###Human: Is repetition of image popping into mind a symptom of OCD? ###Assistant: Hello. After analyzing your current complaint and taking into consideration your previous history, I am of the opinion that your current symptom is also a symptom of Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). An obsession is an automatic, repetitive, intrusive and senseless thought or image which pops into a person's mind. Your previous symptom of seeing images of kissing a guy was an obsession. A compulsion is an action that you cannot resist doing despite knowing that it is senseless and should not be done. Your current symptom is a compulsion. Obsessive compulsive disorder. 1. Cognitive behavior therapy. 2. Anti-OCD medications like Fluvoxamine or Clomipramine. For further details consult a psychiatrist online.---> |
###Human: Is it normal to have multiple migraines in a week? ###Assistant: Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms could be related to status migrainosus, which causes a temporary dysfunction of some brain regions related to persistent migraine attacks. For this reason I would recommend performing a brain MRI (which would be better compared to the CT scan) and some blood laboratory tests to investigate for possible causes which have triggered these frequent migraine attacks as follows: If a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) cannot be performed in a short period of time, a brain CT (computed tomography) scan would be an option in case of persistent migraine attacks.

###Human: I have neck and shoulder pain that go away when I lie down. Any suggestions? ###Assistant: Hello. Your young age makes arthritis (wear and tear) unlikely. And you did not mention any history of traumatic injuries to your neck. The issue seems to be postural as the pain appears after sitting up and resolves on lying down. It would be useful to check the Xrays to confirm there are no bony issues. You will then need to have your desk and chair adjusted to allow support for your neck. There are also some neck braces that you can use for added support. I hope you find this answer helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

###Human: Can you suggest ayurveda medicine for sinusitis? ###Assistant: Hello. Please Follow these advices: 1. Anu thailam - Ayurvedic nasal drop, apply 2 drops in each nostril before bed and at morning. 2. Nirgundi thailam - apply 10 drops on scalp, top of head and rub with fingers. This should be done at 6.30 AM. Then take bath after 7.30 AM in normal water. 3. Use dried turmeric stick - Take a dried turmeric stick. Show it on the fire in a candle. Once the turmeric stick gets burnt, then blow it to stop fire. Now you can see the smoke coming off from the turmeric. Show this below your nose and take deep breath, so that the turmeric smoke should enter into your nostrils. 3. Do Yoga - Start pranayama (breathing exercise) and yoga practice. These will give a permanent solution for your nasal block and sinusitis. For further information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> |
###Human: I have problem with erection after using penis extenders. Have I done irreversible damage? ###Assistant: Hello. I saw the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The penis looks almost normal. As you are able to masturbate, post-marriage, sexual activity will not be an issue (rather it is better). Aggressive stretching may have caused some damage but from your description, it appears it will not affect your married life. Feeling an orgasm is also dynamic. It may become better after marriage and is unrelated to stretching. Do not worry. If after marriage there is any issue, you can consult again at that time. For more information consult a urologist online --> |
###Human: My penis is not erecting properly. Please advice ayurvedic treatment. ###Assistant: Hi. Definitely, I would like to help you. It is good to hear that you are planning for marriage. Erection and hardness of penis mostly depend on your psychology. According to your thoughts, some hormonal activities occurs which leads to increase blood flow in penile blood cavity which causes hardness and erection. Stress, performance anxiety, injuries or other medical conditions may affect these functions. But do not worry it can be managed through ayurvedic medicines. The sebaceous cyst may not be harmful to you. But if it is irritating you then it needs surgical removal. Once you should check your blood sugar levels, lipid profile and testosterone levels. Take the following medicines to improve your concern: Rx, 1.Shatavaryadi Churna 3 gm twice a day with warm milk after meals. 2.Shilapravang 1 tablet twice a day with warm milk after meals. 3.Laghu Mushali paka 3 gm twice a day before food. You should follow some precautions too like: 1.Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. 2.Avoid smoking and drinking. 3.Quit masturbating. 4.Do regular Yoga and pranayama.

