hello Doctor i have a question about primoult which is inscribed by my doctor so as it can regulate my period and then ovamit to have an ovulated eggs as i can later be pregant as i wish to be for the last 8 months after stopping depo-provera drugs which i constantly took for 2 years? | hi dear. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First of all do not panic.You can get baseline USG done to know about your uterus and ovaries. You need to rule out PCOS as a cause for your irregular periods.Secondly, HSG- hysterosalpingography, an x ray test to know about the patency of your fallopian tubes.And your partner's semen analysis, to know about the quality and quantity of the sperms. You can use ovulation induction medicines and get follicle study done from day 10 of the cycle,to know about the day of egg formation. You can plan unprotected sex activity on and around the day of ovulation or can plan IUI - Intrauterine insemination on that day. I will suggest you to use natural progesterone pills,instead of primolut, for 10 days after ovulation.You can very well start planning for pregnancy,as you have stopped using contraceptive injection.please start with Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements, this helps to prevent various complications during pregnancy and delivery.I hope this answer helps you.thanksDr. Purushottam Neurgankar |
hellooo my first iui failed this month i become very sad and took a break form treatment after discussing with my doctor.He said i am having chances of becoming pregnant naturally.Pls help me to increase the chances of becoming pregnant naturally | Hi, I think you can track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |

Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. If anything is abnormal it can be treated. You can take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo |

I just came back from dermatologist who explained that my hair loss is due to low ferratin which is 38.i started hair loss in october 2010 which stopped about 4 weeks after i started treatment of mionoxydyl and iron supplements and it stopped for 7 months but i lowered my dose of iron for two months and hair loss started again but been put on 2 iron tablets a day of 400mg.could this have caused my hair loss.dermatologist says it is teflum caused by my anemia.I am 41 years old,70kg height 1.68mtres. do suffer heavy periods. | Hi, Low Ferritin is a significant cause of hair loss especially since you mentioned heavy periods.

my age is 22. height is 5'5". weight is 60. the density of hair on scalp is reducing. the affected area on scalp has rudimentary hair which is not increasing. this condition has persisted for more than six months. i suspect tellogen effluvium as there is almost no hair fall but diffused thinning of hair . pls help | Hi, There are multiple reasons for hair fall: poor diet/ low hemoglobin or ferritin/stress/ poor lifestyle/ hereditary/ using poor hair products etc to name a few. Once evaluated you can work on the issue, but its always better to start improving your nutrition and lifestyle quotient as those will always go a long way. You could also consume some multi-vitamins especially with biotin.

You need to do PRP once every 4-5 weeks for a minimum of 6-7 times of optimal growth. You can also consider applying Topical Minoxidil 5% twice day. Hope I have answered your query.
