My mother is 51 years old and has been experiencing heavy bleeding for more than 20 days. The heavy bleeding was temporarily controlled with Tranostat tablets prescribed by the doctor, but the bleeding does not stop completely within 7 days, and when it does stop, her next period starts again within 3 weeks. Her haemoglobin level is 9.2, and her weight is 58 kg. Uterus scan and thyroid tests showed no abnormalities. What should be done further to stop this bleeding? The doctor mentioned that D and C may not help in stopping the bleeding, but they can be done if needed. Is a hysterectomy (removing the uterus) the only option?

At 51, your mother is likely near menopause, and heavy bleeding can occur due to hormonal changes even if the scan and thyroid are normal. Since her hemoglobin is low (9.2), treatment is needed to prevent further weakness. If medicines like Tranostat are not helping, your doctor may suggest D and C to check the uterine lining and stop the bleeding temporarily. Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is an option if bleeding continues despite medication and D and C. You can book a CBC and Pelvic Ultrasound (if not done recently) before the next consultation.

Four days ago, suddenly at midnight, I developed full body red rashes and itching. I consulted a doctor, and they said it was due to a food allergy. I had no fever, headache, or joint pain that day. My CBC blood report was normal, but my fingers and palms were slightly swollen. I have been continuing the prescribed medicines for the last four days. It is improving day by day compared to previous days. Today is the fifth day. After taking medicine, the itching and rashes go away for the full day, but every evening, I get very mild rashes and itching. Is this okay for now? Will it take time to cure? How many more days should I continue the medicine? Now I feel some pain in two or three fingers on my hand. Is this joint pain? I am scared about dengue or chikungunya. Is there anything to worry about? Please advise.

Sir, I received my report from Thyrocare showing an eosinophil count of 10.5, which is higher than the normal range of around 5 to 6. I am very worried because I read articles mentioning cancer and acute leukemia. Two months ago, my eosinophil count was 4.2, and now it has increased. Is this very serious, or is there still hope to get better? Please suggest what I should do
