Prolonged Bleeding After Light Period Start – Is Nexamic 500 Safe to Use?

\Since your period has extended unusually and started with spotting, it could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, travel, or a temporary cycle shift.

Nexamic 500 (tranexamic acid) is generally used to reduce heavy or prolonged bleeding, and it’s safe for short-term use if you have no history of clotting disorders. However, it’s always better to take it under a guidance of gynecologist, especially if bleeding continues beyond 2–3 days of medication.

As for the gym and weight lifting, light to moderate exercise is usually fine, but heavy workouts can increase strain and may slightly impact bleeding. It's best to avoid intense weight lifting until your bleeding settles.

If the bleeding continues for more than 12–14 days or gets heavier, please seek local medical care as it may need further evaluation.

गर्भधारण रोकने के लिए घरेलू उपाय के बाद वेजाइना में जलन, दर्द और पेशाब में खून – क्या करें?

आपके लक्षण — वेजाइना में जलन, दर्द, और टॉयलेट करते समय खून आना — संभावित रूप से यूरीनरी ट्रैक्ट इन्फेक्शन (UTI) या किसी आंतरिक संक्रमण की ओर इशारा कर सकते हैं। घरेलू नुस्खे जैसे काढ़ा या पपीता प्रेग्नेंसी रोकने का सुरक्षित तरीका नहीं हैं, और ये शरीर को नुकसान भी पहुँचा सकते हैं। आपको तुरंत डॉक्टर या गायनोकॉलजिस्ट से मिलना चाहिए। वे यूरिन टेस्ट या अन्य जांच करके सही इलाज बताएंगे। देर करने से इंफेक्शन बढ़ सकता है, इसलिए खुद इलाज न करें। भविष्य में, प्रेग्नेंसी रोकने के लिए सुरक्षित और मेडिकल रूप से प्रमाणित तरीकों का ही उपयोग करें (जैसे कंडोम या इमरजेंसी पिल)।

Can Childhood Stitches Reopen While Trekking at Age 19?

If the stitches were from your childhood and the wound healed completely, there’s no risk of them reopening now—the skin and tissues would have fully recovered.
You can safely go trekking, but if you feel pain or notice weakness at the old injury site, consider getting it checked once from dermatologist before your trip. Otherwise, you're good to go!

Wrist Cut Healing with Yellow Coating – Is It Infected?

The yellow layer on your wound could be a normal part of healing (called a fibrin layer), but it can also indicate mild infection if it looks thick, has a bad smell, or is painful.
Since it's not looking good to you, it’s best to keep the area clean, avoid touching it often, and consult a dermatologist to check if you need an antibiotic or proper wound care.
Continue applying Cipladine if advised, but don’t ignore any signs of redness, swelling, or pus.

Follow-Up on Azithromycin: Still Breathless and Congested – Need Guidance

Mild breathlessness and chest congestion persisting for 3 days, even while on Azithromycin, should be monitored closely. It may indicate a lingering infection or another underlying issue. I recommend a physical examination and possibly a chest X-ray or further tests. Please consult your cardiologist for treatment after correct evaluation.

Elderly Back Pain and Loss of Balance: What Could Be the Cause?

Your grandmother’s imbalance and tongue sensation may be due to nerve issues, side effects of medication, or a minor neurological problem. Since she's already on treatment, it's best to consult a neurologist for a detailed check-up to find the exact cause.

How to Get Rid of Melasma and Pigmentation Effectively

To get rid of melasma and pigmentation, focus on a consistent skincare routine and medical guidance. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent worsening. Topical creams with ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid can help lighten dark spots. For deeper pigmentation, treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling may be recommended by a dermatologist. Always consult a skin specialist before starting any treatment to ensure it's right for your skin type. With patience and the right care, pigmentation can be reduced effectively.

TMJ on Left Side with Full-Body Numbness: What’s the Real Cause?

While TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can cause facial pain, jaw stiffness, and sometimes radiating discomfort to the neck and head, numbness and tingling from head to toe on one side suggest involvement beyond just TMJ.

Since your brain CT and MRI are normal, the issue may lie in the nerves outside the brain, possibly from the cervical spine (neck area) or peripheral nerves. Sometimes, nerve compression, postural imbalances, or even functional neurological disorders can present like this.

You should consult a neurologist and also, a maxillofacial specialist or physiotherapist familiar with TMJ can help manage jaw-related symptoms.

Chronic Left-Sided Numbness and Nerve Pulling: What Could Be the Cause?

It sounds like you're experiencing long-term nerve-related symptoms despite normal MRI and CT scans. This could be due to peripheral nerve issues, muscle imbalances, postural problems, or even central sensitization—where the nervous system becomes overly reactive over time.

Acupuncture giving some relief suggests the issue might be functional or nerve-related rather than structural.
I recommend consulting a neurologist as issues in the cervical or lumbar spine can also cause these symptoms.

Meanwhile, continue gentle physical therapy, maintain hydration, and avoid long periods in one position.

Why Is My Leg Itching with Red Dots?

Itchy legs with red spots could be due to an allergic reaction, insect bites, fungal infection, or skin irritation.
Avoid scratching, keep the area clean, and apply a mild moisturizer or anti-itch cream.
If the spots spread, become painful, or don't improve in a few days, consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Lump on Scrotal Skin: Is It Serious and Can It Be Treated?

A lump on the skin of your scrotal sack is often harmless—like a sebaceous cyst or ingrown hair—but it’s important to get it checked. Most skin lumps are treatable and do not affect the testicles directly. However, if the lump grows, becomes painful, or you notice changes in your testicles, consult a sexologist immediately. Early diagnosis ensures proper treatment and rules out anything serious.

Periods Stopped After 3 Regular Cycles – Can I Reuse Meptare for PCOD?

It’s good that Meptare helped initially, but periods stopping again could mean your hormones need reevaluation.
Do not restart Meptare on your own, as repeated use without guidance may affect your cycle or health.
Please consult your gynecologist again—they might need to adjust your treatment based on your current condition.
PCOD often needs lifestyle changes along with medication for long-term balance.

I have a boil I think it have pus coming out but very little but the smell is unpleasant what can I do

A boil with pus and an unpleasant smell likely indicates an infection. Avoid squeezing it, and apply warm compresses to help it drain naturally. Keep the area clean, covered, and wash hands before touching it. If the smell worsens or you feel feverish, consult a dermatologist promptly.
