Why have I been on periods for 20 days?

Patient's Query

I am on periods from last 20 days

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Prolonged periods can be caused by various factors like hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, polycystic ovary syndrome, or even certain medications. It's essential to consult with a gynecologist to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, make sure to stay well-hydrated, eat iron-rich foods to prevent anemia, and avoid strenuous physical activities. Don't hesitate to seek medical advice promptly so that appropriate steps can be taken to manage this issue effectively and ensure your well-being.

I'm 19 female who using olanzapine and mirtazapine since 27, my period should've come in 28. I'm not pregnant, I might have hypoprolactinemia, my results gonna come in Monday. My period is delayed by 19 days right know. 2 year ago my period was off cycle without any reasons (maybe weather change, it was in May) and I used birth control pills and my cycle was turned to normal. Is there a chance that mirtazapine cause my period delay or is it because of seasonal change agaşn? (I do not have any health problems, cycst etc.)

Female | 19

Mirtazapine may disturb your cycle and cause your periods to be late. Seasonal changes can also be a factor. Stress and some drugs are also responsible for your period being unchanged. After you get the test results on Monday, you will be able to understand better. Meanwhile, try to calm down, drink enough water, and get enough sleep.

I am 36 year old female I am 35 weeks pregnant with aching uncomfortable breast that is full of milk no matter how much I express it keeps fulling up and I have 4 weeks leave for my due date

Female | 36

You are going through breast engorgement. This might occur when your breasts get loaded with milk and become sore and uncomfortable. As your body enters the process of your baby, it makes more milk hence your breasts become full very fast. Try warm compresses, gentle massage, and expressing some milk regularly to help with the discomfort.

I'm 22 year old female and I'm suffering from white discharge from a month and also it causes itching, swelling, irritation. Sometimes that discharge all cloudy .

Female | 22

You might have a Yeast infection. Yeast infections are white discharges with itching, swelling, and irritation. A cloudy discharge can appear at times. Yeast infections are common and can easily be treated by over-the-counter anti-fungal creams or suppositories. Also, wear loose cotton underpants and bypassing soap-induced irritation, as gentle as well as mild soap, is best to prevent future infections.

3 month new born baby .mom was not breastfeeding because milk supply is low some times not coming .u tell me breast feeding is increasing milk supply.

Female | 25

Moms sometime­s experience­ low milk supply. Though it may seem concerning, the­re are simple ste­ps you can take. Nursing frequently se­nds a message to your body to produce more­ milk. Also, eating nutritious foods and drinking plenty of fluids aids production. Pay attention to your baby's hunge­r cues - these can stimulate­ increased supply. With time and commitme­nt, your milk should increase, so try to relax and be­ patient.
