Hi. I have taken medications one by one. First, I had severe skin problems with pimples. I took three months of treatment, and now the pimples are cleared using medicines and creams. Second, I gained weight suddenly, and my periods became irregular. My blood test showed increased thyroid levels, so I took medicines for that. Next, I am not sure what effects these medicines may have had on me. Now I am thinking about how my skin will look as I get older after stopping these medicines. I need a suggestion to maintain my health in a good way without using any medication?

Long term side effects vary depending on the type of medicines. Stopping after short term use usually causes no harm. Adopt a healthy lifestyle to maintain skin and hormonal balance.

I am on the fourth day of my period, but I am still feeling nauseous. I took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. I am experiencing extreme restlessness, high stress, and anxiety, and I am unable to sleep properly. Occasionally, I get chills. My mind keeps racing with unrealistic thoughts that I know cannot happen, but I cannot control them.

I am experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. I have been tested for infections and had blood tests, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
