I had dengue right after my last period. Now I got my period 3 ro 4 days late, but it was mostly brown and very light. It lasted only 3 to 4 hours and then I had spotting for 1 day. The pregnancy test is negative. Is this a concern?

After dengue, it is common to have delayed or light periods due to weakness and hormonal changes in the body. Brown spotting for a short time can still count as a period. Since your pregnancy test is negative, there is no need to worry. Maintain hydration, eat a nutritious diet, and give your body time to recover. If your periods continue to be irregular for the next few months, you can book a Thyroid Profile and CBC to check recovery and hormonal balance.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

View allMy period is 10 days late. I tried a pregnancy test kit and it showed negative. I tried a beta HCG test and that was also negative. But I have symptoms like vomiting, frequent urination, tiredness, and leg pain. Could someone guide me on this?

My last period was in the first week of September. I had sex the next week and took an I pill within 48 hours, after which I spotted a few drops of brown blood after five days. I missed my period in October. This month, my period started 10 days late with pink blood accompanied by a transparent sticky discharge. The blood darkened on the second day. This period began with severe lower back pain, left stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, dizziness, a racing heart at night, and nausea. I took a home pregnancy test a week ago, which was negative. I was examined physically, but the doctor was not sure about pregnancy.

Hello, I am a 27 year old unmarried female. I had TB and asthma in December and completed treatment in June. I also received COVID vaccinations. Since then, I have been experiencing lighter periods that start about 5 days before my expected cycle (my cycle is 28 days). After taking ginger, jaggery, turmeric, and milk, my flow becomes normal. I am also taking vitamins and protein powder. Previously, I had no menstrual problems. My recent blood reports are: Bilirubin: 0.6 mg/dl Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dl RBC: 4.58 million/microlitre Platelets: 325,000/cmm TLC: 7000 Serum protein: 8 g/dl ESR: 45 mm HIV: Non reactive Blood glucose: 91 mg/dl Serum IgE: 61.2 IU/ml Please suggest what could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle.