###Human: How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine? ###Assistant: Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

###Human: Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? ###Assistant: Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion. ###Assistant: Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> |
###Human: For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem? ###Assistant: Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> |
###Human: Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? ###Assistant: Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: Can fatty breast in male lead to breast cancer? ###Assistant: Hi. For further information consult a general practitioner online --> |
###Human: Can I-pill cause headache, irritation and body pain? ###Assistant: Hi. She has already bled twice this month and that means to say that she has already done with her periods, though before actual date. So, now she will not have her periods. Moreover, you said that the urine pregnancy test is negative and so there is nothing to worry about. Just wait for the next month periods. Do not hurry and take any further medications. She will be alright. One more thing I would like to suggest you. If you have intercourse within 10 days of periods, then you need not take emergency pills as it is the safe period where there are no chances of pregnancy.

###Human: My breasts are dry, itchy and painful. Please help. ###Assistant: Hi. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: I cannot read the fourth line on the eye test chart. Is my condition amblyopia ? ###Assistant: Hello. In order to answer you, I need little more details. If you noticed this all of a sudden, then I have to think of something like keratitis or severe dry eyes. But If you do not have any other problems like gritty eyes, red eye with blurred vision, an inflammation (like keratitis), is unlikely which is a kind of a swelling in your cornea. If you are a frequent computer user and mostly live in air-conditioned rooms, dry eye can be an issue. Then you feel a discomfort in your eyes as if you got sand in your eyes. If so, there is no harm in using a tear supplement like refresh tears. It will make you at ease. Next, if you have been using glasses before or you should have been using but you ignored it then there is a problem. There is a condition called amblyopia where if your eyes have a problem since childhood that is ignored the brain starts forgetting your eyes. If you start full correct glasses at a very young age hopefully before 10, then there is a chance of reversing but after 17 years it will not correct and it is not possible to do anything. At your age, we have to consider keratoconus where your cornea is getting weaker, making it protrude like a cone. Usually, there it is present as a frequent need to change spectacles. There we need to see a map in your cornea with its thickness which is called a topography. And further, we need to see the back of your eyes to see your retina and optic nerve. I suggest you consult an eye doctor not a family doctor to sort this out for you. You need to be physically checked with an instrument called a slit lamp with lenses and sometimes may need investigations. For more information consult an eye care ophthalmologist online --> |
###Human: My mom suffers with high BP and headache. Is there any heart related issue? ###Assistant: Hi. I want to assure you do not worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and can well understand your genuine health concerns. Coronary artery atherosclerosis but needs clinical correlation through physical examination and the following testing. 1. Fasting blood sugar levels. 2. HBA1c. 3. LFTs (liver function tests) and RFTs (renal function tests). 4. Fasting lipid profile. 5. ECG. 6. Exercise tolerance test. 7. Angiography. 8. Echocardiography. Her cardiologist may advise after careful monitoring and diagnostic tests. Make an appointment as soon as possible with her cardiologist. 1. Ask her to take nutritious food like green leafy vegetables and fruits like kiwi, avocado, banana and orange. Almonds and nuts are also good. 2. Give her Citrucel (Methylcellulose) dietary fiber supplement for good digestion and to control cholesterol. 3. Take 2-3 liters of water daily.

###Human: Why do I have sleep problems when not on melatonin supplements? ###Assistant: Hello. If you are suspecting something like sporadic familial insomnia, it is wise to see a neurologist with your specific complaints. This is because it is very difficult to diagnose on the basis of symptoms only. It needs investigations like genetic analysis and sleep studies to confirm. My advice would be to not get overly anxious but to see a neurologist and get investigated properly. Also, melatonin is completely natural and safe and if you were feeling so relieved with it, it is wise to continue it for now. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take it. For more information consult a sleep medicine physician online --> |

