Question 1

My wife just had a miscarriage, and we're trying to figure out how long we should wait before thinking about getting pregnant again. Also, is there a usual timeframe for when her period will come back? Is it something like 10 days after the procedure or later? We're just a bit concerned and would love some guidance.

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I'm really worried about my wife. We had unprotected sex and she took an unwanted 72 pill within 24 hours. Since then, she's been dealing with some intense abdominal cramps and says she feels pain and inflammation in her vaginal area when she urinates. There's also a white fluid discharge. What's going on? Can you suggest any medications or what we should do next? Were really concerned here.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing some side effects from taking the emergency contraceptive pill. The heavy abdominal cramps, pain and inflammation in the vaginal area, and the white fluid could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the pill. To help with the symptoms, she can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to alleviate the abdominal cramps and pain. Additionally, she can use a topical cream containing clotrimazole to help with the inflammation and any potential yeast infection that may be causing the white discharge. I recommend she consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I've been taking Meprate for 5 days, twice a day, but it's been 15 days since I stopped and I still haven't gotten my period. I have PCOD and my prolactin level is 0.32. The pregnancy test was negative. Can you help me understand why Im not getting my period? I'm getting really worried.

your body might have not received enough dose, visit Gynaecologist for one more cycle of tablets.
