Question 1

My periods are 20 days late and I need them to start within a day or two because I have LASIK eye surgery in 4 days. I'll be on heavy meds and want my period before the procedure. What can I do to make it come sooner?

Accepted Answer

It won't come so soon You need 5 days dosage following which period will come in 7-10 days

Question 2

I'm usually on a 30-day cycle and have PCOD. I've been going through fertility treatment and started taking Duphaston from the 16th day. My period was due on the 5th, and now it's the 12th, but I still haven't gotten it. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Should I stop taking Duphaston, or is there a chance I'll get my period while still on it?

Accepted Answer

Best would be to consult gynaecologist who is treating. Otherwise wait for one more week for periods then repeat pregnancy test with morning sample urine, if negative then stop Duphaston.

Question 3

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I just did my glucose tolerance test. My results came back showing that my fasting glucose is 79 mgdL, the 1-hour test is 219 mgdL, the 2-hour test is 192 mgdL, and the 3-hour test is 181 mgdL. My doctor suggested I start taking metformin tablets. I'm concerned about how this might affect my baby. Could you please help me understand if there's any potential impact on my baby from taking this medication?

Interpreting dengue test results can be complex.

_Test results:_

1. _NS1- Weakly positive_: Indicates possible early infection or low-level viral load.
2. _IgM- Negative_: Suggests no recent infection or inadequate immune response.
3. _IgG- Negative_: Indicates no past infection or immunity.

_Treatment approach:_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your test results with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
2. _Monitor symptoms_: Keep track of your symptoms, such as fever, headache, or joint pain.
3. _Supportive care_: Focus on relieving symptoms, such as:
    - Resting and staying hydrated.
    - Managing fever with medication (e.g., paracetamol).
    - Avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen.
4. _Follow-up testing_: Your doctor may recommend repeat testing to confirm the diagnosis or monitor your condition.

_When to seek immediate attention:_

1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe headache, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal pain.
2. _Bleeding or bruising_: If you notice unusual bleeding or bruising.
3. _Deteriorating condition_: If your symptoms worsen or you experience severe fatigue, vomiting, or diarrhea.
