Question 1

i had an irregular period two weeks ago where i just spotted lightly for 4 days. two days ago i started having brown spotting. could this be implantat?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It sounds as if you're having an anovulatory cycle. One in which your ovary fails to release an egg. This can happen with your method of contraception.

Question 2

do implanted contacts last forever?

Accepted Answer

No: But they will last longer than you do.

Question 3

how many stents can be safely implanted in an individual?

Accepted Answer

No distinct limit: Although there is no limit to the absolute number of stents which can be implanted, in some people, the degree of obstructive disease in many vessels may result in the need for bypass surgery rather than more stenting.  I have seen people who have had almost all of one of their vessels stented (a "full metal jacket",  to use some interventionalist slang).

Question 4

what is the purpose of getting the sprint pns devise? after it is implanted & removed in 2 months,whatt happens? after wearing it for 2 months, is the pain gone forever? how good is this devise?

Accepted Answer

: This is for treatment of pain in a particular area. It should work for quite a while- if removed nothing happens except the pain might return. Will the pain go away forever depends on what is causing it. The device is very effective if placed and used properly. Hope you do well

Question 5

what is an implanted egg?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: It is either an egg which has been fertilized by meeting a sperm and then embedding itself in the wall of the uterus, or an egg which has been harvested, artificially fertilized and then implanted back into the uterus.

Question 6

what are implanted catheters?

Accepted Answer

Under the skin IV's: Unfortunately, cancer treatment requires drawing many blood tests, giving fluids and chemotherapy and at times giving antibiotics by vein. If your regular veins were used, they would quickly wear out or worse, toxic drugs could leak out into the skin around them. Placing a thin tube (catheter) under the skin that leads to a large vein simplifies this process. There are different types of catheters.

Question 7

do lens implants last forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The implants are made of material which does not elicit an inflammatory reaction and is not attacked by the immune system.  They will last longer than you will.  That is not to say other problems can occur in the eye, such as macular degeneration or glaucoma, for example, which can effect the vision.

Question 8

is a late implantater embryo not healthy?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Embryos that implant late are more likely to miscarry. That does not mean all late implantations will be abnormal.

Question 9

how often does breats implants have to changed?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This isn't as straight forward as you would think.  The implant companies rate the implants to last 10-15 years.  That doesn't mean that you will have to replace the implant or will have problems after 10 years.  As long as the implant is soft, in good position, and you are happy with the appearance and not having discomfort, or abnormal mammograms you should be fine.  Check with your surgeon.

Question 10

is there an icd that does not need to be implanted?

Accepted Answer

Ocp,shot,patch,ring: If you are looking for a non implantable contraceptive, try a pill, ring, patch , injectable or barrier contraceptive. See a provider for a discussion.
