  • Expired prescription pills?

    I have some mature UTI prescription pills from last year (yes finishing year). I had save some in baggage future UTI's pop up. Well, I own another UTI and i was going to use those pills, but they expired within 2006. Is this safe?


    Answers: No I would not risk the arbitrary of this. I am a certified pharmacy tech and the pharmacy I work at only recomends that you maintain a medication for a year. If the medication is what I think it is, you might in actuality get some desperate side effects and the medication can even make your problem worse. Its better to be risk-free then sorry. I would beckon my dr and get a clean script.
    I wouldn't - they must hold a use by date on for a reason!
    Go to GP and attain a new prescription.
    No
    NO

    Return to your local pharmacy as soon as possible
    Probably not as significant as they were when they be prescribed.

    In my opinion you should other use all your antibiotics, even after you be aware of better and the symptoms have gone away, because if you stop taking them too precipitate you can build up a resistance to them in the adjectives. Also, you should probably have a doctor diagnose this present infection and pass you a new Rx.

    Take nurture.
    They may be "Safe" to ingest, the problem might be in their usefulness. Saving old pills have + and -. but in the long run, better to use fresh drugs to assure maximum effect for the intended purpose.

    One other point - end year can be from 11 to 22 months ago. Is the pills are on the long end of this clamber - likely they will not be as impressive as fresh medicine.
    I ruminate they are safe. but when you appropriate only a partial prescription it will engender your germs( for lack of a better word) stronger consequently making the same prescription smaller quantity potent and your UTI worse.
    also if you do take merely 3 days worth and you have to run to the DR again( and you WILL) the pills you took will mask the potency of your germ and the Dr will merely prescribe the same point... which by now will be ineffective and you will receive ever WORSE.
    Just call your Dr. detail him its back.
    sorry you don't grain so great but no... don't take them :)
    the pills you enjoy will most likely not strong plenty to cure your uti, after the expiry date has former the drug continues to lose it's stregnth. Esp, antibiotics. Go see a doctor and if you hav already taken these expired meds, make sure to bring up to date this to the doc as it may change the bactiria level in you urine, and may provide you a false negative. Also possibly if you have have a few utis your doctor may give you a repeat perscription, so subsequent time all you enjoy to do is fill it, instead of going to see the doc, close to mine does for me.

  • I enjoy an odor downstairs....What could it be from?




    Answers: It is really important for women to certify their own scent so they know what is normal for them and can spot any change(s) in their bodies (similar to doing breast self-exams). Perhaps you may perceive that your everyday vaginal scent is a problem -- but it may just be your common scent.

    Vaginal odor can be caused by several factor. The most common basis is vaginal bacterial overgrowth known as bacterial vaginosis, which have a "fishy" or "musty" smell. "Fishy" smells can also result from vaginal infections, such as trichomonas vaginalis, and, in some women, from semen within the vagina. The vagina could also smell "yeasty" because of vaginal yeast overgrowths.


    Synthetic underwear, pantyhose, tights, and Spandex exercise clothes do not allow air to circulate around the vulva (the outer orifice of the vagina). A moist environment promotes overgrowths of normal skin microbes that could cause vaginal odor.

    A physical exam by a strength care provider can determine whether or not the odor is individual caused by something that is to say treatable with a medication, such as for bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas, and yeast. In these cases, the unpleasant smell usually go away after the treatment. The physical exam can also detect other health problems that might rationale unusual body odors.
    You should be a little more descriptive if you want an answer that can aid you.
    I know its difficult to talk nearly that kind of things but if you provide a bit more details it will be easier for us to help, and so you will be capable of "get rid" of your problem ASAP :)
    Have a nice time :)

  • Why do some girls enjoy moustaches?

    this IS a wierd question but i know so oodles girls who have moustaches they bleach or wax... if u hold one what do you do with urs... no offense to anyone... i know it might own to do with hormonal lack of correspondence but what would u do...


    Answers: if you have facial curls - wax it off. Hormone contained by balances create unwanted pelt. Do not shave it will cause stubble. When wax off, it is pulled out by it's roots cause it to grow slowly, therefore: you do not hold to wax as often.
    too much testosterone..it happen

    The best way is to bleach it,wax it or use a depilatory.
    Well i don't enjoy any mustache whatsoever.
    I guess girls think if they shave it , it might show
    yes sometimes it's hormonal but you can still bring rid of it forever.
    it does cost a lot of money
    or you can acquire treatment.(makeup is not one of them!)

    can you get a mustache if you rub your upper lip constantly? no and it's proven although in attendance is still rumors about it. if you wax it it will become red and will hurt for a couple of days. it's only how it is... some girls get little some girls find alot.
    Testosterone grows facial hair.
    if they own a little connotation of testosterone, they will get one.
    If they lose their estrogen and gain a big testosterone dose, they will look resembling Super Mario. Mama Mia!
    Sometimes it is because of your ethnic heritage.
    I used to have peach fuzz,
    afterwards I had a motorcycle wreck
    and a bunch of complications.
    All my coat fell out,
    ALL over my body.
    The hair on my come first was the lone hair,
    that returned.
    I no longer hold to worry
    almost the peach fuzz
    or
    any other fuzz.
    Sometimes hormones, like testosterone, play a role. However, inheritance have their element, too. If a woman is of Mediterranean descent, like Greek or Italian, she will enjoy darker hackle on her arms and legs and a fuller, darker mustache. I own a friend who's ancestors are Greek, and she shaves her legs and under her arms every afternoon. Also, she waxes her mustache nouns every ten days. As a kid she hated it but in a minute it doesn't bother her.

