If I was in menopause after chemo and radiation, wouldn’t I know it or have some symptoms?

Q: After the following treatments for stage 2B adenosquamous carcinoma:1) Chemosensitization with Cisplatin (low dose chemo) every Monday for 8 weeks2) High dose radiation to the pelvis and slightly lower dose extending into abdomen and chest3) 5 total treatments of Brachytherapy (internal radiation)From what I’ve been told, there’s absolutely no way I avoided menopause. I am just now 28 as of a few days ago, and my treatment just ended a few months ago.They put me on low-ogestrel (low estrogen) birth control pills to try and replace some of the hormones my body has now stopped making, they kept me on the pills continuously all throughout my treatment since I was already on them before my treatment for years, and they told me to keep taking them continuously forever (without the 7 day break of placebo pills inbetween).I don’t feel any symptoms of menopause. I feel completely normal besides minor aches or pains here and there, a little fatigue, nothing I can’t handle. No hot flashes, no mood swings, nothing I notice different at all. I also did a little experiment and stopped taking my BC pills last month for a few days. Sure enough I had a period as would normally happen when on BC pills. Then I started taking the pills again and no more bleeding. It was definitely not abnormal bleeding, it was due to not taking the BC pills. Does this mean I somehow beat the odds and escaped menopause? Or do you get periods when you’re in menopause? And could the low dose estrogen BC pills really mask menopause this well that I really would not notice it?Anyone know about this? I am so confused and google doesn’t provide any clear answers of anyone in my same situation.

A: My mother in law after having radiation and chemo at 36 started menopause with no symptoms she just stopped her period and it never came back. In her late 50’s she has hot flashes sometimes.hope this helps…I guess everyone is different.Good luck to yougod bless

9 weeks pregnant with slight bleeding 4 days after internal exam?

Q: I am currently 9w 1d pregnant. I had an ultrasound on Wednesday the 5th as well as a complete OB check-up with an internal exam. I know the cervix is easily irritated in pregnancy and sex & exams can cause bleeding.It has happened with my last one. But typically a day or two after, not 4 days later. My husband and I had intercourse the same night as my appointment. The bleeding is scant, light pink, mixed with discharge. I am also having some lower back ‘pressure’,and sort of feel like I do a few days before my period starts, nothing severe. But sometimes I feel like this when I am constipated, which I have been since I got pregnant. I don’t know if I should go to E.R. and get checked out, try to call the OB on call number, or just rest. I am scared. My first pregnancy ended with a ‘missed’ m/c @ 13 weeks (the baby died around 8-9 weeks, but no symptoms), my second went perfect, and my third I had bleeding on and off for the first 3-4 months. What would you do in this situation?As of right now, the bleeding has stopped. I still have the pressure in my back, but no longer in my abdomen. I have been just resting since I posted. I am going to wait for a while and see what happens.And I want to say how amazing it is for complete strangers to be so concerned and compassionate! Thanks everyone!

A: If you are worried about it you should go the er when i got my exam done i bleed for couple days i am 9 weeks pregnant too my doctor told it is normal

Is it internal hemorriods or rectal cancer?

Q: I am a 42 year old white female. A little overweight (about 50 lbs) and for about the last I have had trouble with my bowels. I am sometimes constipated and sometimes have real soft bowel movements. When I do have bowel movements they are soft and small. I was going to a doctor last spring that found out I had an intestional infection and we treated that then treated my indigestion and also tried to give me medicine to clean out my system since I had an intestional infection. I had told the doctor I wanted to have a colonoposy (however you spell that) but we never got to it. I got laid off from my job, can’t find a new one and have no insurance and only about half my income that I had before. I am really become concerned because I have just recently in the past couple weeks started bleeding when I have a bowel movement. I read about rectal cancer and it ALWAYS talks about weight loss, but I definately don’t have that problem. I’ve had a few people tell me it might be internal hemorriods. I would just go to a doctor but with no insurance and no money to pay them I don’t have any idea what to do and I’m really becoming worried. I am wondering if there is anyone out their that has had either or both of these and could give me some more symptoms….I have had external hemorriods when I was pregnant and this is nothing like that but figure internal ones are different.Any advices suggestions or anything would be greatly appreciated.

A: My mom had internal hemorrhoids and the only symptom she had was blood in the stool!You can avoid hemorrhoids by following the following eight tips. However, you should remember that there is no guarantee they won’t develop at some stage.1. Increase the fiber in your diet. Great sources of fiber are grains, cereals, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. Be careful; add fiber to your diet slowly.2. Avoid straining when defecating. You should also avoid long sessions sitting on the toilet. Forget about reading on the toilet.3. Drink lots of water to keep the bowels loose. Increased water consumption helps to bulk up and soften stools, making them easier to pass.4. Avoid long sitting, get up and move regularly. If your work requires you to sit or stand for a prolonged period, take regular stretching breaks that change your position. When relaxing, lie on your side while watching television or reading.5. Exercise every day. It can be as simple as a walk around the block. Exercise for about thirty minutes on a daily basis.6. Avoid constipation and diarrhea. Increase water consumption, add fiber to your diet, eat regular meals, exercise daily, do not ignore the urge to go to the bathroom and reduce stress.7. Avoid sudden heavy lifting. The sudden increase of pressure on the blood vessels can cause the veins in the rectal area to stretch and swell.8. Keep the anal area clean. Try to remember that the goal is not to wipe the anal area clean but rather, to wash it clean.Internal Hemorrhoids symptoms:The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is rectal bleeding. You may find bright red streaks of blood on the toilet paper or bright red blood in the toilet bowl after having a normal bowel movement. Blood also may be visible on the surface of the stool.Other symptoms of internal hemorrhoids may include:Itching. This is a frequent complaint, because internal hemorrhoids often seep mucus, which can irritate the anal skin and cause itching. Skin irritation. Large hemorrhoids that bulge from the anus may secrete mucus, causing mild irritation. Discomfort. You may still feel the urge to pass stool right after having a bowel movement. This uncomfortable feeling is caused by the bulging of the hemorrhoid in the end portion of the large intestine (anal canal). In general, the larger the hemorrhoid, the greater the discomfort. Pain. Most internal hemorrhoids are not painful. But large hemorrhoids that bulge from the anus may become painful if they swell and are squeezed by the muscles that control the anus. Severe pain may be a sign that the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is being cut off (strangulated hemorrhoid). Emergency treatment is needed. Rectal bleeding and pain and recent changes in bowel habits are also symptoms of colon, rectal, or anal cancer. People who have these symptoms, especially those age 50 or older or those with a family history of colon cancer, should talk to their health professional.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Signs and Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer If you have any of the following you should check with your doctor for prompt diagnosis and treatment: a change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool, that lasts for more than a few days a feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that is not relieved by doing so rectal bleeding, dark stools, or blood in the stool (often, though, the stool will look normal) cramping or abdominal (stomach area) pain weakness and fatigue Most of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by conditions other than colorectal cancer, such as infection, hemorrhoids, or inflammatory bowel disease. Still, if you have any of these problems, it’s important to see your doctor right away so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
