I'm 25 and recently got the Nexplanon implant last May. I've never tried birth control before, so I was kind of expecting my body to take some time adjusting to the hormones. Lately, though, I've been feeling more irritable, anxious, and just emotionally all over the place. A friend mentioned trying Ashwagandha to help balance my hormones and reduce my stress. But I'm kind of worriedwould taking this herbal supplement mess with how well the implant works?

I'm around five weeks pregnant and started having cramps yesterday, followed by bleeding that feels like a period. I'm concerned because I also had some tissue-like clot discharge and the bleeding hasn't slowed down. Is this something I should be worried about? Could you help me understand what's happening?

The symptoms you're experiencing, including cramps, bleeding, and a tissue-like clot discharge, are concerning and may indicate a miscarriage; immediately consult your obstetrician or visit the emergency room for a thorough evaluation, including an ultrasound, to confirm the status of your pregnancy and receive appropriate guidance and care.

is a hemoglobin level of 9.1 okay for fibroid surgery next week? what's the fastest way to increase hemoglobin levels before the procedure?

OR will a hemoglobin of 9.1 cause issues for my upcoming fibroid surgery? need tips to raise it fast

A hemoglobin level of 9.1 might be too low for a planned fibroid surgery next week. It's generally considered safe to have a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL before surgery to minimize complications related to blood loss, according to some medical sources. Raising hemoglobin levels quickly can be done by incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet, potentially taking iron supplements (with doctor's approval), and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and folate intake, according to some healthcare websites.

The rabies vaccination is highly effective in preventing rabies in humans. *Duration of Protection* The duration of protection offered by the rabies vaccination can vary depending on several factors, including the type of vaccine used and the individual's immune response. Generally, a booster dose is recommended every 2-5 years for people who are at high risk of exposure, such as laboratory workers, veterinarians, and animal handlers . *Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis* Yes, the rabies vaccination can be taken before exposure, a process known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This is recommended for people who are at high risk of exposure, such as travelers to areas where rabies is common, laboratory workers, and animal handlers . *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis* If you are bitten or exposed to rabies, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is necessary. PEP consists of immediate wound cleaning, administration of rabies immune globulin (RIG), and a series of rabies vaccinations . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
