Can I take painkillers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen?) for period cramps, if I'm on fluoxetine?

Gynecologyy

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Generally ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used for period cramps. However, if you're taking fluoxetine, an antidepressant, it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using pain relievers to ensure there are no potential interactions or risks. They can provide personalized guidance based on your situation.

Is this pregnancy report is positive? Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone < 5.00 mIU/ml

Female | 28

When the beta hCG level is under 5.00 mIU/ml, it means no pregnancy is detected. If you think pregnancy's possible, you can retest later.

Female | 22

A pregnancy test you took in April can help clarify things. Various factors, including contraceptive pills, stress, weight fluctuations, and hormone imbalances, may disrupt your cycle. If the test is negative, there's no need to panic. Simply wait a while or consult a gynecologist if concerns persist.

I AM 15 Weeks pregnant and my TSH Harmone is 3.75 is it normal or I have required medicine

Female | 30

When you are 15 weeks pregnant, the TSH level at 3.75 is a minimally higher value than the ideal range for pregnancy, but it remains on the safer side. So if you are not at the stage of subclinical disease, this parameter indicates that your thyroid is not far from the ideal range for pregnancy.

My friend had Intercourse on 26th January but wasn't sure about taking pill and got her periods on 28th January. But now it's February more than 10 days she didn't got her periods so is there any chance of pregnancy!!!

Female | 22

I would suggest your friend does a pregnancy test to find out whether she is actually a pregnant or not. Beyond pregnancy, periods get delayed because of many reasons like stress, hormonal abnormalities, or other physical problems. For further confirmation vist to a gynecologist is recommended

My wife tuck pireod delay tablet. But we don't know she was pregnant

Female | 34

If your wife took a period delay tablet but didn’t realize she was pregnant, look for symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. It can be dangerous to postpone menstruation while being expecting as it may affect the fetus. To ensure the safety of both the mother and the child, it is recommended to refrain from using the pills and consult with a gynecologist.

Female | 18

Your period missing 2 months, that's concerning. Stress, weight shifts, hormone issues, or medical conditions could cause this. Visiting a gynecologist is smart; they'll help pinpoint the reason. Maybe prescribe meds or advise lifestyle tweaks to normalize your cycle. When menstrual changes happen, get expert guidance wise. They'll examine, troubleshoot, and recommend solutions suited just for you.

I am a 22 year old female. I had sex with a condom on 11th of July which is two days after my ovulation date. After the sex, I took an emergency pill (eazy pill) just to be certain. On the 18th I started bleeding and it stopped on the morning of 20th. I'm expected to get my period today the 23rd but all I'm feeling is weird abdominal cramping and the constant need to poop. What could this indicate?

Female | 22

It is normal to feel down at some point, especially after taking the emergency pill. The bleeding and cramping you're experiencing can be side effects of the pill, caused by hormonal imbalance. The strange abdominal pain and the frequent need to use the bathroom may also be due to these hormonal changes. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well. If you continue to feel unwell, it is advisable to discuss your condition with a gynecologist.

Iam 35 years old female n I was wondering how did I get Cervical cancer

Female | 35

The problem of cervical cancer is caused when the cells in the cervix get as a matter of fact, out of hand. The primary connection is through the HPV virus, which is transmitted during sexual activities. Some non-specific symptoms may also be there including the following: bleeding from the unusual site the woman has never experienced before, pain during sex, and pelvic pain. The use of Pap smears and HPV vaccines is one of the ways to minimize the risk of cervical cancer. This may happen to the p. by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

He kissed me and rubbed his body to me but with clothes on and he also pressed my vagina with his fingers yesterday. Today morning l am bleeding . Am I pregnant or just a menstrual period. And my period is 7 days away.

Female | 22

Pregnancy because of the incident is improbable. Bleeding might result from injury during what occurred. Additionally, stress can sometimes lead to bleeding. Remaining calm is crucial. If bleeding persists or pain arises, visit a gynecologist. If pregnancy concerns you, a test could be taken after your expected period.

I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative and got my period but I’m really bloated and constipated. Can I be pregnant even if I got my period three days later after having sex?

Female | 17

It's Unlikely THAT you're pregnant if you got your period.. Bloating and constipation are common PMS symptoms.. Stress Can also cause similar symptoms.. However, if you miss your next period, take another test OR consult your doctor.. Always use CONTRACEPTION to prevent unwanted pregnancy..

Hi there, I’m a sexually active female for reference. I have been sexually active for 5 months now and have never had an issue with pain related to sex. This was until the last couple of days. My boyfriend and I had not seen each other in 3 weeks and I just returned home from my trip. We decided to celebrate by having sex. Our celebration ended when I started feeling this immense pain. My boyfriend believes that it could have been from there not being enough lubrication. This pain has continued tor 3 days now, even hurting while not having sex. Sex definitely heightens the pain and discomfort. We have not had sex sense the pain started because it hurts too bad. It even hurts when it is being rubbed. The pain is located surrounding the opening of my vagina, both inside and out, seemingly on the side furthest from my butt. Does that make sense? This is a concern of mine and I was wondering if there was a logical explanation and perhaps an at home treatment? Along the same lines, not sure if they are related. My vagina has been very itchy. I have not noticed any irregular discharge. What may be causing this and what can be done? Also, I just recently started two new supplements. I notice my vaginal discharged had an odor. I started the “Rae’s vaginal balance” supplement and the “Azo cranberry” supplement in hopes to rectify the situation. Is there a reason why I stink and what can I do to fix the issue?

Female | 18

It seems like you might be having pain during intercourse because of dryness; however, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist in order to rule out any underlying medical issues such as infection or endometriosis. The itching and smell, which can also be caused by an infection or imbalance of your vaginal flora. It is preferably to be referred by gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and plan of action.
