if you have cervical cancer how does it affect the baby?

Q: my sister has cervical cancer and just found out she is pregnant….how will the cancer affect the baby and her during the pregnancy and will she be able to carry full term?

A: Well, there are quite a few issues at stake here.First off, is it malignant or benign? Occasionally benign polyps will actually detach and flush themselves on their own, but don’t count on this.If it is malignant, I’m assuming she has had a cone biopsy. That will determine the state of the cancer, the size, and spread, etc. It also then leads into have a LEEP performed, where they actually electronically cut away the affected tissue.If she has not had any of this done, she needs to. Now! Not just for the baby, but for her own health and survival.Now, whether she has had a LEEP performed or not, the issue at play is the ability for her cervix to remain closed in order to carry the baby to term. With having a LEEP performed, she does not has as much tissue to hold together as normal, or with the presence of a tumor, it may be restricting the ability of the cervix to remain closed through to term.Any procedures she needs to have done, she needs to do now, so her body has a chance to heal before the pressure of the growing child takes it’s toll on her. Now, depending on the state of the cancer, the current term of the pregnancy, and the views of the doctor, they may feel a surgical procedure is too risky at this point. They will be able to guide her properly with her options.First off, make sure she consults with her OB. They can help her with her questions, and also guide her through the concerns she may have. Secondly, (and her OB will help with this) is to find a good Perinatologist (pronounced perry-nate-ologist). They specialize in difficult pregnancies and they are worth their weight in gold. I don’t know what area you are in, but if you are in the Philadelphia region, look up a Dr. Robert Debbs. And you do what he tells you. Anything he tells you. I trust him with my life, more importantly, I trusted him with my son’s life.Good luck with everything, and congratulations to her.I think Julius needs to go to a better place. This is a forum for helping people with their questions and providing guidance. Not for ridiculing and berating those who come here. Go find some happiness in life, I wish you well.

Best Contraceptive for sexual intercourse?

Q: Me and my gf regularly have S++. However, I am really sick of using condom and also tired of pulling out, once in a while we use after morning pills when i shoot inside but she dislike it and worry it will cause cancer or affect pregnancy rate in future. We thoughts of monthly pills, spermicide, natural control. Can anyone please advice the side effect of each method and the percentage of protection. Did anyone here heard of woman condom and another method which come in a pad which the girl just stick near ur private area. If yes, please advice how it work and where to buy it and the safety and side effect,If there is any protection method kindly please inform as well. Me and my gf hope to compromise on protection but fun as well.

A: Your girlfriend should be on the pill. And you should wear a condom. Pulling out is not an effective way to prevent pregnancy, in fact it’s not a good idea at all! And morning after pills are meant for only one time emergencies, they can damage her reproductive system if she takes them often, they are not birth control. The best method is birth control and a condom, even just a condom is pretty safe, pulling out and using the morning after pill many times is not, she could have problems when she gets older if she keeps that up, or just not having sex.
