Is eating few pieces of papaya affect being pregnant?

This is something some people claim but there is no research to back it up and I have yet to read a statement from someone claiming it worked for them and how much they ate. It's not easy to terminate a healthy pregnancy and time will pass by and the pregnancy go further along while you experiment at home. See a doctor for a sure and safe abortion and if you don't have a safe abortion provider where you live you can see a doctor at womenonweb.

What is the value of the breast cancer stamp?

This would depend on what year it was issued and the condition of the stamp.

For example a used stamp in average condition from 1998 is worth between 6 and 19 cents to a collector but could not be used for postage.

An unused stamp in average condition from 1998 would be worth face value; in the case of a forever stamp (without a face value printed), it would be worth whatever the current postage rate has been raised too (as of January 2013, it would be worth 46 cents) and could be used for postage at that value.

How do you know when to go to the hospital when you are in labor?

Whenever you're water breaks, or you can just feel the baby coming. Call a doctor if this doesn't give you enough information about you're baby. I'm not an expert! Sorry.

When your water breaks, when your contractions are steady 4-5 minutes apart lasting around 45 seconds to 1 minute each for about 30 minutes to an hour and gaining in intensity. When you cannot get through a task that would take about 45 minutes because of the pain is a good indicator.

Can endometriosis come back?

Yes, if it's not cured from the root. Pelvic inflammatory disease which is known as PID is one of the most frequent occurred disease for women. According to the data released by WHO, around 1 million women in USA experience an episode of this disease every year. It would bring complications like ectopic pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain to women. Pelvic inflammatory disease and its complications are cured by taken antibiotics orally in the early years. But the results are always not that satisfied by suffers. Fortunately, there is a new herbal medicine Fuyan pill has been developed. This made it possible for women to get a full recovery from Pelvic inflammatory disease and its complications, and it has great superiority on eliminating chronic symptoms.

How to get pregnant when you have Endometriosis?

I have endometriosis and the doctors have told me that until a fertility test is taken you wont be able to know if you are or are not able to have children. However, they also mentioned that it will be more difficult to become pregnant. I have met several women who have endometriosis who got pregnant just fine. Getting pregnant and having endometriosis is based solely upon your individual genetic make-up.

AnswerIt really depends on the extent of the Endometriosis. I am assuming that you were diagnosed through laparoscopy, which is the only true way of diagnosing Endometriosis. Therefore, you should ask the physician that performed the procedure exactly where the endometrial implants are located. If they are in the fallopian tubes or ovaries, there is usually too much scar tissue for an egg or sperm to travel through and result in pregnancy.

Many women though, have been known to become pregnant with Endometriosis and have said that the disease virtually disappears or lessens after pregnancy due to not menstruating for 9 or more months. Check with your Dr, if you have insurance, the endometrial implants can often be removed with laser and covered by your plan.

*****Don't give up home thogh cause I had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with Endometriosis last summer 2010 that covered all of my organs from my servix all the way up to and including my liver, my tubes and ovaries weres severely scared as well as many of my organs and in November 2010 just after my birthday I found out I was pregnant and medically speaking it wasn't possible, but it happened. and now I have a two and a half month old son who is perfectly healthy and we couldn't be happier. As for the fertility tests they were all negative and i took them as instructed to the T as well as fertility medication. Eventually I quit worrying and stoped the meds and the tests and just went on with my life not just mentally but deep down.... and as I said previously wonderful blessing of a son was still the result for me.--Stevie1989

Can a biopsy determine if you have endometriosis?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat endometriosis. If your doctor recommends a laparoscopy, it will be used to look for and possibly remove implants and scar tissue. But laparoscopy is not always needed. It is usually done when infertility requires rapid treatment and probable surgery or when treatment has not relieved pain or infertility.

How do you detect endometriosis?

The only way to really know if you have endometriosis is by having laparoscopic surgery. In the surgery, there is a camera that is put through a small incision by your belly button. The camera will show if there is endometrial tissue growing in areas that it should not be. However, there are some symptoms that will indicate the possibility of endometriosis without a laparoscopy. These may include, and are not limited to: irregular periods, bleeding in between periods, pain in the abdomen area, difficulty conceiving, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. There are many women that never have any symptoms at all. So if you suspect you may have it, visit your OB GYN to discuss your concerns.

If you really infected with it, don't worry, it is curable. The TCM herbal medicine has been proven effective on curing endometriosis by many clinic cases. There is no doubt that TCM has more advantages such as no side effect and no drug resistance as well. We may as well take herbal medicine fuyan pill for example; fuyan pill has the functions of clearing heat and removing toxin, activating blood and resolving stasis, and resolving dampness which can help patients eliminate symptoms and restore health.

Can painful menstruration be endometriosis?

Yes. In endometriosis the tissue begins to grow in places outside, as well as inside, the uterus. When the tissue begins to slough off during the monthly cycle it can cause pain or discomfort wherever it is located. Over time the length of pain tends to increase and can last for weeks.

Is using imesh safe?

In my opinion, no, it is not safe. let me tell you, it almost jacked up my mp3. at first, i was happy with it, but then when i tried charging my mp3 a few days after i installed imesh, my mp3 would charge and then shut off when i opened up imesh. it kept doing this. so i restarted my computer, and i tried charging it AGAIN. it worked without imesh! then just to test it out, i opened up imesh. immediately, my mp3--which had registered to imesh--started to go wacky again: charging for a minute, then shutting off, and then charging all over again. so i uninstalled imesh immediately.

plus before i installed imesh, norton scanned my computer and few viruses were detected. then i installed imesh, and norton found about a thousand viruses.

its like limewire (which caused for my computer to have a virus) so im just telling you that you shouldn't use it.

