What is Aygestin

NorethisteroneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNorethisterone is a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone. It is classified as a second-generation progestin, and is used for various reasons including contraception and hormone replacement therapy. It was first derived in 1951, but it wasn't until 1962 that it was used as an oral contraceptive.

Effectiveness

How Aygestin Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a type of medication taken by mouth which is used as birth control or to treat other hormone-related issues such as menopause or endometriosis. It acts similarly to the hormone progesterone but is much more powerful. It affects the pelvic area to change cervical and endometrial function and stops pituitary hormones from maturing and releasing eggs. There is a slight increased risk of developing breast cancer in patients using combined oral contraceptives or progestin-only pills, so patients should be aware of this risk and do regular breast self-exams to make sure there are no masses forming.
How Aygestin works in the bodyNorethisterone works in the body by binding to progesterone receptors to change how certain genes are expressed. It is mainly used as a contraceptive, as it increases the viscosity of cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus and prevents implantation of an egg. It also stops the release of FSH and LH, hormones responsible for follicle development and ovulation. In menopausal women, norethisterone is used as part of hormone replacement therapy to suppress endometrial growth and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. Norethisterone does not generally have strong effects on other steroid receptors

Aygestin Reviews: What are patients saying about Aygestin?

Aygestin for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding caused by Imbalance of Hormones
My doctor prescribed this to me to take every three months in order to bring on a period. I'm supposed to take 5mg from days 1-14, and then my period should start. It's usually heavy with cramps for the first day or two, but by the fourth day it's done. However, now that I'm cutting back on estrogen, the cramps have been terrible and continuing into the third day. Plus, I'm bleeding pretty heavily still. I hope this goes away soon--I don't know if it's lack of estrogen that's making it so strong.

Aygestin for Absence of Menstrual Periods in Woman Who Has Had Them
This treatment has been great for me. I went without having a period for 7 months and finally saw my doctor. He put me on this pill right away. I take it once a day for the first 5 days of each month and it's worked wonders. I am a little worried though that it will prevent me from getting pregnant if my husband and I try to have a baby.

Aygestin for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding caused by Imbalance of Hormones

Aygestin for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding caused by Imbalance of Hormones
This medication has been terrible for me. It was prescribed to help with peri-menopausal symptoms and abnormal bleeding, but all it's done is give me unbearable cramps and made the bleeding worse. I've been on it for three months now and haven't had a break from bleeding even once.

Patient Q&A Section about aygestin

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What type of birth control is Aygestin?

"Aygestin is a brand-name progestin hormone birth control pill. Progestin-only birth control pills are called “mini-pills.” Most birth control pills combine progestin with another female hormone, estrogen, and are more effective at preventing pregnancy."

Answered by AI

Do you still get your period on Aygestin?

"If you've been taking norethindrone acetate (Aygestin) for a while, you may start to see irregularity in your menstrual patterns. This can manifest in a number of ways, such as skipping periods entirely or experiencing breakthrough bleeding/spotting (light bleeding that occurs outside of your normal cycle)."

Answered by AI

What is Aygestin prescribed for?

"This medication is used to treat women with abnormal bleeding from the uterus or who have stopped having menstrual periods for several months."

Answered by AI

Does Aygestin make you gain weight?

"Aygestin may cause stomach pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, depressed mood, trouble sleeping, or weight gain."

Sculptra + Restylane for Post-Menopausal Skin Concerns

40 - 65
Female
Montreal, Canada
The post-menopausal state is marked by a sharp decline in estrogen, leading to significant structural and functional changes in the skin, including collagen loss, dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity. To address these concerns, aesthetic injectables products such as Sculptra® Aesthetic (poly-L-lactic-acid \[PLLA- SCA\]) and Restylane Skinboosters®\[HASBV\] (small-particle hyaluronic acid - SP-HA) can be used. PLLA-SCA stimulates collagen production via cellular activation (biostimulator), gradually improving dermal structure. HASBV enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture when injected under the skin. Considering that hydration and laxity represent the primary aesthetic concerns in this patient population. Targeted treatment with SP-HA (HASBV) to improve hydration and PLLA-SCA to address laxity have been shown to produce significant clinical outcomes by directly addressing these key dermal deficiencies. This approach forms the basis of the current study.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH
The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

NettleEndo for Endometriosis

22 - 45
Female
San Francisco, CA
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a wearable brain stimulation device called NettleEndo can reduce chronic pelvic pain and improve wellbeing in women with endometriosis. The study also aims to assess the safety and usability of the device when used at home over several months. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does at-home transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduce daily pain intensity in women with endometriosis? 2. Does the device also improve mood and sleep quality? Researchers will compare two groups-one receiving active brain stimulation and one receiving a sham (placebo) stimulation-to see if the active device provides greater improvements in symptoms. Participants will: 1. Use the NettleEndo device at home for 20 minutes per session, five times per week for 12 weeks 2. Be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham stimulation through the device 3. Complete daily and weekly symptom ratings through a mobile app 4. Wear an optional fitness tracker to collect data on sleep, movement, and heart rate variability 5. Be followed for 60 days after completing the intervention to monitor longer-term effects All activities are completed remotely using a smartphone app. Participants can contact the study team with questions at any time. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor the researchers assessing outcomes will know who received active or sham treatment until the end of the trial.

Lidocaine for Pain Control in Birth Control

18 - 50
Female
La Jolla, CA
The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.
