Question 1

i took plan b 10 times and i have been experiencing involuntary muscle spasms every part of my body. could this be caused by hormonal imbalance?

Accepted Answer

Too much plan B: Plan b is an excellent form of emergency contraception but it should not be used routinely.  If you have used Plan B 10 times you need to be on another form of contraception.  After you not tsken Plan B for some time i would see if your symptoms go away.  If not, or if your symptoms get worse, you should look for other causes.

Question 2

ever since i took plan b two months ago i have been severely bloated, is it a hormonal imbalance? i eat healthy, haven't gained weight, & not preg.

Accepted Answer

Bloating: Plan B is not the cause of this - the plan B that you took 2 months ago was out of your system almost as quickly as you took it - it only lasts a couple days. It sounds like you have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. If you haven't, you should definitely take one. Otherwise you may want to see your PCP, because these symptoms are not related to Plan B.

Question 3

how long after taking plan b can it cause hormonal imbalance? got period 9 days ago, (on time, )but having other effects; breasts tender & bloating...

Accepted Answer

Not plan b : The effects of plan n  the only last for a day or two. Symptoms you are having at this time would not be related to that. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy.

Question 4

i took plan b about 3 months ago. i did a blood test today to see if i have hormonal imbalance/pcos. my results (some of them) came back and for tsn, bld, qn it was 5.18 is it possible that the plan b can effect blood tests 3 months later?

Accepted Answer

: I doubt that a plan B pill could affect your hormonal profile after 3 months.

Question 5

it's been over a month that i have taken plan b, and i'm not pregnant. could the hormone imbalance make my nipples sore still?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Because you are probably mid cycle and ovulating.

Question 6

is hormonal imbalance the cause of back acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Nobody is completely sure what causes acne. Experts believe the primary cause is a rise in androgen levels - androgen is a type of hormone. Androgen levels rise when a human becomes an adolescent. Rising androgen levels make the oil glands under your skin grow; the enlarged gland produces more oil. Excessive sebum can break down cellular walls in your pores, causing bacteria to grow.

Question 7

which herbs can treat the hormonal imbalance that causes acne?

Accepted Answer

Gugulipid: Gugulipid is one herb with documented literature in the indian journal of dermatology to help acne. It does not work on the hormones. It's effect is on the oil glands.

Question 8

for acne that is caused by hormonal imbalance. how do you correct the underlying cause?

Accepted Answer

Birth  control pills: If the acne is caused by hormone imbalance, the first thing to do is make sure there are no hormonal issues such as thyroid problems that need to be corrected first. Usually, the first line is use birth control pills and add other drugs to block testosterone if the problem is not improved.

Question 9

what is the best way to treat acne caused by hormonal imbalance? can it be cured totally?

Accepted Answer

: The best care would be obtained by collaboration between your gynecologist and dermatologist. Since your face is involved a dermatologist has to be involved in your treatment for best results.

Question 10