Can you die from endometriosis surgery?

I have had Endometriosis for 6 years. And I have had 5 surgeries in relation to it. While Endometriosis is not a fatal disease, there are risks to your life with any surgery. A number of things can go wrong while on the operating table. The risks are greater if they have to fully open you up then if you have a laproscopic procedure done. I have had both which is how I know the answer to this. Before having any kind of operation done you have to sign many forms and your doctor should inform you that there are risks to any surgery, including one done for Endometriosis.

Will endometriosis cause infertility?

Not always. It also depends on the woman's genetic makeup on how fertile she would've been without the endometriosis. The locations, depth, and sizes of the endometrial implants are what determines infertility or difficulties in conception.

Can you have endometriosis without heavy bleeding?

Yes.

Heavy bleeding is just one of many signs or symptoms of endometriosis. Actually, many women with endometriosis have none of the usual symptoms and would never know it without an exploratory surgery (or if the doctor noticed it during caesarian delivery), because endometriosis doesn't appear on ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI, or XRay.

How can you tell if you have endometriosis?

Unfortunately some endometrioses patients may be completely asymptomatic while others experience emotional and physical pain that is almost unbearable. For those who are not asymptomatic, the patients may experience anywhere from one to all of the following symptoms: pain before and during periods, pain with intercourse, general, chronic pelvic pain through the month, low back pain, heave and/or irregular periods, painful bowel movements, painful urination during menstruation, fatigue, infertility, diarrhea or constipation, nausea and vomiting, headaches, pain during intercourse, low-grade fevers, depression, hypoglycemia, anxiety and increased susceptibility to infections or allergies . According to Harvard Women's Health Watch, the most common symptom that most women experience with endometriosis is severe menstrual cramps, gastrointestinal problems, and pain during intercourse. Women who experience postpartum endometriosis, generally have different symptoms than those who develop endometriosis naturally. Their symptoms are generally fever, increased pulse, chills, anorexia, nausea, fatigue and lethargy, pelvic pain, uterine tenderness and/or foul smelling. Some women may also become anemic. Within 36 to 48 hours, blood cultures should reveal any evidence of endometriosis.

Can having a miscarriage cause endometriosis?

What causes endometriosis?

There are several things that have said to be the cause of endometriosis. Although endometriosis can occur at pretty much any time in a woman's reproductive life, the most common ages are from twenty five to twenty nine. Some studies show that it is thought to be a hereditary factor. When a woman is exposed to increased menstruation, her possibility of developing endometriosis is higher. Also, a woman who experienced long and heavy menstrual periods before having children might be more susceptible to endometriosis. Obesity is another factor that can affect the possibility of developing the disease

There are a number of treatments available. They include surgery to remove the endo, pain medications, drugs that affect the hormonal system, herbal medicine of Fuyan Pill, and hysterectomy.

How do you treat endometriosis?

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of cells (endometrial cells) similar to those that form the inside of the uterus, but in a location outside of the uterus. Endometrial cells are cells that are shed each month during menstruation. The cells of endometriosis attach themselves to tissue outside the uterus and are called endometriosis implants. These implants are most commonly found on the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, outer surfaces of the uterus or intestines, and on the surface lining of the pelvic cavity. They can also be found in the vagina, cervix, and bladder, although less commonly than other locations in the pelvis. Rarely, endometriosis implants can occur outside the pelvis, on the liver, in old surgery scars, and even in or around the lung or brain. Endometrial implants, while they can cause problems, are benign (not cancerous).

Most people will choose to do a surgery to get cured , but , that will leave a scar or the patients will suffer from a lot of pain , the the herbal med Fuyan pill is a very good med , this medicine has applied for a patent. "Fuyan pill" has the function to clear away heat and toxic material.After three months' treatment , all the symptoms can be cleared up and the patients can be pregant after their radical treatment .

How old can you be to get endometriosis?

I'm pretty certain any female who has their period can get endometriosis.

"Endometriosis can affect any woman, from premenarche to postmenopause, regardless of her race or ethnicity or whether or not she has had children" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis)

If you do think you have it, go see your doctor and they might be able to help you find ways to treat it without having to go to a gynocologist (if you feel you are too young).

I think I may have endometriosis , but I'm waiting til I'm 18 to see the gyno so I can work up the courage!

But definitely go to the doctor if you have period pain, because they should be able to help with the pain a little bit, if not completely :)

Can you have kids with endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells invade the pelvic cavity outside the uterus and continue to grow. These lesions or masses can be all different sizes and several different. The ovaries are one of the most common sites for the lesions to occur. These lesions are capable of distorting the large intestine, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Due to these complications, it can cause bowel problems and infertility

According to the Mayo Clinic, infertility is the most common complication of endometriosis. Approximately one-third to one-half of patients diagnosed with endometriosis has difficulties becoming pregnant. The endometrial lesions can interfere with the egg's ability to travel from the ovary, to the fallopian tubes and implantation as well. Another reason for impaired fertility is that the adhesions surrounding the uterus, pull it into a fixed, retoverted position. They can also interfere with conception itself. The lesions can block the path of the sperm and prevent it from ever reaching the egg to fertilize it. Despite these obstacles, many women with endometriosis are able to get pregnant

The fertility rates for women with a mild case of endometriosis without therapy are seventy-five percent. Because the fallopian tubes are often distorted and harmed from the endometrial lesions, women who suffer from severe cases of endometriosis often find it more difficult to conceive. For those who have severe cases of endometriosis, their fertility rate ranges from about thirty to forty percent. Surgery and ovulation induction are methods that are often used to help increase a woman's chance of becoming pregnant
