Question 1

Why do periods change dates?

Accepted Answer

Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I haven't gotten my periods for the last 45 days. Is there a tablet I can take to help start my period, something that doesn't have side effects?

Accepted Answer

Concerning symptoms.

Possible causes:

1. *Viral infection* (e.g., flu, common cold)
2. *Musculoskeletal issues* (e.g., muscle strain, arthritis)
3. *Circulatory problems* (e.g., poor blood flow, deep vein thrombosis)
4. *Other medical conditions* (e.g., anemia, hypothyroidism)

Immediate actions:

1. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.
2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages.
3. *Pain management*: Consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
4. *Monitor symptoms*: Keep track of your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.

Consult a doctor if:

1. *Symptoms persist*: Fever, pain, or dizziness last more than 2-3 days.
2. *Severe symptoms*: Difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache.
3. *Underlying conditions*: If you have a pre-existing medical condition or concern.

Question 3

I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?

Accepted Answer

It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out if a blood pressure reading of 10080 is normal, especially since I've heard that during pregnancy, blood pressure can be lower. Also, I'm only experiencing spotting, but my home pregnancy test came back negative. Today's the 38th day of my cycle. What could be going on?
