i am on angeliq hormone pills for 5 weeks now. my breasts & nipples are swolen & very sore. any suggestions? is it true that a woman's chances getting breast cancer increases by 48% if her breasts are sore while using hormone pills?

Question

Breast cancer or hormone imbalance if your nipple is leaking something?

Answer 1

Angeliq ?'s: Angeliq is a low dose estrogen/progestin combination pill, and prolonged use can cause swollen breasts and sore nipples. Ask your gyn physician to change to another low dose oral bcp , and your symptoms may decrease. Sore breasts are the result of ingestion of hormones, but breast cancer is generally not thought to arise just due to low dose bcp use.

Answer 2

Yes: This is a class c drug so there are some possible effects on the fetus. However, if you are on this drug then not taking it while pregnant can cause more problems for the baby. You should never stop this class of medications without taking to you infectious disease doctor first. It is vitally important that you stay on your meds so that you stay healthy and the baby does not become infected.

Answer 3

Adverse rxn possible: When pregnant or breast feeding, why take a drug that has a 27% fatigue and malaise side effect incidence?

Answer 4

Yes: Having been in this situation, i can tell you that balancing out hormones in men is just as important as doing so for women. Men lose their sex drive, become Insulin resistant, lose their vitality. I'll post a page later that describes my own personal treatment success. I feel great at almost 52 years of age.

Answer 5

Very simular: Signs of decreasing testosterone levels include generalized fatigue, easier fatigueability, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, and decreased cognitive function. Testosterone product begins on average to decrease by 1 to 3% per annum from about age thirty. After appropiate labs, including a total and free testosterone, and psa, supplimentation can be very benefical

Answer 6

Maybe: With hormone replacement for menopausal women, we have both observational & randomized controlled trials (rcts). The former give us hypotheses while the latter demonstrate cause & effect. We have lots of observational studies suggesting higher testosterone is better (lower all-cause, cardiovascular & cancer mortality). Short-term rcts haven't teased out all risks & benefits yet.

Answer 7

Yes and No: Men do not usually go through complete hormonal shutdown like women do in menopause. While it is normal to decrease a little, especially in your free testosterone, some men have greater drops and need treatment.For more: www.Peedoc.Com @thepeedoc.

Answer 8

Yes, but...: Men have andropause, which is the male equivalent of menopause. Tthe reference range for testosterone is large, so many men who need testosterone are not being treated by their physicians. "normal" is not optimal. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, belly fat, high cholesterol, depression, low sex drive, ed, decreased mental sharpness, irritabile and/or anxious mood, etc.

Answer 9

Physical therapy: Working with a physical therapist to increase range of motion, strength and improve gait is generally recommended. Patients usually start with a walker and progress to a cane or no assistance with time. Early weight bearing is encouraged in most cases.

Answer 10

Hip Fracture PT: Generally exercises that work on walking and hip strengthening are what's needed.

Answer 11

Very safe: The media has made this seem like a controversial vaccine. The safety profile is very well studied and clear. The most common side effects are pain at the injection site & fainting in the first few min after injection. The "shell" of the vaccine is the same as the hep b vaccine which has been around for over 40 years. 70-80% will contract hpv over their lifetime.

Answer 12

VERY safe vaccines: As safe or safer profile than any other vaccine you give your kids. Nothing differed from placebo in initial studies of over 30, 000 men and women other than pain, edema, red an itching at injection site, and fever, nausea, headache and dizziness. That is it! most common 'severe' reaction is headache. 100 million doses distributed worldwide now with great safety data since release as well.

Answer 13

Safe: Studies show that when HPV vaccine is given to women who have never been exposed to the HPV virus, they were nearly completely protected against the HPV Genotypes 16 and 18 which are responsible for 80% of cervical cancers worldwide. The protection lasted up to 8.5 years. **Gardasil also protects against genital/anal warts and protects against cancers of the vagina,vulva,throat,tongue and anus.

Answer 14

Maybe: A blood pregnancy test would be a good idea, ? Bladder infection. Maybe your period is about to start.

Answer 15

HPT: Don't know how long your cycle is. Has it been at least 14 days since sexual intercourse. If you took pregnancy test right at time of missed period, consider another one. If has been at least a week or more since missed period is is most likely accurate.
