Question 1

I've missed my periods for the last 3 months, and last month I only had some small brown clots or discharge that lasted about 3-4 days. My cycle has always been kind of irregular, and I remember something similar happened a couple of years ago. Back then, my doctor gave me Ergest LD, and I got my period after 5 days. Could something different be causing this now, and should I be really worried about it?

Accepted Answer

consult gynecologist

Question 2

So I had a scan at 8 weeks, and they saw an empty sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole. I've just done a repeat scan, and now there's a yolk sac measuring 3.5mm. Should I just hang in there a bit longer, or does this mean it's not going to work out? Is there any chance things might turn around? My last menstrual period was on November 24, 2020.

_Persistent Fever: Next Steps and Zocef Evaluation_

Given your symptoms, it's essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

_Zocef (Cefuroxime) Evaluation:_

1. Zocef is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, effective against bacterial infections.
2. Since your throat pain and cold have subsided, the antibiotic might be targeting a underlying bacterial infection.

_Recommended Actions:_

1. _Complete the antibiotic course_: Finish the prescribed Zocef course to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
2. _Monitor fever and phlegm_: Keep track of your temperature and phlegm production. If fever persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
3. _Consider additional tests_: If fever persists, your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as a chest X-ray or blood cultures, to rule out other conditions.
4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids to help your body recover.

_Consult Your Doctor If:_

1. Fever persists or exceeds 103F (39.4C).
2. Phlegm production increases or becomes discolored.
3. You experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe headache.

By completing the antibiotic course and monitoring your symptoms, you'll be able to effectively manage your condition and prevent potential complications.

Question 3

I'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?

Accepted Answer

Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.

I've had protected sex with my partner and she got her period the next day, but it came 10 days earlier than usual. It's been about 30 hours now and she's not bleeding anymore. Is there a chance she could be pregnant? I'm a bit worried and just want to understand what's going on.
