Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment So that Recurrance is Prevented.

Many women don't realize the health significance of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). BV may only be an annoying discharge or odor, but BV can develop into more serious conditions. BV can cause PID which can lead to infertility or chronic pelvic pain, Preterm birth, low birth weight in pregnancy and make other STDs easier to catch. It is not an infection to self diagnose, but come in to get an accurate diagnosis.
Effective treatment is important for BV often will subside and return if not completely eradicated.
When BV recurs and recurs and gets to be frustrating! Often it's a bacterial infection, and then a subsequent yeast infection. And women are left figuring out whether they should simultaneously treat for yeast. there is a new options: treat with standard antibiotic therapy, which is usually metronidazole, and do remember adjust your diet, especially add in probiotics to prevent yeast from colonizing in your colon that can be a source of yeast infection. By taking in probiotics the natural, healthy, bacteria Lactobacillus, increases in numbers which is the ultimate way to normalize the health of the vagina and, in a study reported in BMC conducted by a group of researchers lead by PB Heczko, lengthen out the time until there is a recurrence.
Treatment failures are also common because women don't complete their treatment. It's important for women to do so. Over 21 million American women have had BV and almost half don't complete treatment. So it's important to see your gynecologist for effective therapy. This is what a new public campaign about BV is all about. Patient's can find information on BV here. .

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously. It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
