Could an IUD Help with Menopausal Symptoms?
I’m 42 and I haven’t had a period in 3 months and the 3 before were lighter shorter but very crampy . 12 months ago I was having heavier, longer and more painful periods. I had an ultrasound, an internal ultrasound and a Pap test which all showed everything is normal. Recently I saw an OB GYN. I asked if I could be perimenopausal. She asked if I get hot flashes and when I said no she basically brushed off the question. I don’t get hot flashes and know that not always a symptom. I do have more facial hair, mood swings, sleep problems, night sweats and obviously irregular periods. She did a biopsy of my uterine lining. She did not ask if there was any possibility that I could be pregnant first. I am most likely not as my boyfriend has retrograde ejaculation and does not ejaculate when he orgasm. Her solution was to put in an IUD which I have not had done as of yet the appointment to do so is coming up. I understand that IUDs can lessen painful heavy periods that can occur before menopause. But as I am not having periods or any signs of a period would there be any benefit to this? I have heard many horror stories of IUDs and I’m just trying to make a good decision.

According to your symptoms, you are most likely having perimenopause. Women are told that menopause is only certain and official after 12 consecutive months without menstruating. It is suggested that you have a discussion with a gynecologist in regard to your symptoms and worries. They can make the decision for you whether an IUD will be suitable for you

Female | 26
Missing periods can happen for different reasons after being intimate. Stress, routine changes, or hormones may sometimes delay cycles. It's common and typically no big concern. However, if she feels unwell or has additional symptoms, visiting a gynecologist for an evaluation is advisable.

I am 27 year female and my periods are regular but for only 2 days with no clot no pain no cramps Is this a concern??
Female | 27
It's good that your periods are regular, but having a flow for only 2 days could sometimes indicate a hormonal imbalance or other underlying issues. It's best to consult a gynecologist to ensure everything is normal. Regular check-ups can help address any potential concerns early.

Hello sir my name is Sujan. My girl friend got a pregnant 1 month letter we about the pregnancy. 1 month before but now she get the ubnarmel (urine problem) on the urine time blood bleeding re-send time. Morthern 3 she no go to urine
Female | 18
It’s important to notice the indications of your girlfriend. The blood in her urine could be from a urinary tract infection (UTI). These involve painful sensation or burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate even when passing little amounts, and sometimes lower abdominal pains. She might require antibiotics to treat the UTI. Let her drink plenty of water and ensure she goes to the toilet whenever she feels like doing so. Advise her to have enough rest without holding urine for long periods. To receive the correct treatment, it would be best if she gets checked by a gynecologist.

I am 25 years old and I have always had regular monthly periods but recently they came early like after a week. They usually come after 25 days. Should I be worried?
Female | 25
menstrual cycles do vary slightly from month to month & changes in the timing or length of periods is due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or other health conditions. There is nothing to worry about, but if you experience persistent changes in your menstrual cycle consistently early or irregular periods it's better to talk to a gynec.

If YOU are not conceiving and have irregular periods,, it may be due to various reasons.. Stress, weight, thyroid issues,, PCOS, and more can cause these symptoms.. Consult your doctor to diagnose the problem, and don't worry;; many women face this issue.. Making lifestyle changes, taking medications,, or undergoing treatments can improve your chances of getting pregnant.. Remember to stay positive and take care of yourself during this process..
But for that diagnose the root cause is more important. for example if it is due to PCOS then doctor may prescribe you medication, stem cell therapy, balnced diet etc. For stress related issue doctor might ask you to change lifestyle, not to consuming alcohol or such substances.

After having sex i got postino tablet and now i got my period today. Normally when my period time i bleed lot. But this time it is like a small spot. Can I know the reason please? Is it normal or abnormal. And i wanna know is it sign for the pregnancy.
Female | 22
Many factors affect flow, like stress, hormones, or chance. Lighter bleeding doesn’t always mean pregnancy. Give your body time and watch for other symptoms. If something feels off or persists, consult a gynecologist. Periods can fluctuate for many reasons, so it’s okay to be concerned if changes seem unusual.

Female | 27
I recommend that you should see gynecologist to do the ultrasound to find out the reason for your bleeding. This is quite critical during your first term of pregnancy.The right one to see is an obstetrician or gynecologist.

Hello thanks for being here! I recently started spotting for the first time during my expected period. I am now 11days late. I am wondering if due to stress is it possible for it to be a short cycle/spotting if a stressful period is usually longer for myself?
Female | 29
Stress impacts your period in various ways. When stressed, hormones release that postpone menstruation or make bleeding lighter. Spotting commonly happens under stress too. Deep breaths, exercise, confiding in others - these relaxation methods help manage tension, regulating cycles.

At times, pregnancy tests show negative results despite being pregnant, mainly if taken too early. Other reasons for missed periods: stress, hormone changes, weight fluctuations. It's wise to wait, test again, or visit a gynecologist to confirm.
