iud mirena 3yrs.had a period for 4 days last 2 days were brown blood.the next passed a blood clot.then had light red spotting.had intercourse my partner said something hurt the head of his penis went to pee and light red blood when i wiped..and answers?

Question

I have the mirena (levonorgestrel). I still have irregular periods. Some with huge blood clots, other times just spotting. Is my body rejecting the mirena (levonorgestrel)/?

Answer 1

Exam: It is possible that your IUD has shifted but an exam would be necessary in order to know for sure and would be an opportunity to look for other causes if this isn't the reason you are having the bleeding and your partner had pain in his penis with intercourse. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

No: No, for example ace inhibitors can both raise potassium and lower blood pressure.

Answer 3

No: In fact the reverse may be true. You need to reduce your sodium intake to lower blood pressure.

Answer 4

Yes, and no.: Sodium and potassium are both positive elements that when combined with negative chloride molecules make salts that are both important parts of serum, and potassium in particular an important element in red blood cells (nb: sea water is very similar in composition to our blood). Abnormalities of potassium (hypo or hyperkalemia) or sodium (hypo/hypernatremia) are very distinct entities.

Answer 5

Absolutely: All the minerals and ions in the body are in correlation and balance. For every positive element you have to have a negative. Na and k move across the cell membrane with correlation to cl and bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate).

Answer 6

Many possibilities: You cold have a simple viral infection. You could have a sifnificant bacterial infection, you could have a rare fungal infection. Generally the lymph nodes in the neck will swell with viral and bacterial infections. You describe a classic viral infection. Strep throat is not usually associated with runny nose. If there is fever, difficulty swallowing or you believe you are too ill, see pcp.

Answer 7

Upper respiratory: This may be a banal viral upper respiratory infection. Usually it starts subsiding within 2-3 days. If it persists, especially fever, you want to see a doctor. If you have any risk factors for a more serious disease (unusual sex practices, use of i/v drugs etc.) you may want to have these symptoms checked out by a physician promptly.

Answer 8

You are sick: Sorry to be blunt, it sounds like you have a bad viral infection, flu or cold. It is also possible you could have tonsillitis or pharyngitis leading to swelling of your lymph nodes.

Answer 9

No smoking: Oral contraceptives can be associated with blood clots in the lungs (dvts) or lungs (pulmonary embolisms) and one of the bigger risk factors is smoking, especially over the age of 35. I am not aware of studies that show Aspirin (asa) decreases the risk of blood clots while on oral contraceptives.

Answer 10

No: The clots caused by the estogen in oral contraceptives occur in the veins. Baby Aspirin does not prevent clots in the veins. It prevents clots in the arteries. Oral contraceptives are safer than driving your car and having a baby. If you want to lower your risk try an estrogen-free form of birth control like the minipill or iud.

Answer 11

OC & Clots: If your wife has close family members with history of thrombosis, stroke or pulmonary embolism, testing for blood clotting disorders [thrombophilia] could indicate increased risk for a blood clot.

Answer 12

No: The pill is associated with a very small increase in venous blood clots, far less risk than when pregnant. Aspirin reduces arterial clots like those causing a heart attack, not ones in veins. Smoking raises risk for both.

Answer 13

NO,There is a : Potential interaction between Prozac (fluoxetine) and ultram .There is a risk of developing serotonin syndrome when the two medications are taken together. Serotonin syndrome can be serious and even life threatening. It is the result of high levels of serotonin in the body. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by having at least three of these listed symptoms: tremor, shivering, agitation, diaphoresis fever.

Answer 14

Unlikely: No evidence i know of that and there are significant interactions. Though interactions are the same there is evidence that Cymbalta (duloxetine) may help with chronic pain. Talk to your doctor about all the medications you are on and he/she can help you weigh the benefit vs risk of such combinations.

Answer 15

Maybe the wrong cate: Often, antidepressants of a certain class can be used in combination with opioids for neuropathic pain. The class includes drugs like cmybalta. Check with your physician

Answer 16

See below: Depression worsens the experience of pain. Prozac (fluoxetine) reduces depression and ultram reduces pain. However, there are better options if the goal is to treat depression and especially neuropathic pain as the other answers suggest.

Answer 17

Both up serotonin: There is a precaution about using both as it could lead to a serotonin syndrome--your question is interesting both raise serotonin--do you think they r helping?
