I've been eating raw rice for the past three months, and I'm not sure why I started. I've noticed since then that my period has become irregular, sometimes lasting 10 to 15 days, though it's in small amounts and has a brown color. Could eating raw rice be causing these changes? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's going on.

There is no relation between eating raw rice and having dysmenorrhea (abnormal or prolonged periods). You should consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation of your dysmenorrhea and its cause. Eating raw rice can cause constipation and gastric difficulties, but does not relate in any way to prolonged periods.

View allI had unprotected sex last night and now I'm noticing slight blood clots in my urine and mucus. My vagina didnt naturally lubricate, and that's never been an issue before. I haven't found any friction marks. I also took the morning-after pill and have been having this brownish discharge today. My period's supposed to start next week, but I know the emergency pill can mess with that. What's going on with the bleeding?
The slight blood clots in your urine and mucus, along with brownish discharge, could be due to several factors, including urinary tract irritation, vaginal dryness, or a possible urinary tract infection (UTI); however, given your recent unprotected sex and morning-after pill intake, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist to rule out any sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other complications, and to receive guidance on managing your symptoms and adjusting to any changes in your menstrual cycle.

I'm three months pregnant and just had my NT and dual marker screening, and the results are showing a high risk for trisomy 21. I'm really worried about what this means and how it might affect my baby. Can you help me understand this better?
A high-risk result for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) from your NT and dual marker tests is concerning, but it's essential to understand that it's a screening test, not a diagnostic test; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, and they may recommend further testing, such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of action.

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.
