Why Am I Having Prolonged Heavy Periods?

Patient's Query

Hai doctor My name is sushma.i am getting periods since 15 days continuously.i am changing pads 2 to 3 daily.i want to know the reason .

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Sometimes hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or even polyps in the uterus can cause prolonged periods. In fact, stress or changes in weight can play a role too. I recommend you see a gynecologist to get a proper evaluation. They might suggest tests like blood work or an ultrasound to pinpoint the exact cause. In the meantime, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Can i prepone my periods due to my exams

Female | 16

It is not recommended that you delay your periods as it can be harmful to your health. Attempts to control your menstrual cycle can result in hormonal disbalance and hence irregular periods. Talk to your gynecologist

I visited a dentist today. It was just a normal checkup. No surgery or any other procedure. The doctor used her magnifying glass instrument to check my oral region and then used a suction pull. Nothing else was used. This process lasted for 3-4 minutes. I have fear that what if the instrument was not cleaned properly and then used on me. Can I get HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from it. Also I have health anxiety

Male | 19

The possibility of catching HIV, He­patitis, Herpes or HPV from ordinary dental visits is low be­cause dentists rigorously maintain sanitation protocols. Nonethe­less, if there's any discomfort or worry, it'll be­ beneficial to fix a mee­ting with your regular doctor for some blood test or have a consultation with a spe­cialist in infectious diseases.

Many men with cystic fibrosis have fertility issues due to blocked or absent vas deferens. However, with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, it's possible for couples to conceive. Discuss options with a fertility specialist.

I had an intimacy last week Wednesday and evening I took Lydia contraceptive, Friday I took just one tablet of postinor 2 .. Yesterday was my ovulation day and I saw blood spots it's not yet time for me to menstruate does it mean am pregnant

Female | 20

Spotting doesn't nece­ssarily indicate pregnancy. Emerge­ncy contraceptives can disrupt your menstrual cycle­, leading to irregular blee­ding. This stems from hormonal fluctuations within your body. Wait for your period before­ panicking. If it doesn't arrive, take a pre­gnancy test for reassurance or talk to your gynecologist.

I have a pimple inside of labia (vagina)it is causing irritation. please provide medicnes for this

Female | 26

Pimples in this area can happen to any of us due to sweat, poor hygiene, or ingrown hair. You can use a warm compress on it a few times a day. Moreover, donning some loose cotton panties is yet another thing that can assist one avoid irritation. If it does not vanish or becomes worse, you should avoid touching it. It will only make things worse. Prompt medical attention should be given if it does not heal.

I am 19 year old female...I had unprotected sex on 27 April for the first time and within 45 min I took the unwanted 72 tablet and my periods are 3 days delay so when will my periods come??

Female | 19

Emergency contraception like Plan B can throw your cycle off whack because of all the hormones it contains. It should only be a few days late. And if it doesn’t show up within another week or two, and feel free to take that pregnancy test.
