Should my birth control shot be taken 3 or 4 months after the previous shot?

Doctor's Answers 1

The recommended interval between each contraception injection of depoprovera is every 12 weeks. In this way, the contraceptive effect (prevention of ovulation) of depoprovera is preserved. If your menses is delayed and your last depoprovera injection was more than 12 weeks ago, then it is advisable for you to see your gynaecologist to determine if you could be pregnant.

How can taking isotretinoin affect the foetus during pregnancy?

Please do NOT take isotretinoin if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Isotretinoin is a teratogen. This means that it can cause congenital birth defects and increase the risk of fetal death. This can occur even when exposed to isotretinoin for a short period of time. Patients usually have to sign a contract prior to starting on a course of isotretinoin, to ensure that they are aware of the serious risks involved if they fall pregnant.

Is it wise to go for eyesight correction with LASIK or Smile RELEX at the age of 37 if presbyopia is likely to happen at 40?

Who is eligible for LASIK and Lenticule Treatments? LASIK or lenticule treatments like SMILE and the upcoming CLEAR by Ziemer are refractive laser surgeries that can be done from 18 to 60 years old, including people with presbyopia. The aim is to reduce our dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Are LASIK and Lenticule Treatments Suitable for People Close to Presbyopic Age? For those who are close to presbyopic age, I usually offer a trial of monovision with trial frames (trial glasses in the clinic) and aim for a small residual myopia of about 100degree in the non-dominant eye.
