I'm on my 8th day of bleeding, and my periods usually last just 4 days. This time, I've had clots for 4 days and then light bleeding for the next 4 days. It's day 8 now, and I'm getting a bit concerned. Is there any medication I should consider taking?

Frequent Bowel Movements and TB Diagnosis
Normal Bowel Movement Frequency
- 3-4 times a day is considered normal.
- 5-6 times a day may indicate an issue, such as:
- Gastrointestinal infection
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
TB Diagnosis Concerns
- TB diagnosis requires confirmation: A single symptom, like frequent bowel movements, is not enough to confirm TB.
- Additional tests are necessary: Your doctor should have ordered additional tests, such as:
- Stool tests
- Blood tests
- Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, CT scans)
- Endoscopy or colonoscopy
Next Steps
- Seek a second opinion: Consult another doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
- Request additional testing: Ensure that all necessary tests are conducted to confirm or rule out TB.
- Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss test results and determine the best course of action.

View allI'm really worried about my irregular periods. Earlier this year, a doctor had me do a PCOD panel test, and while all my levels looked fine, the ultrasound showed Im slightly polycystic. I was on Meprate and then APCODOBIS for a couple of months, and they helped with my periods. But the moment I stopped, the irregularity came back. I'm also quite heavy for my age, weighing around 98 kgs, and I'm 5.5 tall. I know I need to focus on exercising and eating right, but my job has been so hectic that it's been tough to fit in time for that. Now, I'm ready to get serious about this. Could you give me some advice on how I can get my period this month and shed some weight over time?
