HI Doctors,

 

I had my kids yaya xrayed and the result was:

 

"There are suspicious nodular opacity/ies in the right apex partially obscured by overlying osseous structures. No focal consolidation is identified. "

 

Can anybody explain? does this mean she has a respiratory problem like T.B.?

 

thanks

probably....pa ulit mo x-ray and tell the technician you want an apicolordotic view...then have a radiologist interpret it.

yes the high dose nordette disrupted her cycle. baka after 10-14 days pa yun magkaroon

 

Thank you male_spud. We also sought the help of an ob and we were told to just wait for her period to arrive. While waiting, strictly 'no contact' muna.

HAD HER XRAYED AGAIN AND THE RESUKT WAS: Ancillary study confirms the presence of nodulohazed opacities at the right lung apex for which kochs infection is considered. Clinical correlation is suggested. DOES THIS MEAN SHE HAS TB?

in the philippines, most doctors would consider her findings as TB unless proven otherwise.....is she under medication? if not better to start to her on meds.....you can go to the nearest health center of the DOH or DOTS center for sputum screening and possible free meds depending on their findings...or if you have the money...consult any physician for the proper meds and dosage

Good evening OB-GYNE Doctors,

 

I would like to ask if Nordette, taken as an ECP causes disruption on a woman's menstrual cycle. Below are the details:

 

• Date of 1st period: April 14
• Date of the previous 1st period: March 13
• We had contact and condom broke last April 28
• Took 4 tablets of Nordette (after 2 hours when condom broke) and took another 4 tablets after 13 hours
• She experienced Nausea and she was able to resist vomiting
• Took 1st HPT last May 15 and indicates "negative"
• Took 2nd HPT today and it indicates "invalid"
• Will take 3rd HPT tomorrow morning again...

Until now her period is delayed..Could she be pregnant or is it because of Nordette that made a disturbance on her cycle?

 

Need your opinion on this please.

 

Thank you in advance

 

 

when you guys had sexual intercourse and the condom broke, its was on the ovulation day (meaning that day [aka unsafe day] where the egg cell floats in her tubes to get ready to meet mr. right, aka Sperm) so there's a high probability that conception happened at that time however she took nordette which could cause a delay in menstrual cycle thus disrupt the natural contraception and nausea due to its hormone like properties so theres a high probability that she is NOT pregnant HOWEVER there are a few cases in which despite the pill intake pregnancy was positive even on a negative pregnancy test thus we cannot still rule out pregnancy. The only way to be sure if she indeed is pregnant is by ultrasound about 6-8 weeks post conception which is about two weeks after this post. Good luck!

There are a high no. of cases of TB here in the philippines and in most developing countries mostly affecting the low social groups because it is transmitted through air and most sa underdeveloped eh magkakasama sama yan sa bahay kaya hawaan lang plus weak mga immune system nila kasi kulang and pang daily needs nila

 

Her x-ray confirms she has TB however we have to correlate this clinically thus ask if she has had:

 

• cough for at least 2 weeks
• fever
• night sweats
• Diffculty in breathing
• coughing of blood

the cough above confirms she indeed has TB but for the other symptoms they must all manifest in her for us to say she indeed has TB if there are no symptoms as stated then she has a Latent TB infection meaning she could infect others and her immune system is containing the infection but not enough to overcome it. As long as ok ang immune system mo, hindi ka mahahawa ng TB but prolonged exposure eh nakakahawa

Thank Doc, noted on this.

She had her 3rd PT last may 22 and indicated negative. When we sought the help of an OB yesterday, she was asked to take Provera for 10 days. May I ask why this was prescribed to her? Tried searching the net and it says it induces mestruation. Is the info true?

Thank you in advance.

It's the female hormone Progesterone made into a tablet. Those hormones are needed so that the natural order of menstruation (estrogen release then progresterone, no conception = menstruation) would happen. So it seems like your partner lacks Progesterone (probably due to the intake of the high dose synthetic progesterone aka Nordette pills which inhibited further hormone release or other factors e.g stress) thus it was prescribed to her so that her body gets stimulated to produce progesterone. Thus after about 10-14 days expect voila menstruation.

 

Good luck!

Thank you very much Doc. Before her OB prescribed Provera, she was asked to do another HPT and still negative. This was her 4th test and consistent negative pa rin. I hope she gets her peiriod soon.

Thank you again Manilamen

hey romeo, since yaya yun ng kis mo, better check your kids if they have TB. mga matatanda (kagaya natin ) may have some immunity pero your kids might get primary complex. pa PPD test mo sila sa pedia mo.

 

p.s. patest mo plema/dura ng yaya kung may tb.

Hi Doc Manilamen,

 

She had her Ultrasound this morning and was confirmed negative for pregnancy. Around late afternoon she had her period already. Below are the findings form the OB Sonographer's report:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CC: oligomenorhea

LMP: April 14; brownish discharge

• Cervix - 2.6 x 3.1 x 2.6cm
• Endometrium - .82 cm
• Uterus - 4.6 x 3.9 x 4.4cm
• Right Ovary - 2.8 x 3.1 x 2.0 cm 12 Small Follicles
• Left Ovary - 3.1 x 2.1 x 1.7 cm 15 Small Follicles

TVS Show normal anteflexed uterus with no myometrial lesion. The endometrium measures .82cm hyperechoic and intact. Both ovaries contain multiple small follicles less than 1cm in diameter more than 12 in number suggestive of the polycystic changes. (+) minimal fluid in the cul-de-sac.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was asked to take Yaz pills for 6 months regulate her period and menstrual flow.

 

Thanks

Glad to help! your most certainly welcome!

Congratulations! you are now entitled to nights of good sleep and less financial burden and anxiety

Why do I feel that you seem so happy?

 

So ingat nalang next time ha! and since she's on pills for 6 months feel free to abuse >;D the stats on contraception of the pill is about 98%

 

Ultrasound is normal except for the polycystic changes. Dalawa course niyan its either it will disappear or remain and increase in number. The Yaz pills was given to also correct this as early as now coz consequences is mahirapan mabuntis yan in the future if the cysts persists. Have her take it regularly then follow up sa OB-gyne after.

 

 

In the meantime, celebrate na!!
