I took the contraceptive pill for 7 years and found out it increases the risk of cancer, is this true?

Q. Dear Mr Joe Daniels,I am 25 years old and Im a Romanian woman.
I took the contraceptive pill for about 7 years. Now I stopped because I read out on the pills instructions that increase the probabilities to have cancer. is this true?How can I find out if I m on and if my body is fine?I have a boyfriend and we are sexually active and we do not use any protection. I want to know from you what you suggest to use as protection that is secure and is not a risk for the health as I relied on the pill. Thank you for your time.,
 
A. Thank you for your question. It is difficult to recommend treatment in this instance, especially over the internet. It is definitely best that your doctor sits with you and explains, or you could always come and see us to discuss this and we can provide you with further advice. Please email us on info@gynecosmetics.com, take care for now.

I keep having allergic reactions to my medication, should I see my GP about this?

Filed under: Expert Answers,Gynecology,Mr Joe Daniels — Tags: — admin @ 3:12 am
Q. Hi
I had a successful endometrial ablation carried out last August for heavy bleeding after having removal of polyps and a mirena coil and cervical cauterisation that didn’t help. during the course of my treatment I had a severe ‘reaction’ after a couple of procedures and saw my GP a number of times. I had a lot of swelling and soreness around my vagina and inner labia and splitting of the skin between my vagina and anus (so much so that I had to hold a pad against my perineum to have a bowel movement because of the soreness and splitting). My GP tested for infections etc. a number of times and prescribed antibiotics, none of which helped and all tests were negative. This went on for a number of weeks and eventually she gave me a few tubes of canestan HC which calmed it down considerably. She said it was an allergic reaction to something used during the procedures. Therefore when I went back into hospital they identified that betadine had been used each time and marked on my notes that I am allergic to it. I have had no other procedures since then and as I am sensitive to soaps and products anyway, I only ever use E45 wash and bath oil (due to past eczema elsewhere on my body). However, this soreness and splitting keeps coming back, not as bad as it was originally but currently I have had to buy canestan HC and am very sore and swollen and very sore when I have a bowel movement, and I have spots of blood on the toilet tissue around the front and sides of my anus when I have a bowel movement and it feels very tight. I had my last child almost 20 years ago and I did have 3rd degree tearing so have a lot of scar tissue on my perineum which probably doesnt help and this does feel quite swollen. However, the tearing during bowel movements seems to be at the sides of the scar and more towards my anus than my vagina, although the soreness and redness covers the full inner labial region. I don’t know whether I should go back to my GP or just keep using canestan HC. What would you advise? Thank you,
 
A. I suggest to go back to your GP, to re-assess you for the possibility of Vulvodynia, although I appreciate there might have been a trigger. If all else fails, do contact us again, if you feel Botox injection may help you in this area – you may need two or three sessions a year or until the condition clears.

Hello. How much is the cost of the hymenoplasty operation

Filed under: Expert Answers,Gynecology,Mr Joe Daniels — admin @ 11:22 am
Q. Hello. How much is the cost of the hymenoplasty operation? Thank You.,
 
A. Thanks. It depends on where, and how it is done. We generally do three-layer reconstruction, and raise skin flap, if you do not have much hymen remaining or if you have thin hymen.
The cost is generally £1850 – £2250.

Hi, i would like to know if i need to do a surgery

Filed under: Expert Answers,Gynecology,Mr Joe Daniels — admin @ 11:17 am
Q. Hi, i would like to know if i need to do a surgery because i have cervical erosion. Will that affect me when i give birth to the baby in the future? Thank you!,
 
A. Thanks. If you are on thew pill, you may need to leave things alone or change the pill to a different one. If your erosion is not cauing any major problem, again you should leave it alone. Otherwise, you can have it treated – it does not affect your future pregnancy or birth, as long as it is done safely and you do not develop infection – you really shouldnt – if it is done by freezing – cervical cryotherapy

Q. I have a new partner.. She explained to me she worked as dancer for 8 eight years in Syria. Heavy periods were frequent and would visit doctor for injections to stop periods.. Now she has hemoraged 2 cycles and after 1 week of finishing her period she bled lots while we were having sex.. I thought this was vaginal fluids, and was shocked.. This is not normal?,
 
A. Thanks. Please do ask your partner to see her doctor urgently. Also has she had a recent cervical smear?