###Human: Why am I not interested in studies? ###Assistant: Hi, Welcome to the icliniq.com. I completely understand that you are feeling a lack of interest in studies and unable to focus on your studies. According to research, there can be various reasons behind the lack of interest in studies and low concentration. 1. It can be due to learning difficulties in children. 2. It can be due to negative past experiences such as having failures, something negative related to study environment or teachers or fellows or due to any other academics related factors. 3. There might be psychological causes behind your lack of interest, avoiding exams and getting affected by past memories. You need to specify your age, level of study and for how long you are experiencing these problems, both academic and emotional issues. You also need psychological assessment of the symptoms you mentioned as feeling something different in body, missing past experiences, getting emotional by watching particular scenes or listening songs. First of all you need a complete psychological assessment by a clinical psychologist. It will include testing related to your academic problems and psychological issues like lack of interest, avoid studying, negative past experiences and unusual sensations in the body. You will get a feedback of your assessment and then you will be better able to understand the reasons of your problem. On the basis of assessment results, your psychologist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan for your academic and emotional problems. Here, I am advising you a relaxation exercise. You can do it before starting your study. Relaxation exercise helps to improve concentration. It also relaxes your mind and body out of stress and problems. Do a relaxation exercise or deep breathing to calm yourself and focus. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a deep breath and focus on the air going in and out. Focus on your muscles from head to toe of your feet and relax every muscle. As your body gets completely relaxed, imagine something positive, watch yourself studying and enjoying the material you are reading or writing. After your necessary adjustments open your eyes. Do this exercise every day. I appreciate you consulted for your problems at initial stage. Do get your assessment done as soon as possible. Delay in the treatment or ignoring your symptoms may increase your problems. Revert back with answers to the above questions to a psychologist counsellor online.---> |

###Human: How to deal with teeth grinding that developed due to brain tumor? ###Assistant: Hello. Sorry to hear about your nephew. Due to the tumor for which he was operated, the cerebellum (small brain) was affected. Due to that, he has developed bruxism which is a rare complication. Unfortunately, there is no effective established recommended treatment. Some have tried different groups of drugs like short course of L-dopa, Bromocriptine, and Baclofen. Out of all these, Baclofen has the least side effects which can be tried. Baclofen can be given as 10 to 15 mg per day in two divided doses. Let me know if the bruxism is more during daytime or while sleeping. For more information consult a neuro surgeon online --> |
###Human: I have red patches on both legs with tingling. Are these early signs of DVT? ###Assistant: Hello. No, it is not an indication of DVT (deep vein thrombosis). The earliest symptom of DVT would be swelling, which is usually unilateral associated with pain. Rash may occur but in later stages and associated with swelling/pain, which may occur due to venous congestion. Also, I guess there are no risk factors for DVT like bedridden state, lower limb surgery, long haul flight, etc. So I do not think this is DVT. Now, why are you on Aspirin and other medications? Do you have any systemic disease which could explain these symptoms? Regarding possible causes, these are inflammatory skin rashes, which may be due to due to allergies, insect bites, viral infections, skin irritation due to clothes and more likely possibility is of drug-induced as you are on medications like Aspirin, etc. So try to correlate with the above-mentioned factors. I hope this helps. |

###Human: How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine? ###Assistant: Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

###Human: Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? ###Assistant: Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion. ###Assistant: Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.

###Human: For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem? ###Assistant: Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> |
###Human: Why do periods get delayed after first time sex? ###Assistant: Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: How can I control heavy bleeding during periods? ###Assistant: Hello. When was your previous period date? Did you check HPT (home pregnancy test)? If the flow is heavier, you can take tablet Trapic (Tranexamic acid) 500 mg 1-1-1 for three days. If not, reduce it by three days. Kindly consult a gynecologist in person. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
###Human: How to know if abortion was successful or not? ###Assistant: Hello. Medical abortion is available once a pregnancy is detected via ultrasound (usually around five weeks) up to nine weeks (63 days) gestation. The abortion is achieved using a combination of two medications which work together to terminate a pregnancy. If you feel it is incomplete abortion, I suggest you meet your doctor and get a scan done to confirm that the abortion is complete. If it is not complete, the doctor may advise you what to do next. If it is crossed nine weeks, he may plan a surgical method. Please consult your gynecologist at the earliest. He/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

