Did I miscarry or is it my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You know how long and heavy your typical period is. During a miscarriage, bleeding gets heavier and lasts longer than a period. As your cervix starts to dilate, cramping may become more painful than typical period cramping.

View allI've had cysts in both breasts for the last two months and they sometimes cause pain. Can you tell me if this can be treated with medication or if surgery is needed? Also, is it safe to try for pregnancy right now with this condition? I've attached my ultrasound and FNAC reports for reference
excision of the cyst is advised.

I'm really worried because I did a medical abortion back in December last year when I was 4 weeks pregnant. I went through all the bleeding and even passed tissues and clots. Afterward, I got my periods in February and March, and my home pregnancy tests are negative. But I've noticed my stomach is growing, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I don't have any complications or pregnancy symptoms, but ultrasound isn't an option for me right now due to some family issues. What could be causing this?
Possible Causes of Spleen Enlargement* 1. *Fatty liver*: Although your fatty liver is grade 1, it might be contributing to the spleen enlargement. 2. *Portal hypertension*: Elevated bilirubin (1.6) and liver enzymes (SGOTSGPT) could indicate portal hypertension, which can cause spleen enlargement. 3. *Other potential causes*: Although your tests were mostly normal, other possible causes of spleen enlargement include lymphoma, leukemia, or a spleen disorder. *Recommendations* 1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 2-3 months to monitor the spleen size. 2. *Liver health*: Continue with udiliv 300 and vitamin E to support liver health. 3. *Weight management*: Maintain your weight loss efforts, as excess weight can exacerbate fatty liver and spleen enlargement. 4. *Consult a gastroenterologist*: Seek a consultation with a gastroenterologist to further investigate the cause of spleen enlargement and fatty liver.

I'm 25 and my breasts haven't developed much at all. Is there any way to help them grow naturally without surgery? Should I do a video consultation with a gynecologist before deciding on treatment options?
It is important to accept the natural size and shape of your breasts. If you desire a change, breast augmentation surgery is an option. Avoid hormonal pills and creams that claim to increase breast size naturally. Consulting a doctor for any concerns or questions about breast size is the best approach
