Asked for Female, 45
My mother, who is 45 years old, has been experiencing irregular periods. She hasn’t had her period for the last 6 to 7 months and then suddenly had very heavy bleeding for 2 days, which stopped afterward. This has happened several times. Some doctors have suggested she might need a hysterectomy, while others disagree. She has also had a D&C (dilation and curettage) in the past. Recently, she’s been experiencing burning sensations in her feet and sometimes in different parts of her body, including a part of her head. She is also suffering from extreme hair loss. She has started taking Ensure powder, but I’m wondering if she should consider any specific multivitamins or supplements to help with her symptoms.

Irregular menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, burning sensations, and hair loss manifestations can have many causes such as hormonal fluctuations, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical problems. A hysterectomy is one possibility, but other treatments could be considered in case of the particular diagnosis. The basic measure she should be concerned with is a balanced and nutritious diet which would be to take a multivitamin with iron and B vitamins into consideration that they might help. Anyway, it is essential first and foremost that she should have a conversation with a gynecologist who can lay out a treatment plan that is customized only to her after a thorough evaluation.

Pregnancy hai ya nhi hai.. Periods related problems hai.
Answered on 2nd Jan '25
Menses can be brought on by different causes such as hormonal imbalances, stress or weight changes. Irregular periods are quite common and can be indicative of pregnancy. Evidence of pregnancy includes the failure to menstruate, being tired, feeling sick, or having tender breasts. You could also make things clearer by using easy and trustworthy home pregnancy tests. If you experience problems with your cycle or suspect pregnancy, it is best to consult a gynecologist. He or she can offer you personalized help, and advice according to your particular case.

I want get pregnant but at the end month periods starts
Answered on 23rd Dec '24
Experiencing menstruation towards the end of a cycle can indicate that ovulation might not be occurring regularly, which is crucial for conception. Factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, or underlying health conditions could be contributing to this pattern. To enhance your chances of pregnancy, consider tracking your ovulation, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and managing stress. Furthermore, seeking advice from a gynecologist can provide you with first-hand information and a path specific to your body.

Am on 10th days on periods but light flows am getting worried what can l use to stop it
Answered on 23rd Dec '24
It is quite natural for you to get worried about long-lasting menstrual blood loss. Light discharge over 10 days may happen because of different causes such as hormonal changes, stress, or lifestyle modifications. Rather than trying to stop it alone, focus more on your health by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water. If the strange-shade bleeding does not go and/or is followed by a lot of discomfort, it is best to consult a gynecologist who knows more about these things.
Asked for Female, 24
I am a 24 year old female Got a vaginal fungal infection since past two three months Took antibiotic doses And a treatment But no betterment
Answered on 19th Dec '24
From the way you tell it, it appears that the annoyance you have been experiencing is due to a fungal infection which can cause symptoms like itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge. The antibiotics can be both good and bad, as the natural flora and the vaginal flora may be destroyed but on the other hand, they can lead to residual yeast growth. Consider the use of antifungal drugs, and probiotics, and maintaining good hygiene to treat it. So, trying to avoid self-diagnosis and treatment, I suggest you take a visit to a gynecologist to fix a problem and tailor your treatment.
