There seems to be a connection with Crohn's pain and oral contraceptives, so the same might hold true with estrogen replacement.

Hi Dr's I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me, I made the mistake of reading some forums and wonder if I may have contracted NGU which I have never heard of until reading these forums. I had what I would think was a non risk exposure experimenting with another male. He performed protected oral sex on me and also spit on the head of my penis when the condom wasn't on me and rubbed it in. From everything I have read this is a non risk exposure.
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.

After unprotected intercourse and oral sex with a new girlfriend I soon developed bleeding of the gums and an intermittent light burning in the prostate area. Is Staphylococcus considered an STD and will the antibiotic Microbid kill it?
Thank you.
I am 43 years old, I used oral contraceptives for more than 7 years. Now, I have this yellowish fluid discharges in my left breast nipple for about 4 years now. Does this fluid discharges have something to do with my prolonged used of oral contraceptives? Does this has something to do with "breast cancer"? I am so worried about it, please help me enlightened. What the best thing to do? Thank you and God Bless.
I found out tuesday that i have a pretty horribly UTI after swearing i had a yeast infection. I was put on Macrobid 1 pill twice a day for 7 days. This is day is day 3 of the pills and i was wondering how long until it starts working? i am not in nearly as much pain as I was, but the pain with urination is still there slightly and get worse at night.
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.
DOES MACROBID CAUSE BLEEDING OR MAKE YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE COME EARLY. I JUST FINISHED MACROBID 7 DAY TREATMENT. MY MENSTRUAL CAME 3 DAYS EARLY AND THERE IS BRIGHT RED BLOOD AND USUALLY MY MENSTRUAL BLOOD IS NOT THAT BRIGHT. I INITIIALLY WASNT DUE FOR MY MENSTRUAL UNTIL YESTERDAY I'VE BEEN BLEEDING SINCE THE 3RD AND IM STILL BLEEDING BUT NOT ALOT LIKE I WAS YESTERDAY AND THE DAYS BEFORE BUT THE BLEEDING HAS LIGHTENED.
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.
I have been treated recently with macrobid for a bladder infection and took a single dose of More Milk Plus. My urine is a dark color too, and I have no rashes, bumps or dry skin, but very, very itchy! Please help.
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.
Was in the ER weekend before last. Diagnosed me with a UTI, and put me on Macrobid 100mg BID. Got a call yesterday, they said my culture reads that the bacteria in my urine is resistant to Macrobid. So apparently they didn't do a Culture and Sensitivity test when I was in the ER like they should have. I had to pay $50 for the Macrobid that I took, that didn't and wouldn't do diddly-squat for my "UTI". I think I was misdiagnosed and mistrated with the Macrobid.
I was very concerned because I had had an affair that included receiving unprotected oral sex, along with a history of a lot of unsafe oral sex. The tests all came back negative. The doxy worked very well, with symptoms going away. I was almost feeling completely better and only had a few more pills to take when suddenly, out of nowhere, my right testicle began to hurt a lot. I went back to my doctor, and was referred to a urologist.
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?
I do know that the weakness and numbness in one side can be caused by the MS, but it did not occur until i took the macrobid. I was stopped from taking the macrobid and started on it 2 more times and each time the weakness returned. Is there anyway to fix this? It is getting rather annoying and saddens me cause it feels like i cant do anymore what i like to. If anyone has had the same thing happen, please let me know im not alone... How can the weakness and numbness be stopped.
