Question 1

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

Question 2

I'm really stressed out because I was supposed to get my period around the time of my surgery, but it hasn't happened. I've been worried about the extraction for about a week. Then, I picked up a cough and cold, along with some digestive issues, and had to take a few antibiotics and steroids. I've never missed a period before, and I'm still a virgin, so this is freaking me out a bit. The last time I had my period was around May 15th. Should I be concerned about this delay? What could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Elevated Total Bilirubin Level (2.9)

_Interpretation and Recommendations_

1. _Mild elevation_: A total bilirubin level of 2.9 is slightly elevated, but still within a relatively mild range.
2. _Possible causes_: Elevated bilirubin can be caused by various factors, such as:
    - Liver dysfunction or inflammation
    - Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
    - Bile duct obstruction
    - Medication side effects
3. _Next steps_:
    - _Repeat the test_: To confirm the elevated bilirubin level and rule out laboratory errors.
    - _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Schedule a follow-up test to assess liver function and identify potential underlying causes.
    - _Medical evaluation_: Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine the best course of action.

_Mildly Elevated Bilirubin Levels Typically Don't Require Immediate Attention_

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took 2 Zandu Parad tablets a few weeks ago, and I'm currently one month pregnant. The tablets have mercury 30 mg and Khatika 60 mg in them. They're usually used in households for things like protecting grains. I haven't had any symptoms or felt unwell, but I'm concerned about any potential effects on my baby. Could there be any risks or side effects from this? Would love some advice on what I should do next.

Accepted Answer

if you have consumed it 20 days ago and now pregnant since one month(ie your last periods was around 12th of April I guess) then nothing to worry much as baby wasn't formed yet 20 days ago.. and moreover you consumed safe limit of mercury so only you dint have any symptoms.. if you still have worry then your usg at 10-12weeks wil tel if baby is normal or not as by then all parts of you baby will be formed well..if your stil anxious then consult your physician and obstetrician once..
