Silofast will not cause psa level to go down, once started, it can be tapered/ stopped only by a urologist.

Health Query

Hi doctor, I had taken pill mesopril kit (combipack of mifepristone and misoprostol tablet, this medicine was suggested to me by doctor only that's why I took it) on 19th of august for abortion. At that time I was 3 weeks pregnant. On 20th of august bleeding and pain started, and I had heavy bleeding for one week, then it slowed down after 2 weeks, but now it has again started to bleed and still tissues are coming. My doctor has suggested to do ultrasound and if there are still remains then I will again have to eat mesopril kit 5 tablets. So I want to know if it is safe to eat it twice within one month? Also doctor says that cleaning will be done if then also it does not come out. What is the procedure of this cleaning? Please guide. Thank you, Lybrate user.

Hello dear, this kit show different results always.
I would advice you to go for ultrasound to know about left tissue and go for cleaning process.
Because if tissue is left for long time it may result in infection.

I am 66 years old. I am also taking medicine for Type II Diabetes and Hypertension. Can this BPH be cured through medication by Ayurveda?

Use ice to reduce swelling in the scrotum. Take warm baths. Support your testicles while lying down by placing a rolled towel under your scrotum. Use over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce pain.
