and dilate the cervix.That, as well as having an orgasm, can cause the uterus to contract to help speed up the process.
Avatar n tn Have seen with your hubby and let the seven help you with that. The seven contains prostaglandin which softens the cervix.
Avatar f tn t help get labor started, it just helps to soften And ripen your cervix as a prostaglandin just like sperm would.
Avatar f tn So on Friday next week I will be induced on my 41 week exactly and they will be using prostaglandin and not pitocine. Baby boy hasn't dropped and i haven't dilated passed a "finger tip" in 3 weeks. I'm just wondering if anyone has any good experiences with induction, that didn't lead to c section?
Avatar f tn I just started today ^_^ also planning on sex every other day the prostaglandin in semen is good to help soften the cervix. Also starting my daily walks with my boyfriend Saturday since I'm done work tomorrow.
Avatar f tn There are two other types of prostaglandin analogs, three other classes of drops, selective laser trabeculoplasty and surgery as further therapy JCH MD
Avatar n tn I would consider SLT and see how low it gets you in one eye. Might not lower it enough. If not taking a prostaglandin either xalatan or travatan z would be the most effective treatment - just learn to deal with some redness and long eyelashes.
4591205 tn?1410605174 For what it's worth I'm 39+2 AND they attempted to induce using prostaglandin gel yesterday, and I'm only 1 cm and still thick.
