Answer: Your question is incomplete. However, PCO ( polycystic ovaries )
are associated with irregular periods, anovulation and obesity. You must
lose weight as that would help you ovulate and regularise your cycles.
Have an ultrasound done on day 11 of the cycle. If the follicles("eggs")
are small and you are not ovulating , you would require drugs like
clomid . Discuss with your doctor regarding that. Careful monitoring on
ultrasound is required while you are taking clomid to determine the most
fertile period and to observe that your ovaries are not enlarging. Also,
let me know your husband's semen report and whether your tubes are
patent. |

Question
had irregular periods and the couse is polycyst. I
took tablets for getting rid of it. It is almost cured now. But still I
have irregular periods. Doctor asked me to take a scan on 13th day after
my periods. The scan report said the cyst has reduced considerably and
the egg size is 2.1 cm. The doctor asked me to take registrone and
folygel for 10 days from the 15th day of my periods and Syphene from 5th
day of my periods for 5 days. Will registrone stop me from getting
pregnant? We are planning for a baby after 2 or 3 months. Will consuming
these tablets cause any side effects?
|
|
|
Answer: You have mentioned that you have " polycst" . I presume you
meant PCO ( polycystic ovaries ). This is associated with irregular
period and one can never get " rid of it ". You probably have regular
periods because of registrone. Since your egg size is good, you should
conceive. Registrone will not prevent you from conceiving. The tablets
are safe as far as the baby is concerned, so do not worry about that.
All the best !

|
|
|
Answer: The medication given to you is fine and should help you ovulate.
Have an ultrasound done on day 12 of the period to determine whether you
are ovulating or not. This would also determine your fertile period.
Also, have your husband's semen checked and your tubes. All the best !

Question
Namaste Doctor, I got married in March 25 2007.My
wife is 5 ft 4' in height & weighs 80 kg. Her Thyroid report was
perfectly normal & now her periods are also regular. But blood flow is
not much during periods. After 5 to 7 days she is getting blood flow &
that too not a heavy flow. We have planned for an issue. I am 5ft 11' &
weigh 85 kg with normal body structure(expect for apple belly).We
consulted a doctor & they gave progyluton to regularise the cycle. How
can we know which is the right time for doing intercourse.Kindly help
us.. also she has a itching sensation after semen is in contact with her
organs & she immedietly rushes to wash it. Normally whenever i do not
have intercourse i prefer to ejaculate myself almost daily.Should i stop
ejaculating before 3 days of the so called 'best possible period' Kindly
explain.. Humble Pranams!! |
|
|
Answer: You have not mentioned whether your wife is ovulating or not.
Have a scan done on day 11 of the period to determine the most fertile
period. Are her periods irregular without the progyluton ? If she is
found not to ovulate, she would require drugs like clomid. What is your
semen report ? Let me know, so I can advice you further. She must see a
gynec. who can examine her and determine whether she has any vaginal
infection.

Question
Dear Doctor, I am 31 years old and my Wife is 26
years. We got married in August 2006. We are in US now.While Coming from
India Our Doctor Advised my wife to take Fertyl tablets After 3rd day
(3-7 Day)from the Cycle.My wife has Cycle period of 35-40 days. Is there
any Side effect is there by taking this tablets? And How many month She
has to take this tablets?
|
|
|
|
Answer: Your wife must have a scan done on day 12 of the period
to determine whether she is ovulating or not. Also, that would determine
whether her ovaries have got enlarged ( formed cysts) with the fertyl.
Your fertile period would also be determined by that.The side effects
are forming cysts or having multiple pregnancies. DO NOT TAKE THE
TABLETS AGAIN WITHOUT DOING A SCAN !Let me know the results, so I can
advice you further. |

Hi Doctor, I have been consulting doctor from past
1+ Year, she does scanning every month & says that I may get pregnant as

report is normal. When I ask my doctor about the same she say I don't
have any problem. Can you please help me in the same, I am very much
tensed because of this.

|
|
Answer: First of all, do not get stressed, as that , also, can
prevent a pregnancy. Since you are ovulating and your husband's semen is
normal, you do not need to worry. Have you checked your tubes ? Let me
know the results of that. Which city are you in ? If you are in Oman,
you can see me . My number is 24563181. |

Answer: You must have got a period by now. Repeat a scan
to determine whether the lining has thinned out and also whether the
mass has reduced in size. Before you wish to conceive again, have a
hysterosalpingography done to check the patency of the left tube. |

