Why am I spotting mid-cycle?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 2:15 pm

You just had your period, so why are you bleeding again? Mid-cycle spotting can occur for a number of reasons, can be quite normal, and typically doesn’t mean that your choice in birth control pills has lost it’s effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.

If you are taking a low dose birth control pill it’s sometimes harder to stabilize the uterus, which can lead to spotting. Additionally, forgetting to take your pills, taking them late, or making changes to your diet can also be the culprit. The absorption of estrogen by your body can be affected due to changes in vitamin C intake, herbal supplemants, prescription drugs, and even certain eating habits.

How can I tell if it’s mid-cycle spotting?

An indication of mid-cycle spotting is when there is enough blood passed from the vagina to adequately spot your toilet paper. This spotting does not typically stain underwear and the mucus is usually pinkish, rusty brown or bright red in color.

Other causes of mid-cycle spotting

  • When the egg bursts through the follicle bleeding occurs and this blood shows up as spotting.
  • During the ovulation period, the estrogen level in the body rises and thus forces the uterus to shed a lining which shows up as spotting.
  • Vaginal or cervical infection.
  • Using an IUD as birth control.
  • Low thyroid functions.
  • Severe health problems such as cancer.
  • Uterine fibroids or polyps.

If you are concerned about spotting mid-cycle (length, heaviness, color etc.), do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider for answers.

What is scabies?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 10:48 am

Scabies is a skin condition that is spread mainly by prolonged direct skin-to-skin contact, such as touching a person who has scabies. It can affect people of any age, race, or sex, regardless of personal hygiene.

What are the symptoms?

Becauses the symptoms are often not visible, a person with scabies may not know they have the condition. However, when there are symptoms, they may include:

  • intense itching (usually at night)
  • small bumps or rashes that appear in dirty-looking, small curling lines, especially on the penis, between the fingers, on buttocks, breasts, wrists, and thighs, and around the belly button

It can take 2-6 weeks for the symptoms of scabies to develop. But if you’ve recently had scabies and get reinfected, you may be itching again within hours.

How do I know if I have scabies?

Self diagnosis can be difficult, so it’s best you see your doctor if you suspect you have scabies. He or she will most likely take a scraping from your skin and examine it with a microscope. Sometimes a biopsy, or skin sample, may be necessary.

Can scabies be treated?

The treatments commonly prescribed for scabies are Nix, Elimite, or Scabene. Read and follow the directions carefully. To avoid reinfection, treatment may have to be administered to everyone who came in close contact with you.

Thoroughly wash or dry clean all bedding, towels, and clothing that you have used. Vaccuuming all the floors in your house is recommended as well.

How to use Plan B

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 10:15 am

It is important to take Plan B as soon as you can after having unprotected sex. The sooner you take it, the better it will work. Plan B can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89% when taken exactly as directed.

Plan B is taken in two doses. The first pill should be taken within 72 hours, followed by the second pill 12 hours later. You may become nauseous and throw up after taking the first pill; taking an anti-nausea med an hour before your second pill can help with this. Do not take extra pills if you throw up after the second pill.

Plan B is not to be used as a regular method of birth control. It does not provide long-term protection against future pregnancy, it only works to prevent this one incident. It’s best to speak with your doctor to find the method of birth control that best suits your needs.

If your period doesn’t come within three weeks after taking Plan B, or you notice symptoms of pregnancy, call to book an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. You may also take a home pregnancy test. If it is positive, book an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options.
