Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.

View allI'm a bit concerned about the looseness I've noticed in the skin of my labia majora, and it's got me wondering about natural ways to tighten it without surgery, especially since I'm only 24.

Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning. _Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:_ 1. _Sunlight exposure_: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production. 2. _Fatty fish_: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3. 3. _Fortified foods_: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice. 4. _Mushrooms_: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3. 5. _Egg yolks_: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3. _Supplements:_ If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements. _Target levels:_ Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL. _Monitor progress:_ Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.

I'm 6 months pregnant and still dealing with nausea. I've been taking a doxinate tablet every other day, but on the days I skip it, I feel really nauseous. Now I've switched to taking half a tablet every day instead. Is that okay, or could it be harmful?

I've been dealing with constant pain in my lower back and lower abdomen since the end of September after lifting something heavy. It was really bad at first, and I had to stay in bed for about 45 days because moving was just too painful. Now I can get through my day-to-day activities, but its still uncomfortable. On top of this, my periods are now 11 days late, but my pregnancy test came back negative. I'm really worried and not sure what's going on. Could these issues be related somehow, and what should I do next?
