Delayed period and increased stress: What tests should I get to identify the root cause?

Hey there, a virgo here (one of those people still believing in the value of marriage (only it's delayed to some degree) and what comes with it. This isn't meant as passing judgement but to avoid at times hurtful snarky remarks from DR.'s (unbelievable)) That sounds weird to open with it, however it is a vital info). I have been this past few months under a lot of stress at work, including very late remote computer work at night (until 3, even 5am) and dealing with unpleasant people(oh fun:)), my diet was indeed less leaning into the veggies and fruit. What brings me here seeking your advice? My period is sure taking its time (think it's around 54 days since beginning of last menstruation, so it's considered by now missed I guess.)gravitaain between nconstipatiaiton nto normalal to having this one tiimem momentaraty stomach ahache annd diarreah aiwiwith a miild passing fever). Last month regular blood work showed normal iron and HB levels. However, despite being within normal range the ferritin levels were at the minimum level while transferrin on the maximum level within its range. Had some more acne than usual (occasional small pimples on back of hands (a relatively new phenomenon from past years (with the increased stress and worries), ear, chest back face neck. Nothing too severe not a lot either (not as I used to) because I try and treat it keeping it at bay (but a bit more than usual, also not as usual in their location (nonetheless important). My question is what sort of test should I be asking, what sort of blood test to get to the bottom of it, and what should I do also to not augment stress that does not (!) help the situation? Please I'd appreciate your reply

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that your delayed period and gastrointestinal issues could be related to stress and dietary changes. It's important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your missed period and any potential hormonal imbalances. Also you need to consult with a gastroenterologist to evaluate your gastrointestinal symptoms. Avoiding stressors as much as possible and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine may also help alleviate your symptoms.

On 4/3/2024 a little cat scratch me and I complete my vaccination (ARV) by 0,3,7,28 days shedule resently again another cat scratch me on 10/9/2024 and could not get blood may I take another vaccination? And and today's it's the 10th day the cat was still fine and the same cat was also scratch my granny on January 2024 and granny was completely fine and vaccinated, so what should I do doctor?

Female | 20

It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

should I take paracetamol along with h.p.kit tablet while having fever

Male | 21

Yes, you can take paracetamol with h.p. kit tablet. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and pain!. H.p. kit is used to treat H.pylori infection. Both medicines work differently, so it's safe to take them together!. However, it's important to follow the dosage instructions. Consult a doctor if the symptoms persist or worsen.

Female | 26

If you have already got a tetanus and anti-rabies vaccine after the main bite, you should be fine. A second vaccine may not be necessary, but it's important to watch for symptoms like redness, swelling, pain, or fever. If any of these develop, seek medical attention immediately.

My rabies vaccine 2nd dose is complete. Can I share food with someone else?

Male | 29

The sharing of food with someone is no longer an issue. Rabies is a fatal virus that generally attacks the brain. It is imparted through the excrement of infected fauna. The vaccine will stimulate your immunity response as ensigning the virus transpires. Only observe certain signs like fever, headache, and muscle aches at vaccination, but your body is getting used to altered conditions.

Candid mouth paint is not meant for the­ nose. The paint irritates nose­ tissues. You may feel burning. You might sne­eze. You could have trouble­ breathing. Don't put mouth paint in your nose. If you did, rinse with wate­r gently. That's safer.

I was bit by 2 month old puppy should I worry about rabbies

Male | 25

Puppies unde­r two months rarely carry the rabies virus. Don't worry if one nippe­d you. Watch the bite area for infection signs, re­dness, or swelling. Clean the wound thoroughly with soap, and wate­r; put antiseptic too. Keep it cle­an always. If fever, he­adaches, fatigue occurs - consult a doctor promptly.
