One year ago, my periods started getting delayed to 35 or 38 days, but not more than that. I consulted a gynecologist who advised me to get a scan. After reviewing the scan report, I was diagnosed with PCOD. I experience pain on the right side when my period comes. The doctor did not prescribe any medication but told me to reduce my weight. I weighed 88 kg before and now I am 74 kg. My periods have become regular, coming every 30 or 31 days, but I am having heavy bleeding with large blood clots, feeling very weak, and experiencing pain on the right side. The heavy flow lasts for 4 to 5 days. Please help me understand what I should do about this problem. I am waiting for your reply.

You have made good progress managing PCOD with weight loss, and having regular cycles is a positive sign. However, heavy flow, clots, and fatigue could point to a hormonal imbalance or another menstrual related issue. A obgyn check up and a few basic tests can help understand the cause and guide the right treatment.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Doctor, an 8 year old girl has been suffering from fever, and her blood report shows a haemoglobin level of 10.1, a total leukocyte count of 3700, and a C reactive protein level of 22 mg per dL. I am concerned about these results and would like to know if this situation is an emergency.

My report shows lymphopenia. What does it mean? It is also mentioning mild anisocytosis with microcytic hypochromic cells.
