Can "Esto Plo Forte" Be Taken For Delayed Periods?

default
Posted on Thu, 3 Apr 2014
Question: Hello am, 20 years old female, and I had an unprotected sex with my partner on 14th february, 2014. Only 1 time and after 1 month until now, there is no sex at all. Now, I'm not getting periods. I have asked for one medicine shop as I'm not getting periods. They gave me "Esto Plo Forte" tablets and told me to take them only after eating food for one day-cycle. My doubt is, as am not getting periods, can I use that Medicine so that I can get periods immediately & also my pregnancy(seems like having positive symptoms using PREGTEST) will be gone immediately? I really can't go to hospital or any family doctor. Help me, and tell me whether I can use Esto Plo Forte for my problem or not? I need a correct answer please & its urgent..

Brief Answer: Esto plo will most likely not help. Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome to HCM. I am Dr Madhuri a gynecologist and will be helping you. I understand your question. However some points are unclear. Do you have a positive pregnancy test? This is very important as the whole treatment changes if there is pregnancy. Also when was your last period and how regular are your periods. I will try to provide as much information as I can with the available history. If you have had unprotected sex even once during the time when you were fertile meaning when the ovum was ovulating, pregnancy is possible. So number of sexual contacts do not matter but timing of contact is important. If you have had unprotected sex and not done a pregnancy test, get it done immediately. Use the first morning sample of urine for best results. If the test is positive and you do not want the pregnancy,unfortunately you will have to go to a doctor as esto plo forte will do nothing. It is not even an approved drug but just some vitamin preparation. It will not help at all. So if test is positive go to a doctor for check up. The location and duration of pregnancy will need to be checked. Sometimes pregnancy occurs outside the uterus like in the tube. If abortificient drugs are taken in such cases, women may even die. So please get a check up. It is possible to procure an abortion till 63 days after the missed periods using pills. It must be done under the supervision of a doctor and in a place where a surgery can be performed if needed. If the test is negative even 7 days after the missed period there is no pregnancy, wait for 2 more weeks if there are no other symptoms. Stress can also delay periods. So they may come by themselves. If still no periods you will need to look for the cause like hormonal imbalance or ovarian cysts and for that you can see a doctor. Simple drugs like progesterone help in most cases. Also I would like to inform you that abortion is not the safest method and it is better to use contraception like condoms to prevent pregnancy as well as protect yourself from infections [ even though use of condoms does not protect 100% against HIV]. So please please be careful henceforth. Please let me know the other details if possible. Thanks for the query. I do understand your position. Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have and I am here to help you. Dr Madhuri Bagde Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist

Hello mam, thanks for answering to my question very clearly. I have unprotected sex only with my partner. I have tested my pregnancy using PREGTEST device. It shown two pink colors on T,C columns when I tested it myself. Can I remove my pregnancy on my own by eating some pregnancy removal based vegetables or any tonic or any tablet so that I can be safer? If I goto hospital, then it will create a problem mam. But still, am having doubt, whether am pregnant or not because many girls are getting pregnant only after 6 times of doing sex. But in my case, only 1 time sex is done. Can I know what is the problem for my period loss mam? In february its, on 6th date which I got period mam. Please help me mam..Am also getting stomach ache and vomiting sensation too along with some stress in the morning times mam. Please help me to get rid of this problem mam...

Brief Answer: This is a pregnancy. Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome back. I understand your predicament completely. Let me explain you how pregnancy occurs. In a female about 12-14 days after the first day of the menses a female egg is produced and released. This may occur on any day from day 10-20 in women with 30 days cycle. The egg remains alive for 24 hours and if sexual contact occurs during this time pregnancy is possible. On all other days when egg is not there, pregnancy will not occur however times sexual contact is done. Your last period was on 6th february and you has sex on 14 february that was the day 9 of the cycle. Sperm remain alive for upto 36 hours after sex in the female system. So if ovulation occurred meanwhile as the day 10-20 are the days when ovulation may occur on any day, pregnancy is possible. Hence you got pregnant after one episode as it was done on fertile day. Two line in the kit mean a pregnancy. There is no other reason for absent periods. You had a period on 6th february. So today you are 38 days pregnant. Meaning 5 weeks 3 days. You must rush to a doctor if you want an abortion as it is safe and can be done using medicines easily in the first 42 days. Later the chances of bleeding and incomplete procedure are more. There are no vegetables or tonics that will help you. Please remember this and do not fall prey to quacks and fraud doctors that may lure you to provide medicines. Under a skilled doctor you will be very safe and the procedure will be easy. It will just be like a heavy period. I hope you understand the issue. Do not worry. Please take help of your friends or family. They will, maybe be a bit harsh but in the end they are the ones that always stand with us. Believe in them. Things will be alright. I am always here to help you. Do let me know if there are any other problems. Dr Madhuri

Hello mam. Thanks for your advice mam. Can I use MIFEPRISTONE & MISOPROSTOL on my own so that I can get rid of this pregnancy? Because many girls are doing like that and they are safer too. If so, then how many pills can I use and what will be the procedure for using them? Please help me mam... Am crying here...

Brief Answer: Do not cry. Things can be fixed. Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome back. I am sorry as I had to go for an emergency call. Please do not cry. I understand that this is a difficult situation but there are ways out. Those ways are simple. It is unfortunate but life does not stop here. We must learn and go ahead. I am sure you will do well in future and forget this. It is indeed unfortunate that girls are indiscriminately using mifepristone and misoprostol. Please remember it is not safe to use them without having a gynec examination. Even selling the drugs without a proper prescription is banned. It is not possible for me to prescribe them here online as certain guidelines like examination of patient, confirming pregnancy is intrauterine, confirming gestation have to be followed before prescribing them. So I am extremely sorry I cannot do it. As a gynecologist I cannot suggest you to use them without prescription. It is not a big issue to visit a gynec. We understand these situations and doctors do cooperate. They will be gentle and not harsh on you and help you out. Please do not cry. I suggest that you get in touch with some one close to you. Our parents are our best counsellors in such cases as they always wish the best for us. They will help you and also take care that you are safe. Think about it. If you are not able to do it, visit a doctor in some other area and discuss things. They will also help you out. You may also take help from your close friend. I personally feel that our parents are the best friends and always safeguard our interests. So please do not panic. Things are not as bad as they look. You are an intelligent girl as you have taken precautions to confirm how to go ahead by taking expert help. I am sure you will get out of this. It is a small rough patch but it will pass away. I am here when you need. Do not cry. Take control as this is the time when a cool mind and control will be needed to get out of this situation. Dr Madhuri