  • For anyone who have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) or have a pelvic ultrasound?

    I had my blood work done second week and today I have an appointment for a pelvic ultrasound to look for cysts on my ovaries. What should I expect as I own never had an ultrasound up to that time? Is it like an x-ray where on earth they have to study the imagery for a week or will they know something as soon as they see it? Just curious. I'm tired of waitng and I want to know if I have PCOS.


    Answers: A pelvic ultrasound visualize the uterus, the thickness of the endometrial facing of the uterus and both ovaries. There are two ways to do a pelvic ultrasound.....transabdominally or transvaginally.

    For a transabdominal u/s, you must have a full bladder to visualize the feminine reproductive system. The full bladder provides a window for the nouns waves, lift the uterus out of the bony pelvis structures and pushes the bowel up and away from the uterus, as u/s cannot visualize anything through air (the intestines contain air). The ultrasound technologist places some gel on the skin right above your bladder and uses a camera (the transducer) to take images.

    For a transvaginal u/s, the urinary bladder must be pointless. A small wand (transducer) is covered with a condom and inserted into the vagina surrounded by order to return with images. It is usually simply mildly uncomfortable (think of your pelvic exams next to your OB/GYN).

    Most facilities will hold you show up to your appointment with a full bladder first. If your uterus and ovaries are not see well, for a choice of reasons, they will verbs on to a transvaginal scan. Some facilities other do both transabdominal and transvaginal scans on every pelvic study they do.

    You should never hold just a transvaginal study. If you have a mass up higher within the pelvis, it could easily be missed on a transvaginal scan. The transvaginal transducers enjoy a limited breadth of distance, so something distant to the cervix could be missed.

    Each of the scans bear about 15 minutes. The ultrasound technologist puts the imagery on film or a computer disk for the radiologist. He studies the similes and makes a report, which is afterwards typed up and sent to your referring doctor. Every facility I have worked at have a turn around time of about 24-48 hours on their reports.
    Most promising they will perform a vaginal ultrasound, and they will inform you of the results right in attendance. The radiologist may tell you to hang about for more definitive results from your OB/GYN but generally they will inform you in that.

    What to expect:
    They will insert a device called a transducer (a small hand-held device that resembles a microphone), into the vaginal nouns and they will be able to thieve images of the ovaries.

    Nothing to the creeps, it is a little mortified, but no pain. I be diagnosed with PCOS 7 years ago and hold had going on for 7-8 vaginal ultrasounds.
    It dosent take that long to know the results, they usually transport them 2 your OB/GYN. Usually when they are looking for a cyst they do both. Hope everything goes resourcefully (=

  • Ok, super embarrasing interrogate: I am 45 and enjoy pretty much other be on the dot beside my period, but?

    the past year or so, they hold been coming nearly 3 to 7 days early. NEVER behind. I am 3 days late this month and am wondering if it is at adjectives possible that I have enter menopause officially (versus the perimenapausal symptoms that I've be experiencing) and have stopped have them altogether?

    I realize that nobody knows for sure if to be exact the case near me, but more specifically, i guess my question is when a woman stops have her period, is it abrubt or does it slowly taper bad? Thanks!


    Answers: There is no "rule" for how a woman enters menopause. My mom's period just stopped one month at age 51 and she never have another one. I, at age 51, on the other hand, am have erratic ones, late, precipitate, light, stout. Gotta love that womanhood!!
    Ohhhh wow, scary isn't it? Leads to adjectives kinds of question! Being the same age as you, in fact just turned 46, I too wonder something like 'the change'...for me tho, my periods hold never been reliable...I own never been on BC, never be preggers. Best answer I can give you is ask your Dr. and if ya don't hold one, check w/ a womans clinic.
    As I understand it, and the women I hold talked to, Mom, Aunts and friends..it taper, and then after it just stops...And if you are within a relationship, that can make you wonder if you are pregnant.
    Good luck, sorry I know it doesn't really back.
    It could be, then again your body purely may be getting out of whack a bit. My mom thought that she had begin going through the chance because adjectives of a sudden her periods get SUPER heavy (she even completed up in the ER because it be that bad). She'd have a really awful month, after she wouldn't get one for a couple months at a time. The doc run some tests and said she isn't anywhere implicit menopause yet. Why not ask your gyno and conceivably she'll run the same theory test and will be able to speak about you where you are.

    Good luck!
    It slowly taper off. I would still using controceptives (condoms/birth control) until you are free of period for 1 year, because you can still get pregnant. It usually take about 5 years from the start of symptoms to the terminate. Talk to your OB/GYN about this and he might put you on HRT.

    Good Luck!
    Normally when woman stir threw Menopause their periods become irregular starting impulsive starting later, heavier or lighter period, periods remaining longer than normal. They do not consider you to be contained by menopause until your periods enjoy stopped for at least 6 months consecutively. You are if truth be told still going threw the change and it can thieve several years. There are some woman who just stop brief (which all choice at this age would just happen) But for the most chunk we all own to threw the cycle change until that time complete cessation of menses.
