Q&A

Answered by Dr. Eeshani Dutta

Why do I have back and stomach pain and no periods from the last six months?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. First of all, please rule out urinary tract infection by doing a urine routine examination and culture sensitivity. There may be many other causes of chronic pelvic pain, such as: Ovulation pain occurs mid-cycle but is self-limiting. Endometriosis may cause severe, painful periods.

When should I be trying to conceive again after miscarriage?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. First of all, miscarriages may be caused by chromosomal abnormalities, hormone problems, distorted anatomy of the uterus, infectious causes, or unknown causes. As you do not have a history of recurrent miscarriages, you do not need to panic about your next pregnancy. Also, you need to get rid of the cyst, as cysts reduce the efficacy of any fertility medicines. As the size is less than 2 inches, give it three months to reduce by taking oral contraceptives (Yaz, Diane 35) and Folic acid.

Is a blood clot normal after taking Mifepristone?

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.First of all, have you done a USG pelvis to know about the size and site of pregnancy?Once an intrauterine pregnancy less than seven weeks is confirmed, only then should you use Mifegest kit; otherwise, it may cause you serious bleeding, with a need for hospitalization and blood transfusion.

Why am I experiencing vaginal pain during sex?

Hi, Welcome to iclinq.com. You seem to have Progesterone implant. There may be a slight change in the mucus quality due to these hormones, rendering it thicker, hence less lubricating. There may be a small crack or tear (due to sexual activity) due to inadequate lubrication. In my view, you should avoid sexual activity for a few days and allow it to heal.

I am spotting randomly after an abortion. Please advise.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Please ensure that you have had a complete abortion or that there are still bits of retained products of conception in your uterus by doing a transvaginal scan. Since it was a second-trimester pregnancy, there may be chances of RPOC, which can lead to irregular spotting or bleeding. In such a case, you may need a D&C (dilatation and curettage) to remove the RPOC. Secondly, sertraline reduced the efficacy of birth control pills, and hence the failure rate increased.

How can I regain my body shape after C-sections?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Pregnancy causes havoc in a woman's body due to loads of hormones flowing in the blood for nine long months. With an increasing girth of your bump, your abdominal skin and underlying muscles also get stretched and weakened, often leading to diastasis recti, which is not observed at first. Now, once the pregnancy is over, those weakened and overstretched muscles are noticed as a lax abdomen and saggy belly. During pregnancy itself, we need to work on our posture alignment, and some regular exercises (walking, swimming, yoga, belly breathing, squatting, abdominal bracing) to keep the core muscles strengthened.

Why did I get heavy bleeding after taking Krimson?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Krimson is an Estrogen-Progesterone medicine. It requires some time to balance your hormones. Relax, do not worry about the bleeding until it is heavy like changing pads often like two hours. Instead, clitoris stimulation may have caused some mild uterine contraction, amounting to squeeze out of some blood remnants inside the uterine cavity.

Can I start Microgynon right after taking EllaOne?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Ellaone (Ulipristal) stays in the body for around 36 to 72 hours after ingestion. So hormonal oral contraceptives should be started only after five days, to be assured that there is no reduced effect of combined oral contraceptives due to Ulipristal, which is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. Combined OCPs (oral contraceptive pills) are fully effective after seven days of continuous hormone usage, so you need to take an additional method of contraception like condoms for these days. Please revert back if you have any liver impairment, gallbladder disease, migraine, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or breast condition.

Is post-sex sperm leakage normal after a D and C procedure?

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Fertilization of ova requires a single sperm, and a normal male ejaculate contains millions of them. So sperm leakage should not be the only concern causing your subfertility. You need to go through some tests for you and your partner to rule out other causes as well. D and C (dilatation and curettage) sometimes cause intrauterine adhesions or tubal block, which may be a cause in some cases of infertility.
