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've been using Krimson 35 pills for a week, starting from the 10th day after my period began, up until the 17th day. Then I stopped taking them and had unprotected sex. A week later, I noticed some bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is it just my irregular menstrual cycle acting up? What are the chances that I might be pregnant? Since my periods are usually pretty irregular, I'm feeling a bit anxious.
The bleeding you noticed could be breakthrough bleeding from stopping the Krimson 35 pills, rather than implantation bleeding, as it typically happens after ovulation and would usually occur around the time of your expected period. Given your irregular cycles, it's hard to determine your exact fertile window, but there's still a chance of pregnancy, so it's advisable to take a pregnancy test after a missed period or consult your doctor.

I'm 20 days postpartum after a normal delivery. My external stitches have dissolved, but the internal vaginal stitches haven't yet. How long does it typically take for these internal stitches to dissolve?
Typically, internal vaginal stitches from a normal delivery take around 4-6 weeks to dissolve, but can vary from 3-8 weeks; if you're concerned or experiencing discomfort, discharge, or other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider or obstetrician for a check-up and guidance.
