I'm currently using Susten intravaginally as per my doctor's instructions, but it seems to be leaking out slowly. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?

Using Susten intravaginally can sometimes lead to leakage as the capsule dissolves. It is normal for some of the medication to come out. To minimize leakage, you can try lying down for 20-30 minutes after inserting the capsule. If the leakage is excessive or persistent, you can talk to your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation.

What age does a woman stop being fertile?

A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline becomes more rapid once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women.

I'm experiencing really low menstrual bleeding this month, not stopping completely though. It seems to only happen when I'm super active or during urination. I'm worried about what could be causing this. Any ideas?

Its possible that your low menstrual flow could be due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, or changes in your activity levels. It may also be linked to your recent health history, including any underlying conditions. If this continues or worsens, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation.
