Spotting after intercourse

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

When you make love and have pleasant feelings, sometimes you find that you start bleeding, and this may ruin the moment for many couples. Many women ask ‘why does this happen?’

The reasons are many. While this could be the beginning sign of some serious disease, usually it is not. You should consult your doctor because this may lead to problems like infertility issues, uterine polyps, fibroids, some vaginal infections, or a lack of estrogen in vagina to lubricate it.  These all can lead to the heavy menstruation with clots and other serious vaginal issues. Vaginal infections can be bacterial and may cause burning, itching, inflammation, and swelling.

Usually spotting after intercourse is caused from uterine bleeding, but may be from cervical bleeding as well. It may be due to a lack of lubrication from low levels of estrogen in the vagina. This makes the vaginal lining thing which can easily bruise during intercourse. If you are a breast feeding mom, this is very likely because breast feeding moms have less estrogen in the vagina.

Also, during intercourse, some women experience vaginal tears because of lack of lubrication or too rough sex. This can also be due to an infection that causes the cervix to become very sensitive and to bleed after intercourse.

Precautions After Tubal Reversal:

Monday, May 25th, 2009

After tubal reversal surgery, you will become very eager to start planning your pregnancy. You will dream of holding your cute new baby in your arms. You will start planning to welcome the new member of the family. This is very natural.

After tubal reversal, there are some points to keep in mind. When women get the good news that they are pregnant, they must take good care of themselves, and even some extra care as compared to the normal pregnancy. They must also track their cycle carefully as the chance of a tubal pregnancy or a miscarriage can occur. An early appointment with their physician is very important for tubal reversal patients.

After tubal reversal, if pregnancy is not achieved after a few months, don’t get too upset or worried. In the practical study of patients, pregnancy can occur on average from 6 months to a year. These results are related to the fertility of both parents.

After tubal reversal, some patients are interested in making sure that the reversal has not healed incorrectly and that their tubes are still open. A HysteroSalpingoGram (HSG) is a good method of evaluating the success of a tubal reversal. HSG should be done by an experienced doctor.

Pregnancy with less tubal length:

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Tubal reversal is the process of reattaching the fallopian tubes that were separated in the tubal ligation process. It is now completely possible to reverse this procedure for those couples who change their mind and decide that they want to have more children. The advancements made in tubal reversal surgery are very good news for those who wanted to have babies again after a tubal ligation.

In tubal ligation, doctors may clip, burn, tie, or cut the fallopian tubes. To adequately counsel the patient and her partner, we must have the detailed previous report of the tubal ligation surgery. Depending on the type of tubal ligation, we can access how many places the tubes are burned, or how much of the fallopian tube was destroyed. If these details are not mentioned, the tubal reversal success rate will not be as accurately determined prior to the surgery. In order to reattach the tubes, there must be some healthy part of fallopian tube for the tubal reversal. The total length of a fallopian tube is normally about 10cm. At least 5 cm of healthy tube on each side is optimal to conceive again with success rate of as high as 80%. Although pregnancies do occasionally occur with tubal lengths as little as 3 cm.

In the burning procedure of a tubal ligation, the normal practice of doctors is burning of three points of 1 cm each on both fallopian tubes. The process can also be performed with burning of tubes from two points. The success rate of a tubal reversal is directly related to the final length of healthy fallopian tube left after the tubal reversal.

Tubal Sterilization Reversal

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Sterilization is the process in which spores, living cells and viruses are completely destroyed. While “tubal sterilization” does not actually ‘kill’ anything, a tubal ligation will prevent the sperm from swimming to the egg for fertilization. When a physician performs a tubal sterilization, the fallopian tube of the woman is blocked on each side to prevent this fertilization according to the woman’s wish not to have babies in future. Unfortunately, up to 15% of women regret this decision and after tubal sterilization they want to become pregnant again. Tubal sterilization reversal is a safe and effective method for those women who wish to become pregnant again.

In the Tubal Sterilization reversal process, doctors remove the blockage of fallopian tube to clear the way for a natural birth procedure. For tubal sterilization reversal women must be emotionally and physically prepared. The best candidates for tubal sterilization reversal are those women who have an adequate amount of fallopian tube left to reanastomose. A microsurgical tubal reanastomosis is best performed if the two sections of tube have a similar tubal diameter to reattach the fallopian tube back together.
