I'm usually pretty regular with my menstrual cycle, like 30 to 32 days. But this month, I'm 18 days late, and I'm not sure why. I've done both urine and blood pregnancy tests, and they're negative. I'm not stressed or on any meds, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this? What should I do next?

Given your regular 30-32 day menstrual cycle and negative pregnancy tests, the missed period could be due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalance, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions; other potential causes include weight changes, travel, or environmental factors; consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation

View allI'm currently pregnant and dealing with some diarrhea. I've heard about Lactic Acid Bacillus and I'm wondering if it's safe for me and the baby. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Given your father's medical report and ongoing symptoms, here are some suggestions for further action: *Medication Review* 1. *Re-evaluate current medication*: Consult your father's doctor to review his current medication regimen. Adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication might help alleviate symptoms. 2. *Combination therapy*: Consider combining medications, such as alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., Finasteride), to address both urinary symptoms and prostate enlargement. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Fluid management*: Encourage your father to drink fluids in moderation, avoiding excessive intake, especially before bedtime. 2. *Urination habits*: Suggest that your father: - Urinate when he first feels the need, rather than delaying. - Take his time while urinating to ensure the bladder is fully emptied. - Avoid straining or pushing during urination. 3. *Pelvic floor exercises*: Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving urinary control. 4. *Dietary modifications*: Encourage your father to avoid or reduce: - Caffeine and spicy foods, which can irritate the bladder. - Foods high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, which can exacerbate prostate issues. *Further Evaluation* 1. *Urodynamic tests*: These tests can help assess bladder function, urine flow, and pressure. 2. *Cystoscopy*: A visual examination of the bladder and urethra to rule out any obstruction or other issues. 3. *Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test*: To monitor prostate health and detect any potential issues.

I'm 29 and married, dealing with PCOD. I'm not on any treatment at the moment, but my periods have been irregular and I haven't had one since February. I'm trying to lose weight but haven't seen much progress. I'm feeling really stressed about all this. What should I do?
Considering your PCOD, irregular periods, and weight loss struggles, consult a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include hormonal medications, fertility treatments, and lifestyle modifications, such as a personalized diet and exercise plan, stress management techniques, and possibly medications like Metformin to regulate your menstrual cycle and improve insulin sensitivity

So, I had a condom break on me and took a Plan B right after it happened. But I'm kinda worried because I took a laxative a couple of hours before, and I'm actually in my ovulating window. Should I be concerned about how effective the Plan B will be this time?
yes
