Reply:Hi everyone!
I'm Dr Nix, managing a family-focused obstetrics and gynaecology practice. I've been diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 12 and had a complete family planning (GP) check up in March 2015. I was able to conceive within 6 months of trying, and my partner was also able to conceive within 4 months after. I'm also involved in several family planning clinics and have a lot of advice and support to provide. My main concerns are that there is no reliable information regarding the effectiveness of Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate). I'm not sure if my specialist is aware of this but can't quite figure out if it is legit or not. Could this be the reason for my appointment?
Hi, it's me, as a GP. My specialist has a few questions about the effectiveness of Provera. I've been advised by my primary care doctor to prescribe this medication. He has a consultation with me before the appointment and will give me a script. I'm worried that the treatment will be too dangerous for my body. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi, I think it's just me. My partner had the same issues with the same treatment and she was put on a hormonal pill that I had been on for a week. I was given the Provera and they were fine until after I had my scan. I went back on it and the doctor says she didn't know what it was, but they didn't want to be told as it was not for me. I had a scan and she was told to see me on a regular basis to check up on my partner. She's now going to see a specialist for the next 6 months. She's a GP, not a specialist. Can you tell me more about that?
Hi, no, no, no, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not aware of any studies that show Provera works. I didn't have any studies done on this particular medication and my GP's only came up with this and it was a possibility. I'm still on Provera but will see more on this when I get my next scan.
Hi, thanks so much for all the support I have received.
You're very welcome. It's important you get your next scan and that's all, I really need to get to the appointment. I'm also doing another appointment to see the specialist and he's more experienced and knowledgeable. I'm worried that it could cause me to miss the appointment or be referred to another GP, so I'll keep asking if that's the case.
Hi, I'm so glad you're asking! I was prescribed Provera for endometriosis and I was surprised that it worked so well. The only side effect that I was worried about was that I had a lot more spotting and the menopausal symptoms were gone. The only thing that I really worried about is the endometrial thickness.
Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it. I feel a bit better and now I can take the time to do the appointment. I will definitely be seeing a specialist for the next 6 months or so and then I will be able to take the time to do the next appointment.
You're welcome, I'm so glad you're asking. I really appreciate all the help. I just wanted to clarify that I was prescribed Provera to get the same treatment, which worked well. I did have some problems with the treatment, but at the end of the day I was able to get on it. I did get my next appointment and then I did some blood tests again. It was a bit of a hassle, but now that I'm on it, I'm sure I'll be able to manage.
You're welcome, thanks so much for all the help and support.
Depo-Provera, also known as Sayana-IUD, is a birth control method that has been used by millions of women to manage their reproductive health. This contraceptive method has been proven effective in preventing pregnancy in many countries, including India. In recent years, the availability of Depo-Provera in India has expanded, as women seeking contraceptive options become more aware of the risk of unintended pregnancies. This article aims to shed light on this topic, exploring the effectiveness of Depo-Provera in preventing pregnancy and how it compares with Sayana-IUD.
Depo-Provera, commonly known by its brand name Sayana-IUD, is a type of hormone contraceptive that works by suppressing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus, effectively controlling menstrual cycles and making the menstrual cycle lighter. Depo-Provera is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, which is used to prevent pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg from the ovary.
As the most widely used contraceptive method in India, Depo-Provera has emerged as a significant player in the medical community. It has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies, particularly among women who have previously used birth control methods.
The contraceptive hormone Depo-Provera, which is also known as Sayana-IUD, is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles and preventing pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus. By acting on the endometrium, it can prevent the thickening of the lining of the uterus, thereby preventing pregnancy.
While Depo-Provera is generally well-tolerated, some women may experience side effects. Common side effects include hot flashes, headaches, mood swings, and visual disturbances. More serious side effects such as liver problems, heart problems, and vision changes can also occur, making it crucial to monitor these symptoms closely.
Despite the benefits, it is important for women to use Depo-Provera under the guidance of a healthcare professional to prevent pregnancy and maintain its effectiveness. In addition, the use of Depo-Provera is generally safe when used as directed. It is usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food, to prevent pregnancy.
Some women experience side effects, particularly when using Depo-Provera. Common side effects include breast tenderness, headaches, and mood swings. Less common but more serious side effects include vision changes, breast tenderness, or swelling in the breasts. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as ovarian cysts, low blood pressure, or allergic reactions can occur.
Depo-Provera is a contraceptive method that has been proven effective in managing its side effects. In addition to its birth control method, Depo-Provera is frequently used to prevent pregnancy in women who are experiencing the side effects associated with the use of other contraceptives. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but they can be more severe and need to be managed more carefully. Regular monitoring and communication with a healthcare professional are essential for a safe and effective contraceptive method.
