What is Micronor

NorethisteroneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNorethisterone, also known as norethindrone, is a synthetic hormone used for various purposes such as contraception, hormone replacement therapy, irregular menstruation and endometriosis. It is a second-generation progestin, more potent than natural progesterone, and was first developed in 1951 in Mexico City. It was not available for use as an oral contraceptive until 1962.

Effectiveness

How Micronor Affects PatientsNorethisterone is a medication taken orally as a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It is used as birth control or to treat other hormone-related conditions like menopause symptoms or endometriosis. Norethisterone works by changing cervical and endometrial function, as well as blocking certain hormones from being released from the pituitary gland that are needed for egg development and ovulation. Taking norethisterone, as with other hormonal contraceptives, may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer. Patients should be made aware of this risk and should perform regular self-examinations to check for
How Micronor works in the bodyNorethisterone works by changing cells in the reproductive tract, breast, pituitary, hypothalamus, skeletal tissue, and central nervous system. It makes the cervical mucous thicker and harder for sperm to move through. It also changes the endometrium in a way that makes it difficult for a fertilized egg to attach and grow. Norethisterone also negatively affects the hormones released by the hypothalamus and pituitary, which prevents ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum. In hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, norethisterone is used to prevent the growth of the endomet

Micronor for Birth Control
I haven't had much trouble taking it, an alarm works great! I have been off by a few hrs. a couple times in the past 1 1/2 yrs of using it- I never use condoms and haven't gotten pregnant (Not that I would recommend that). I have however gained about 20 lbs and haven't been able to loose it as easily as before I was on the pill. I still get a monthly period but it is regular and very rarely is there spotting.

I've been on this medicine for a while now, and it's helped me in some ways but not others. I still get my period monthly, which is worrying considering the information says I shouldn't be ovulating. It's easy to remember to take since I just set an alarm on my phone, though.

I was on this medication for four years. For the first three, my period was lighter but very irregular, lasting anywhere from 25 to 50 days. The last year, I have been having very frequent, painful, and heavy periods, sometimes bleeding for 3 or 4 weeks straight. I have just switched and hope the new pill is better. I also hope it doesn't decrease my sex drive like micronor did.

Menstrual Cycle vs. Birth Control Pills for Protein Metabolism

18 - 40
Female
Toronto, Canada
The muscles of the body are constantly breaking down old proteins and building new ones. These two processes, protein breakdown and protein synthesis, together are known as protein turnover. Protein turnover is essential for maintaining healthy muscle. Despite its importance, females have historically been underrepresented in protein metabolism research. A long-standing assumption has been that fluctuations in female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, whether across the natural menstrual cycle or in individuals using oral contraceptives (OCs), make metabolism and training responses too variable to study. Because of this, many researchers have excluded female participants for logistical reasons. Resistance exercise, such as weightlifting, is the most effective way to increase muscle size and strength. Each resistance-training session triggers muscle protein synthesis (MPS), the process by which new muscle proteins are built. Consuming dietary protein or individual amino acids further increases the rate at which new proteins are formed. Over time, higher rates of protein synthesis support muscle growth and the maintenance of other lean tissues in the body. The purpose of this study is to examine how menstrual cycle phases and OC use influence the synthesis of proteins in both muscle tissue and the rest of the body. Improving scientific understanding in this area will support more effective, evidence-based training and nutrition recommendations for females.

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.
