I've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Irregular periods can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms and may suggest lifestyle changes, medication, or further tests to help regulate your cycle. It's important to address this issue for your overall well-being.

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?
Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,

I'm dealing with an intense itching sensation in the area between my vagina and anus, and it's been going on for about a month now. It's really hard to stop scratching and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Could you guide me on what might be causing this or suggest what I should do?
Itching between the vagina and anus can have many causes, including: Skin conditions: Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and lichen simplex chronicus can all cause itching. Irritants: Sweat, tight clothing, soaps, perfumes, detergents, and razor burn can all irritate the skin. Allergies: An allergic reaction to something in your environment can cause itching. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Genital herpes, genital warts, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can all cause itching. Pinworms: These parasitic worms can cause intense itching at night when females lay their eggs around the anus. Yeast infection: A yeast infection in the vagina or anus can cause itching. Fecal contamination: Contact with fecal material can cause itching. consult dermatologist
