Question 1

can you tell me the main psychosocial factors that impact on mental health?

Accepted Answer

Stress-inducing: The " main psychosocial factors that impact on mental health" can vary greatly in terms of specifics, but in general, anything that causes excessive stress (thought beyond one's capacity to cope) can significantly impact mental health. Lack of education or social support, ; problems with relationships, family, finances, chronic illness, ; legal matters may all have an adverse mental health impact.

Question 2

what are 3 main factors that impact your physical health?

Accepted Answer

Homework queston: And a foolish one in my opinion. You need to know your instructor's prejudices. The scientific answer would be age, genetics, whether you have been injured, have adequate nutrition. Exercise actually matters too, as dies avoiding smoking and excess alcohol. Food choices matter much less and obesity is most serious as a marker for lack of exercise.

Question 3

what are some contraception methods for people with factor v lieden?

Accepted Answer

Non-hormone methods: People with abnormalities of factor v are at increased risk of blood clots in the veins.  For that reason we avoid birth control with estrogen in it (pills, patch, ring).  Some doctors also avoid Progesterone (mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, implanon, pills, Depo-Provera provera) although the evidence on that is not clear.  Barriers like condoms, cervical caps, and diaphragms are safe. So is the paragard iud.

Question 4

what are possible contraception methods for people with factor v lieden?

Accepted Answer

LARC methods: Estrogen containing contraceptives are contraindicated in women with FACTOR V LEIDEN DEFICIENCY.  However evidence supports the safe use of progestin only contraceptives - LNG IUD(Mirena (levonorgestrel) or Skyla), Implant (Nexplanon), DMPA, POPs, or the nonhormomal copper IUD (Paragard). Barrier methods are obviously safe but less effective.

Question 5

what are effective contraception methods for people with factor v lieden?

Accepted Answer

Some safe options: Progestins are felt to be better, to avoid the increased clotting risk from Estrogens in birth control pills. So: the mini-pill is usually considered safer, the iuds are very safe options, as are: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shots, and the Nexplanon rod.  Some oncologists are okay with using the nuvaring, b/c vaginal Estrogens don't affect the liver the way oral pills do, and get lower levels of estrogen in ur b.

Question 6

i am on sprintec (have only taken for two weeks) back up method failed and i took ella. i was told by pharmacist to keep taking sprintec as usual but ive read differently online. should i continue with sprintec as normal? will it impact effectivenes?

Accepted Answer

: Oral contraceptives work by changing your baseline hormone level. Since you are in the first month, this is the most critical time. Taking the Sprintec daily will allow you to achieve the new hormone level that will keep you from getting pregnant. Ella also contains hormones, but in one high dose delivery system. It will prevent you from getting pregnant this time, but you still need the sprintec.
