It is typically just light spotting- sometimes it continues for as long as you take the pills, sometimes it is just a temporary measure until your body gets used to them.

After having children the mucus discharge does thicken. The irregular bloody spotting with it probably means your system is a bit out of whack after having children and being off Depo. Talk to your OB/GYN and see if getting back on some kind of birth control will help regulate your periods again. If they continue to get worse though, they might consider a D&C or ablation. Stop using Depro though...it's now being related to bone disorders. Ask your dr. about the NuvaRing....it's easy to use and works very well. Regulated my periods immediately!

You should not have rectal bleeding- you may have developed a fistula which is odd- or something worse is going on= so get it checked out asap- Debby- rn bsn

Having anything go up your butt can feel akward.  As far as pain is concerned, its all about the skill of the doctor.  They will apply lubrication before proceeding.  I would advise you to express your concern to your physician.  Some physicians may offer a local minor anesthetic to numb the area before the procedure.  In retrospect I can guarantee this will be less painful than a colposcopy if you've ever needed to endure one.

Hello! A D&C is short for dilatation and curretage. What they do is insert metal probes into your cervix to dilate it and then once the cervix is open they curretage (or scrape out) the contents of your uterus. (Usually used when a fetus has not been expelled or to treat excessive or prolonged uterine bleeding)Here is what you can expect during your stay:\nPrior to surgery: \n1-Shower and possible enema\n2-surgical consent form\n3-cleansing of abdominal and perineal area, possible shaving of the perineal area\n4-You will probabably not be able to eat from midnight on the night before your surgery. \n5- You may have an IV started.\nAfter Surgery-\nYou will have bleeding and discomfort. Pain varies on how extensive your D&C was as well as your personal tolerance for pain. Most women do not experience severe pain.\n1-Use perinal pads (NOT TAMPONS) for two weeks. This prevents infection and allows tissues to heal.Also do not take baths until bleeding has stopped.\n2-Avoid sexual intercourse until post-op check-up is complete and doctor has cleared sexual activity.\n3- Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.\n4- You will bleed and may experience pain that feels like an intensified menstrual cramp.\n5- You may be tired for a few days. Take it easy and relax.\n6- You can use a pillow to splint your abdomen so you can cough and experience less pain.\n7- After surgery you will most likely be on a clear liquid diet and will gradually move to a regular diet. \n8- Your next menstrual cycle may be delayed and start later than usual.\nWithout being aware of what exactly they are performing a biopsy on I can only guess that it is a uterine growth of sorts. Many things can cause uterine growths. Biopsy results may take a long time to get back. I hope things work out for you and please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. Good luck! -Nykki

Hi! I think it's individual but usually it is not a hard bleeding. Few drops of blood that stop almost immediately (about 5 mins later). So don't worry. It's unconfortable but it's only for that 1st time. The next one u ll be just fine ;)

I believe this means that the cells from your cervix have shown some abnormal changes that that need to be further investigated.  This varies in severity, although nearly all abnormal smear tests 'go back to normal' by themselves without treatment. In the U.K, if you have an abnormal smear you wil be referred to hospital for a further investiagtion (a colposcopy) or you will be asked to attend another smear test in 6 months time. This is most common with 'borderline' (very minor) changes that are likely to correct themselves.  If you are referred to hospital after your first abnormal smear (or after the second) you will undergo a colposcopy.  This is where they stain your cervix with a solution to show up the abnormal cells better.  They then take a biopsy to be sent away which checks the severity of your abnormalities.  I believe that usually treatment is only offered once the results of the biopsy come back, but in the U.K you can be offered treatment at the colposcopy if the doctor thinks you are likely to require it.  This involves burning the abnormal cells with a laser (you get a local anaesthetic!).  I believe this treatment is almost 100% effective in removing abnormal cells and preventing their return.  \nIn all, abnormal smear tests are quite common and most will clear themselves, or even with the treatment do not pose much of a threat-in younger women especially to find cervical cancer is EXTREMELY rare, so don't worry.  \nI think that your abnormal cells are likely to have cleared/been treated before you get pregnant. If not, I'm quite sure that being pregnant and having abnormal cervical cells will not affect the baby but Im not sure if it is possible to carry out the treatment on a pregnant woman-so I'd check with your doctor just to be sure before you do get pregnant.\nBoth myself and my sister have have abnormal smears, she had a colposcopy done a fortnight ago and I have to get one next week-I also know many other young women who have had the same, so its more common than most people think!  \nI'm also sure your doctor/nurse would be able to offer you more advice but I hope this helps you a little! \nAll the best!

Don't worry about bleeding or any usually abnormal menstrual symptoms. It usually takes about 3 months for everything to become normal. If this continues to happen for more than 2 weeks or it doesn't lighten up, you need to call your doctor. Otherwise, don't panic.

If you have not had the depo shot, you may be experiencing a heavier and longer flow because you have a build up of debris in the lining of your uterus from past cycles that didn't clear everything out. You might need a D & C to clean it up and get everything going smoothly again. I have had periods that lasted for more than 3 weeks, than started again a week later. If having sex restarts your flow once it has stopped, you definitely need to see a doctor about this. Unless you have reason to believe you may have suffered a miscarriage, monday should be soon enough. You will not bleed to death, but you can become anemic to the point of needing a blood transfusion if you let this go on too long. There are also medications that will help dry up your flow but you must take them under a doctor's supervision. See your doctor soon.\n\nDefinitely talk to your mother about this. She will be able to reassure you that everything will be fine better than we can. So don't be shy. Just talk to her in your room or wherever you can be private and tell her what's going on. She will notice for herself soon anyway, so ease your mind and talk to her now.

i had 3 wisdom tooth extracted. Yes it is quite normal for it to bleed a little after one day especially if its from the lower jaw. Semi solid foods are good...if u like porriage or soft rice. I used to drink those complete nutrition drinks like Ensure or Resourse....it taste good and a can keeps u full for about 3-4 hours. And do try to lay off the ciggies for awhile...dont think the smoke make it heal any faster. Good oral hygiene is important too...rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash 3-4 times a day especially after meals

All female mammals bleed. You seem to be concerned about the amount of blood you lose. Unless there is something wrong, normal menstrual blood loss is minimal...on average less than a 1/4 cup total. Not all of the fluid you see in your pads/tampons are blood either...but mixed with the blood, it makes it look like more.

Bleeding after sex is not normal and she should be checked out by her doctor. Bleeding after sex can be due to many reasons including cervical dysplasia, chlamydia, gonorrhea, vaginitis or cervicitis, cervical polyps, trichomoniasis, yeast infection, endometriosis or adenomyosis, uterine polyps, and fibroids. Please have her see her doctor asap for an exam and testing, to determine what the exact cause may be.

Usually no blood after that long after a colonoscopy but, not unheard of. Also, the Dr. is right. Give it time. your body hasn't had time to build up pregnancy hormones yet. Give it a while. Also, another possibility is you are just a little late and having a little problem because of stress and you may not be pregnant either. Time will tell. If you are wanting a baby I hope you are . Good luck anyhow.

I had a similar experience last year.I would be bleeding very lightly for 6 weeks straight until I made an appointment to see a Gynecologist.After the initial visit and numerous test,I was diagnosed with PC OS. Your best bet is get checked.It could be anything from hormonal imbalance, cysts,stress,weight gain or loss or yet pregnancy.