Question
Doctor,I am a 20 Yr. old girl. My periods are
irregular, at times it has even skipped a month, this time also it is
delayed by 15 days.Though I am into physical relationship,I have never
been peneterated.I got a pregnancy test done after 10 days of my missed
period and it was negative.I even got an ultrasound done,which detected
my endometrium to be 10.4mm thick in the middle,nothing else was found
to be abnormal.Though I always sense a little vaginal white discharge,it
has become extreme these days.Even my periods from last year has reduced
to 2 or 3 days.I have tested negative for thyriod also.However,one thing
I would like to bring to your notice is that I have a drastic change in
my routine as I quit my job last month and I have also been in extreme
stress from last few days.As suggested by my Gynae,I am taking meprate.I
just wanted to know after all these tests,are there still any chances of
pregnancy?
|
|
|
Answer: You have not mentioned whether you have PCO.( Polycystic
ovaries ). This is associated with irregular periods. Repeat the scan on
day 6 of the period to ensure that you do not have an ovarian cyst.
Stress is a common reason for irregular periods.How are you taking
meprate? Is it only for 5 days to get a period or throughout the cycle ?
Just 5 days should be fine , to avoid a long- term use of hormones. |

Question
I got married one year back. i am not getting
periods regularly.foe eg:if i get periods in the month of july.not
getting periods in the month of august,getting periods in the month of
september..only after 45 days my cycle starts.i do not know whether i am
pregrant or not.and i am having thyroid too.is there any problem because
of that.
|
|
|
Answer:
You must maintain your thyroid levels in the normal range by medication.
An abnormality in these can cause irregular periods. Have you done an
ultrasound ? This would reveal whether you have PCO .( Polycystic
ovaries ). This is associated with irregular periods.A urine test for
pregnancy would be helpful. |

Question
I am getting periods for 8 to 9 days always and
overflow of bleeding too.my cycle starts every 35 days or 45 days
once.so i do not know the correct date when my cycle starts.
|
|
|
Answer: You must have an ultrasound done to rule out the presence
of a fibroid or an ovarian cyst. Also, have your hemoglobin checked. If
it is low, take iron tablets. I do not know which city you are in, so I
cannot advice you regarding medication. You should consult your doctor
regarding medication taken from the second day of the period to reduce
your flow. |

as the bleeding on the 24th could be even due to pregnancy. If the test
is positive, have an ultrasound done. |

hi,i have currently been in a relationship with my
childs father of 3 years and this other guy of 4 months, but not at the
same time me and childs father broke up. ok on august 6th of 2008,(witch
was me and this guys first time having sex since being togeather), me
and the guy had unprotected sex, (this was the first day of my
menstrual) and he had came in me, on the 20th at 1am i took a test it
said negitive.now the next day i decided to get back with my childs
father and work things out,because he realy wanted to, and so did i. we
had unprotected sex the following day and he came in me also, and we
have been having sex every morning since then and he had came in me all

father and i was wondering if you could try and figure this out for me,
i have been messing with my childs father since the 20th and me and this
other guy are no longer involved.
|
|
|
Answer: First of all, check whether you are pregnant or not. The
urine test is ususally positive 15 days after conception. Since you had
done the test on the 20th and it was negative, it is unlikely that you
conceived on 6th August. |

married.My problem is aftermy ovulation period, dark clotted
blood(little amt) comes out in vagina,it continues till my next
period.After my period, I am normal.This happens around 14th day from
period.My periods are regular(28days cycle). I consulted a doctor, she
said, i amhaving poly cist uterus. pls help me in this.
|
|
|
Answer: You probably have PCO ( polycystic ovaries ). - not "polycyst
uterus ", as you have mentioned. That , however, may not be the reason
for your spotting. Do you have a fibroid in the uterus ? Have a pelvic
examination done to determine whether you have vaginal or cervical
infection or polyp. These may cause this problem. let me know,the
result, so I can advice you accordingly. |

now. regards, Aasha

|
|
Answer: Do a urine test for pregnancy. If you have got a period,
do a scan on the 5th day of the period to determine whether you have an
ovarian cyst, which can give irregularity of period. Repeat the scan on
day 12 of the period to determine whether you are ovulating or not.
Also, have your thyroid hormones checked, as an abnormality in these can
also give irregular , scanty periods. Let me know all these, so I can
advice you further. |