###Human: Is it necessary to shave beard before a general anesthesia? ###Assistant: Hi. That is worth a concern for both for your anesthesiologist and you too. Let me elaborate it to you. General anesthesia involves making a person unconscious and making him totally relaxed by giving a medication called muscle relaxant. With unconsciousness and muscle relaxation, a person cannot breathe by himself under general anesthesia so he has to be administered oxygen with help of a bag and mask ventilation supplying positive airway pressure so that his lungs expand during controlled inspiration and relax during passive expiration. Hence this procedure requires a good mask fit on your face so that your anesthesiologist is able to ventilate your lungs with life-sustaining oxygen. Also as I read in your history you are weighing 97.52 kg with a BMI of 41.99. You are considerably overweight which means you would require more concentration of oxygen during general anesthesia. So an overweight patient with a bushy beard is always a challenge for an anesthesiologist. To achieve a good mask fit in such a patient is always difficult in order to provide oxygen and other inhalational anesthetic agents effectively. So, it is not that hygiene is a concern but it is a safe administration of general anesthesia a major concern in your case. I would suggest, consult your anesthesiologist for a spinal anesthesia which involves anesthetizing lower half of your body in which bladder tumor surgery can be performed. This would avoid general anesthesia and would also save your beard. For more information consult an anesthesiologist online --> |
###Human: How can I manage itchy penis? ###Assistant: Hello Relax and do not worry. You may be suffering from a urine infection. So, if possible, I suggest you get urine routine, culture and sensitivity report. The above test will diagnose urine infection, if present. Meanwhile, you should drink plenty of fluids, take syrup Cital (Disodium hydrogen citrate) 10 ml in a glass of water three times a day for two weeks and tablet Flavospas (Flavoxate) one tablet in morning and evening for two weeks. The above medication will reduce your itching. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medications with their consent. For more information consult a urologist online --> |

I assume that you are having good life with current medicines baring anxiety attacks. The possible reason for your anxiety attacks are: Current medication- Can you outline the onset of anxiety attacks after starting one or another medication that you are taking currently. Part of schizophrenic illness - If you have these attacks irrespective of medication status that it is likely that these are the part of your schizophrenic illness. Withdrawal effect of one or another drug- If you are inconsistent in taking your medicine then this reason is a strong possibility. The duration of anxiety attacks is one of the strong factor that determines the diagnosis. Before we proceed for medication or treatment of these attacks you are requested to post more information about it. You can also book for an online phone or video chat consultation, so the problem can be evaluated in detail. Please provide the following details: At this moment my advice is to shift the aripiprazole to morning time and continue the rest of the medicines.

###Human: Please suggest some treatment for abscesses, which look like an insect bite. ###Assistant: Hi. It would not be an insect bite unless it appeared overnight.

I would suggest you the following medications. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent. Follow the above medicines only if you do not have any other diseases, and not on any other medications. As some people are allergic to Amoxicillin, in such a case stop the use of the medicine and consult a doctor. Applying ice and washing the area with ordinary soap and water will help with the pain. For the pus discharging site, cover it with a disposable dressing like Primapore adhesive dressing. Also, get your fasting blood sugar level checked.

###Human: Is it safe to take oral contraceptive pill? ###Assistant: Hi. Combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) is absolutely safe for her. It does not cause cancer (low dose COCP). Just check the content of COCP which she is taking. If dose of Estrogen (Ethinyl estradiol) is 20 or 30 mcg, she can safely continue the medicine. In fact, COCP in such a case prevents endometrial cancer due to its progesterone content. Regarding missed period, it normally does not happen with COCP. Normally period starts between 3 and 15 days of stopping the last tablet in the pack. If it has been more than 15 days since last tablet, consult a gynecologist. If it has been less than 15 days, she can wait till 15 days from last pill for periods to come. In any case, she cannot start next pack without having periods unless instructed by doctor after examination. Do not forget to tell her to use another form of contraception like condom if she is sexually active. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> |
