I went to a gynecologist and he wrote: external genitala multipara, although I have given birt to just 1 child. What medical signs on my external genital made him think that I had more than 1 child?

Asked by Ann over 10 years ago

I can only infer that he actually meant to say "parous" rather than multipara. There is no reliable visible external cue to determine whether a woman has had more than one baby, although there may be subjective signs that a woman has delivered at least one baby vaginally.

I have about 4 or 5 small bumps on my groin area that arent growing close together and I can't tell if they are warts or skin tags. I had a pap smear 7 months ago and have had no new partners, I also think I've already been vaccinated for HPV.

Hello,
I just received my results from my Follicle Stimulating Hormone test. My doctor hasn't called me back to discuss it yet so in the mean time I was wondering if anyone could help me read what this means. I had a partial hysterectomy 2 years ago and still have my ovaries. Thanks
FSH 17.34
Mid Follicular-3.85-8.78
MidCycle-4.54-22.51
Mid Luteal-1.19-5.12
Postmenopausal- 16.74-113.59

These results depend on what type of symptoms you are having. If you are having hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness, it could mean that you are menopausal and your ovaries are no longer functioning at the level they were when you were premenopausal. If you are not having those symptoms, it could mean that you were near your ovulation time when the bloodwork was drawn. It is difficult to interpret the results without a clinical history. You should discuss it further with your physician.

Asked by jen over 11 years ago

The answer depends on how your due date was calculated. If it was based on an early ultrasound, then the dating is accurate up to +/- 5 days. With irregular periods and PCOS, timing of ovulation can be erratic, but will typically still fall within the 5 day window of ultrasound dating.

Is it true that Progesterone 8dpo should be 15 or higher in order to sustain a pregnancy?

Asked by Toni about 11 years ago

There is no exact cutoff for progesterone in pregnancy, but in general, I look for a number >15. We do sometimes treat patients with a history of recurrent miscarriages or infertility with progesterone if their levels are below this level.

A friend of mine is about 20-22 weeks pregnant. This is just an estimate because she’s yet to see a doctor. She hasn’t seen a doctor yet because she was taking subutex through the first handful of months of this pregnancy. She’s been trying to quit (without a doctor’s supervision) and is 8 days completely clean. Her fear now is that if she goes to the doctor they’ll put her back on the subutex to get her in a program to wean down properly and she doesn’t want to go through that again. My question is would a doctor force a patient back onto a medication when they’re already a week into the withdrawal? In my mind that seems crazy because she’s already past the worst of it and she might as well continue at this point. I’m so worried about the baby because she has received no medical treatment at all, they haven’t even had an ultrasound yet. Please tell me I’m right and that she won’t be forced into a treatment for the subutex?

I'm pregnant with a due date of 6-9-16. I had sex on 8-24-15 and again with another partner on 9-17-15. I'm confused because counting back 40 weeks from the due date lands on 9-3-15. Can you explain who is the father and why?

Asked by Sarah over 10 years ago

The due date is calculated 40 weeks after your last menstrual period, so the time of conception is approximately 14 days after that date, depending on your cycles.
