Considering your PCOD, irregular periods, and weight loss struggles, consult a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include hormonal medications, fertility treatments, and lifestyle modifications, such as a personalized diet and exercise plan, stress management techniques, and possibly medications like Metformin to regulate your menstrual cycle and improve insulin sensitivity

I'm dealing with a polyp in my uterus and it's causing irregular periods and spotting. It gets especially bad when I run or feel stressed. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to help this situation?

Consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and discussion of treatment options for the uterine polyp, which may include watchful waiting, hormonal medications, or surgical removal via polypectomy or dilation and curettage (D&C); in the meantime, your doctor may recommend hormone-regulating medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to manage symptoms like irregular periods and spotting.

I'm really concerned about my episiotomyit still causes me pain, even though it's been three years since I gave birth. It's particularly uncomfortable during my periods and when I'm having intercourse. Should I be worried that this pain hasn't gone away, and is there anything I can do to relieve it?

Episiotomy incision involves the wall of the vagina. Generally, the wall of the vagina is strong, but post surgical intervention, it may weaken. It is important to maintain vaginal wall muscle strength through Kegel's Exercises. Do these everyday to improve muscle strength. If the pain persists, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation.
