Do you lose weight after your period?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It's normal to have some weight gain before or during your period due to hormonal fluctuations, water retention and food cravings. Generally, it will go away a few days after your period starts which seems like you lost weight after period.

  1. Weight Changes and Menstruation:

    • It's common for women to experience weight fluctuations related to their menstrual cycle.
    • Water Retention: Before and during menstruation, water retention can cause temporary weight gain.
  2. Post-Menstruation Weight Loss:

    • After menstruation, the body often sheds excess fluid, leading to a slight weight decrease.
    • This is not fat loss but a reduction in water weight.
  3. Normal Fluctuations:

    • These changes are normal and part of the hormonal cycle.
    • If you notice significant or sudden weight changes, consult a healthcare provider.

I found out I have a right ovarian lesion with fat calcific spec and hemorrhagic foci, possibly a dermoid cyst. Should I be worried about this? Is surgery necessary or can it resolve on its own? What are my options here?

A right ovarian lesion with calcification could indicate a benign dermoid cyst, but it’s essential to monitor it. Surgery may be recommended if it's causing discomfort or growing, but often these cysts resolve on their own without intervention.

I've recently gotten engaged and I'm kind of worried because every time I meet my fianc, I end up getting really wet down there. It's a bit embarrassing sometimes because it even wets through my panties. It's an arranged marriage, so we haven't been intimate yet. Is this normal, or should I talk to a gynecologist about it? Is there anything I can do to reduce the wetness? It's making me feel a bit uncomfortable. Any advice would really help.

It's normal only it's physiological Don't worry
