I'm a bit worried because my period is late by 4 days this month, even though they've been regular before. Last month, my period started on September 2nd, but I had dengue then and maybe because of the fever or weakness, my flow was really low. Do you think there's something wrong or should I be concerned? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

It's not uncommon for your menstrual cycle to be slightly delayed after an illness like dengue, as it can affect your hormones and overall health. If the delay is only a few days and there are no other concerning symptoms, it should be okay, but if the delay continues or you experience unusual symptoms, it might be worth consulting your doctor for reassurance.

I'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?
