Question 1

I'm experiencing continuous bleeding three months after a normal delivery. Is this normal, or could there be an issue since it hasn't stopped at all? About 1.5 months in, the bleeding slowed down, but for the past six days, it's been like normal bleeding again. I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice or remedies. What could be the possible solutions?

Cremaffin Plus is a medication containing ispaghula husk and dicyclomine hydrochloride, used to treat anal fissures. The hunger pangs you're experiencing could be due to:

- _Dicyclomine hydrochloride_: This antispasmodic medication can stimulate appetite and increase hunger.
- _Ispaghula husk_: This fiber supplement can sometimes increase hunger and appetite, possibly due to its effect on gut hormones.

To manage hunger pangs:

- _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: To avoid overeating and manage hunger.
- _Choose fiber-rich foods_: Include fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's normal to have shortness of breath and chest tightness just before my period. It's something I've noticed happening and it's making me a bit anxious. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it generally harmless? Also, could you suggest which tests or checks I might need to consider?

Accepted Answer

It's not uncommon for some women to experience shortness of breath or chest tightness before their period due to hormonal changes. However, if these symptoms are severe or persistent, it's important to rule out other conditions. I would recommend starting with a physical exam and possibly tests like an ECG, chest X-ray, or blood work to ensure everything is fine.

Question 3

My wife is about 5.5 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound done. The doctor gave us an MTP Kit but we can't remember how were supposed to take it. With all the stuff happening because of COVID, we're really trying to avoid another visit to the hospital. Can you explain the steps for taking the MTP Kit?
