28 Yrs Old Taking Meprate For Periods. Severe Burning Sensation Near Vagina, Unable To Have Sex. Side Effects Of Meprate ?

Posted on Wed, 18 Jul 2012

Question: Hi,

I am 28 years old and i am taking meprate since i was 14. I dont get periods without meprate, but i get my periods always after 5-6 days of taking meprate.

I got married 2 years back but not able to do sex, as i feel severe and burning sensation near my vagina. Is this the side-effect of taking meprate??? Will i ever get periods without meprate. I have all my tests done many times and everytime everything comes normal in report. We want to plan baby. Can you please suggest something?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Taking just two tablets of meprate in a cycle is not likely to have any side effects even on a long term use. Since you do not get periods spontaneously every month, you need a detailed hormonal assessment and other relevant investigations under the care of an infertility specialist.
You need to get an Ultrasound of your ovaries and other pelvic organs. Also, hormonal tests of FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone, Androstenedione, Thyroid hormones will be needed.
The burning and pain during sex is commonly seen due to lack of lubrication and foreplay. Indulge in lots of foreplay.You can also use artificial lubricants like KY jelly for same.While having intercourse keep a pillow under your hips for better penetration and be relaxed before the act.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Regarding Sex problem, we have tried many methods. We used Xylocaine, but that didnt help much. I still feel pain and burning sensation after we try.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Since your tests are within normal limits, you need ovulation induction therapy to induce ovulation under the guidance of your gynecologist.
If for burning feeling in the vagina, the local gel is not helping then a direct examination is needed to detect any septate hymen or narrow vaginal opening.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Thanks Dr. XXXXXXX

As i wrote i have polycystic ovaries, is it some problem? Do i ovulate normally? Would i need some treatment for pregnancy or will i be able to conceive normally without any further medical help.

Hello.
In polycystic ovaries, normal ovulation is not likely.
You need to take treatment for inducing ovulation to have a pregnancy. Please consult your gynecologist for the appropriate treatment.
Take care.
