You may be dealing with Braxton Hicks contractions. These are like practice contractions that your body does to prepare for labor. They can be likened to the sensation of menstrual cramps along with some discomfort in the lower back. The thick, gooey discharge might be an indication that your body is preparing itself for labor. While resting and drinking water is good for your health, if the cramps become more frequent or severe, you should inform your gynecologist.

Hello Ma'am, i would appreciate if you could give me you few minutes... My mom is in her pre-menopausal age she's 47 years old back in 2022 she had started bleeding heavily for list almost a month continuously we had done test so at that time here uterus lining was 10/11mm which is supposed to be normal She was taking pause-MF tablets and aftr that she had normal regular periods for 2 years Now since april 2024, she's having very heavy flow of blood she had her periods from 10-19 april then from 2-20 may then after this she again started her period from 28th may till 05 june. she's had very heavy flow during these 3 recent cycles We've done an ultrasound so in the ultrasound we got to know that the Endometrial has thickened to 22mm she's been suggested biopsy, so is it necessary to get the biospy done or can it be left like that keeping her age in mind? Your valuable suggestion will be very meaningful. Thank you.

Female | 47

These kinds of changes could be caused by hormonal imbalances or conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia. 22mm is concerning and needs further evaluation through biopsy to rule out anything serious like cancer. Because of her age as well as her overall health status, these tests must be done.

I did at home IUI on Friday and didn’t realise there was air in the syringe and blew some in my vagina and now I’m worried about an air embolism

Female | 25

Air embolism is the condition when air bubbles get into your blood vessels and can be quite dangerous. But, don't worry too much. In your case, that is highly unlikely. Symptoms would include chest pain, trouble breathing, and dizziness. You look okay for now, but if any symptoms appear, do not wait to get help.

Hello, Doctor! I am concerned whether I have my menstruation or implantation bleeding because it only lasts for 2 days to fill 2 pads in red color for the whole menstruation. I have done my blood HCG tests 16 days, 23 days and 30 days (21 days after bleeding) after intercourse and also urine tests which are all negative. I have also done my ultrasound 25 days after intercourse. Should I still need to be worried that I am pregnant? Is HCG still too early to detect in blood and urine 30 days after intercourse? Or is it too early for an ultrasound too?

Female | 40

Normally, implantation bleeding is lighter and shorter compared to the usual menstruation flow. A negative HCG test could mean that it’s not a case of pregnancy. The tests may have been carried out too soon for the existence of any pregnancy to be detected. 25 days may also be too soon for an ultrasound. So it's either way too early for these tests or the likelihood is that you are not pregnant. Keep an eye on the symptoms and repeat the test after a week or two for better results.

On Aug 2023 I got periods with clots and heavy bleeding and same happend in next mo th from then until.now I not got my periods can u explain. Why if I move or sit bleeding with clots come so can u explain after heavy bleeding I'm.not getting periods

Female | 23

You might have a disorder called menorrhagia, that is having heavy periods with clots. This problem may be due to hormonal imbalances or issues with the uterus. The heavy bleeding and clots you experienced may have caused some disturbances in your normal menstrual cycle. Consulting a doctor is essential for further evaluation and management. Treatments including hormonal therapy and procedures to deal with heavy bleeding can be the options that these doctors will mention to you.

Hi my period is delayed I’m super stressed I have a little blood but no flow

Female | 29

Sometime­s, period delay happens due­ to stress. If you only see spotting and no full flow, it might be­ hormonal changes caused by stress. Othe­r reasons could be lifestyle­ changes, extreme­ weight loss, or certain medicine­s. To get your period back on track, do relaxing activitie­s like yoga or meditation.
