i have a abnormal bad smell after a couple of hours after taking a bath. sometimes i have blood dots that looks like i'm going to periods?

Question

When i'm on my period, the blood that comes out is a dark red to a dark brown color and smells very bad. Is this normal?

Answer 1

Abnormal vaginal d/c: May have vagina infection. Follow up with doctor and check for chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, , ureoplasma, mycoplasma , strep. . Trichomonas and yeast usually cause itching as well

Answer 2

Yes: That's actually a great idea. Stem cells from cord blood can be used to treat a number of conditions in both the child and other family members, and the number of such uses is growing exponentially.

Answer 3

No: You should donate your baby's blood to help everyone, not waste your money by banking it only for yourself. Details: http://pediatricinsider.Wordpress.Com/2009/02/01/cord-blood-donate-it-don%e2%80%99t-bank-it/.

Answer 4

Yes: Tricky question, consult with your b ask about costs for maintenance and public free options you need to assess the chances that you will use that in the future.

Answer 5

No: There is no requirement that a parent should bank a baby's cord blood. Parents may choose to bank cord blood if they want to buy the "extra insurance", in that they will have cord blood available in the unlikely event that their baby needs a bone marrow transplant or their baby needs to use his own stem cells for some other reason.

Answer 6

Yes: There are several companies that will bank your baby's cord blood. The reasons are largely theoretical: there are stem cells in cord blood that - theoretically - can potentially be used treat diseases that your baby (or even you or other family members) may develop some day. There is an annual fee to store (frozen) the cord blood.

Answer 7

Talk to L&D at hosp.: Prospective parents who are wanting to bank their baby's cord blood have to do some planning. They have to select a cord blood bank ahead of time, so that company can send materials to the parents. Then the parents have to bring the materials to the hospital, and be sure that the obstetrician plus the labor & delivery staff all know that cord blood is to be collected.

Answer 8

Your OB: Talk to your OB prior to your child's birth to make plans to bank your baby's cord blood - they are usually the medical providers who have direct access to these specimens in the peri-partum period (around the time of birth).

Answer 9

Talk to nursery: Banking cord blood should be arranged before or at your admission to your birthing center. Asking for information from your ob, pediatrician, or birthing center.

Answer 10

Cord blood : You need to find out from either your OB or pediatrician about the companies that you can bank with.

Answer 11

Yes: It is safe to take a bath. Remember you balance can be off in pregnancy so take precautions not to slip and fall.

Answer 12

Yes: You should avoid hot tubs and jacuzzis in pregnancy because the heat can cause birth defects in the baby's back. It is usually okay to take a bath in your bathtub if the water is warm (body temperature or less.) your blood pressure may drop making you dizzy when you stand up however so be very careful when getting in and out of the bathtub.

Answer 13

No: Unfortunately, the red cross does not allow this blood to be donated even though there is nothing wrong with the blood. However, certain bacteria thrive on iron and that may be the red cross's rational.

Answer 14

Yes: There is no recognized universal prohibition on donation, but some blood banks will not accept blood from a person with hemochromatosis.

Answer 15

Yes: If you're healthy. Most blood banks will accept your blood donation. In fact, hemochromatosis donors are greatly appreciated. http://www.communitybloodservices.org/db_hhemochromatosis.php

Answer 16

Many: Cialis, viagra, levitra, (vardenafil) beta blockers (metoprolol), calcium channel blockers (verapamil, amlodipine), bystolic.

Answer 17

Yes: The clumps are normal. Each period is the lining your endometrium that is shedding so sometimes it can be in the form of larger clots or lumps.
