Question 1

Hey, I've been having this weird situation with my period for the last two months. It just doesn't stop properly. It halts for like two days and then starts again with either a little spotting or suddenly, these heavy clots show up. Itll be calm for 23 days and then bam, its like were back to the beginning. To manage this, I've been taking Styplon Himalaya, and it seems to work until it doesn't because as soon as I stop, the cycle starts all over again. Could you please suggest what might be happening or what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged bleeding or irregular cycles for two months is abnormal and requires medical attention.
The underlying cause could be hormonal imbalances, structural issues (like fibroids or polyps), or an infection.
A gynecologist will be able to conduct tests and determine the appropriate treatment to address the cause of your irregular bleeding.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my baby's growth since the scan at 30 weeks and 5 days showed a weight of 1265 grams with a variation of 185 grams. The report mentioned 28 weeks and 6 days with mild IUGR. I've started on argipreg sachets and alamine forte twice daily, and I'm trying to eat as well as I canmilk with protein powder, three eggs, dry fruits, curd, coconut water, and fresh fruits every day. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Accepted Answer

Your TSH levels have increased from 4.04 to 6.95.

_TSH Interpretation_

1. _Normal range_: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
2. _Your result_: 6.95 UmL (elevated)

_Elevated TSH Indicates_

1. _Hypothyroidism_: Your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones.
2. _Thyroid gland dysfunction_: The increase in TSH suggests that your thyroid gland is not functioning optimally.

_Consult a Doctor_

1. _Endocrinologist_: A specialist who deals with hormonal imbalances and thyroid disorders.
2. _Primary Care Physician (PCP)_:
    - If you don't have an endocrinologist, start with your PCP.
    - They'll evaluate your results, medical history, and perform a physical examination.

_Seriousness_

1. _Mild hypothyroidism_: Your TSH level is mildly elevated, which might not require immediate attention.
2. _Monitoring and treatment_: However, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of action and prevent potential complications.

Please schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist or your PCP to discuss your test results and determine the next steps.

Question 3

I've used regestrone before to push back my periods, but I need some clarity on the right dosage. Last time, I think I was told to take one tablet a day starting three days before the period, but I'm uncertain about it. I've also read that some people take it three times a day. What's the recommended dosage for delaying periods?

Accepted Answer

To delay your periods, the recommended dosage of Regestrone (Norethisterone) is usually one tablet three times a day, starting 3 days before the expected date of your period. This regimen is typically continued until you are ready to have your period. So, the total daily dosage would be three tablets of Regestrone per day, taken at regular intervals. Remember to consult your Gynecologist before starting any new medication.

Will 7 inches hit the cervix?

For starters, the cervix cannot be "penetrated" during sex. There is no way for a penis or sex toy to pass through the External Os because it's just too narrow.
