Question 1

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person.

Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms.

However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years.

In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon.

Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced.

It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.

Question 2

I've been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 months and even saw a doctor back in April. All my blood tests came back normal, and I've been taking folic acid cor3 and amycordial syrup for a couple of months now. My period was 3 days late this time, and I really thought I might be pregnant, but then I noticed a brown discharge in the morning with some white clots. The blood flow seems really thick. I'm just wondering what could be going on and if there's anything I should be doing differently?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes even in normal individuals due to action of anticoagulants in the body during heavy menstrual bleeding clots can be seen.....apart from this clots and discharge can be seen in certain uterine abnormality like fibroids in uterus,adenomyosis, endometriosis or hormonal imbalance like thyroid hormone imbalance or oestrogen-progestrone imbalance might also be a cause.this things need investigations like transvaginal ultrasound to ruleout the uterine abnormality. Hormone profile to ruleout any imbalance and most of the times the condition is treatable. So kindly consult a gynecologist for further management to ruleout this things.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've noticed some dark blue veins showing up on my breast, and there's been some pain too. I'm not married, but I do have a boyfriend and we're sexually active. My last period was on December 23rd, so I'm really confused about why this is happening. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

mastitis and thrombophlebitis of the breast veins should be ruled out consult surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been using misoprostol and started bleeding about 2 hours afterward. It kept going but today, the bleeding's really reduced. Should I be worried and see a doctor, or is it okay to wait it out a bit longer?
