Question : can ipill be detected in ultrasound??

Answered by Dr. CS Narayan (5 minutes later)

Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

No, ipill cannot be detected by ultrasound scan.
It is a hormone which enters the blood from the gut to reach its target sites like any other tablet.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Regards.

how can the side effects of ipill be minimised once taken??

Answered by Dr. CS Narayan (1 hour later)

Thanks for the query.

The reported side effects of levonorgestrel (Active ingredient of ipill) are:

Nausea - avoid oily/strong aromatic foods
vomiting - eat in regular intervals rather than large meals
headache - avoid tv/loud music/outdoor noise
lower abdominal pain - drink lot of water
breasts tenderness - do not use analgesics
vaginal bleeding - nothing needed. Will stop.

i-pill might also cause your next period early or later than normal - if more than a week, you should go in for a pregnancy test and contact your doctor.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
