Doctor In The House:Obstetrics And Gynecology

DR. KATHY,
what is the dosage for mifepristone and misoprostol and what are the likely side effects for a 4wks pregnancy. thanx

I think that covers most that need advice. The other queries have been answered accurately by others on this thread.

The absence of Dr Kathy has made me realise how much she does on this thread and I hope everyone here appreciates it. We give our precious free time to answer queries without reward except for the thanks we get

Dear Dr,
             my gyn placed me on duofem about 3 weeks ago because of severe dysmenorrhoea that was responding only to opiods.
         
             I started have itchy, burning sensation in my vag about 2 days ago. do u think it's the duofem?

Dr. Balogun, thanks for holding forth for Dr. Kathy. On behalf of everyone I implore you to pls get in touch with her and find  out how she's doing. I trust God it is well with her. Pls let her know we miss her and wish her well.

In the meantime, kindly tell me what to do, my 6month old baby has suffered cattarh and cough for over 3weeks now. The cough is very strong overnight and at dawn.We've been to hospital 3 times and it hasn't improved. The boy has emaciated so much and am at my wits end. Am not seeing the effect of the drugs administered though I'v been advised to complete the dosage. Natural health experts advise against giving honey or lime to babies under one year or I'd have given as that's what I use for adult's cough. Pls advise. (Tomorrow I'll post the names of the drugs he's taken so far)Thanks

Ankeade, ovulation is the time of the month usually mid cycle when the egg is released from the ovary. Usually happens around day 14. You are meant to be most fertile around these days. You might have a sticky vaginal discharge at this time. Occasionally get some pain at this time (Mittelschmerz).
Fibroids are in part asymptomatic. Symptoms usually are heavy periods, pain. More common in black women

meta4, your wife has postural hypotension. She needs to take her time getting up from lying or sitting position. Simple blood pressure measurements in this positions will confirm that.

Dear Dr. Karthy,i hope all is well with you cos we haven't heard from you in a while. May the good lord continue to guide and protect us amen.
Dr Balo sometime ago i complained to Dr karthy that i was having pain beneath my boobs,and i suggested that it could be as a result in the increase in size of the breast, and she agreed it could be so cos the pain was just on the surface.Am beginning to doubt this analysis cos the pain is still there even wen av stopped wearing bra which i thought could be causing the pain,and my doctor says it could be the baby's bot om. wat do you think?

Hello Doctors in the house.
@Dr.Balogun> thanks so much for the reply. May the good Lord continue to bless and enrich you.
My question is this:
*Is it appropriate for a lady to have her menses for 5days?
*Why is it that my menses at times flunctuate i.e at times, I will see another menses at the end of the month of which am to start first week in the next month.
*When a lady notices that she has nt seen her menses for the past one month(am sure she should be pregnant). Now Dr. Balo, please, what advice can you give to such patient.

Once again, thanks so much.
Infact, I so much love this forum.

Thanks Doc, but there really was nothing new except his meal - introduced millet pap (some friends spoke highly of its nutritional value) and after one week the symptoms were noticed but am not too sure if that was the cause.

However, drugs given so far were:  Athesunate powder then Artemether (for fever) The latter was administered when symptom persisted after the former.

For cough and cattarh he took Broncholite (Bromhexine hydrochloride, throtal (brand of erythromycin) (all were prescribed by a doctor). Just wondering if all these are not too much for a 6month old. Personally I wish babies don't have to take drugs!!.  Thanks a lot.

It is very likely that you have a hormone imbalance. That is, your fertility hormones are not in the right proportions. Before one can jump into this conclusion however, it is pertinent to have a good gynecological and obstetric history from which should be followed by proper physical examination.  You can as well get simple herbal remedy for rejuvenating menstruation.
