Why Are My Periods Heavy, Irregular, and Prolonged?

My periods are very irregular and heavy, I used to lose so much blood. But this time my periods came after 3 months and are still going on for more than 15 days. They're very heavy and have big mucusy lumps in the discharged blood. It's very painful. Immediate relief pills that contain tranexamic acid don't appear to work now. What should I do?

It seems like you may be having some serious changes in your menstrual cycle, which can be worrying. Heavy bleeding with large clots and prolonged periods may be the result of hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, or other diseases. While drugs may provide relief, the importance of receiving medical care cannot be overstated and this should be considered the first step, especially if the non-prescription drugs are not working. A gynecologist can do an in-depth examination of you and then prescribe the treatments that will match your condition and needs.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Please my girlfriend is having some signs and she has concluded that it's cancer but I also don't know the type of cancer. She is having a bad discharge down there, her breast is itching and she is losing her hair

Male | 23

Let her first consult a gynecologist or an oncologist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. The symptoms you mentioned such as a bad discharge, breast itching, and hair loss, can have various causes, and it's not possible to determine the specific type of cancer based on those symptoms alone. It's natural to feel concerned, but only a medical professional can accurately diagnose the cause of her symptoms.

Hi I have recently facing infection on my vagina. It comes every month before periods. I have burning sensation and itching whenever it contacted with water. My most concern is, I recently noticed that my vaginal opening is getting bigger or wider. This concerns me a lot. I do have a partner but we only have sex once a year. Apart from that, I'm not doing any kind of sexual activities. Please give me remedy and reason for this.

Female | 27

What might fit in the picture is yeast infection, which is one of the most common among women. The burning and itching are the two primary common symptoms. The feeling of your vaginal opening getting bigger or wider may be due to swelling from the infection. Antifungal creams or suppositories that you can get over the counter could be tried for this purpose. Don't forget to keep the region clean and dry, and wear cotton underwear to promote the healing process.

Which triphasil tablet do i take to prevent my period from starting

Female | 38

To prevent your period from starting, you should take the blue triphasil tablet from the pack. By taking this tablet, your body is prevented from releasing the egg, which can be the reason behind the delay of your period. The scenario becomes bright when you have a special event or a trip planned, and you don't want your period to come. Triphasil is safe to use for this purpose, but you should always follow the instructions and take the pills every day at the same time.

I have been facing breast pain for 1 week what causes that

Female | 19

Breast pain could be due to many reasons including hormonal changes, breast cysts or fibroadenomas. I propose that you consult your gynaecologist for a clinical breast examination and possibly a breast ultrasound to find the underlying reason of the pain.

Hello, I'm 17 years old.I lost feeling in my bladder and clitoris.I don't know when the bladder is full.I don't feel any excitement and sex drive anymore.The clitoris is no longer sensitive to stimuli, to touch.A year ago I had a feeling. I had ultrasound and blood tests performed by a gynecologist and a urologist, the results of the tests show no abnormalities. At this age I shouldn't have any problems with it.

Female | 34

After an abortion, it's essential to give your body time to recover, allowing your uterus to heal properly. It's recommended to wait at least one to three months before trying to conceive again to reduce the risk of complications. Prioritizing your health is crucial before planning your next pregnancy.
