Hi I've ran out of Fludrocortisone tablets. Is it OK to miss two doses
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Abruptly stopping or missing doses of Fludrocortisone can cause a sudden drop in bp, dizziness or weakness. Your doctor may advise you to resume taking the medication at your next scheduled dose or to take an extra dose to make up for the missed ones.

Teeth grinding and hemifacial spasm can be due to a stress, anxiety, and neurological conditions. Medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications can help.
Nerve pain and difficulty swallowing could also be related to a neurological condition and may require further evaluation and treatment. Check thouroughly with a neurologist.

Surgery is often recommended as a first-line treatment for brain tumors, but may not be the best option for everyone, especially for older adults who may have a higher risk of complications. Consult with a neurologist to discuss the best treatment options for your grandmother's specific case.

It can be gastrointestinal issue since you're experiencing chest pain, stomach pain, and a loss of appetite. Even stress and anxiety causes chest pain. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to properly diagnose and treat your symptoms. Check with a gastroentrologist first.

I had my last period on the 3rd of last month. I have a 25-day cycle with 4 days of bleeding. I had sex on the 13th and I had a pill within one hour and then on the 15th of that month, I took a pill within one hour, just as a precaution. I started a light bleed on the 20th of that month until the 25th. The expected period date was 30 of the month. But, I still have not got it.
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Based on the information you have provided, the pills you took on the 13th and 15th of last month may have affected your menstrual cycle. Contraceptive pills contain high levels of hormones that can disrupt your menstrual cycle and cause irregular bleeding. If you are concerned about a possible pregnancy, you can take a home pregnancy test to confirm. But wait at least a week after a missed period to take the test for accurate results or visit a gynecologist.

If the leg pain is so severe that affects walking then get it checked by an orthopedist as it could indicate a serious medical condition. Possible causes can be muscle strain, deep vein thrombosis, or nerve problems.

Missed period and white discharge for vagina
Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Missed periods and white vaginal discharge can be because of pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, infections, or certain medications. If you are sexually active then take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as the cause of your symptoms. If the test is negative, consult a gynec.

My mom aged 63 years has a painful swelling or kind of a bone like feeling above pelvis. Few weeks back she had loose motions, stomach ace and sometimes vomiting. Doctors treated her for acidity and she was fine later. What could be the issue for the painful lump? She is diabetic and her current pre range is 160
Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
The painful swelling or bone-like feeling above the pelvis could be an abscess, hernia, cyst, or a tumor. Kindly get it checked with a gynecologist.
Given that she has a history of loose motions, stomach ache, and vomiting, its possible that the swelling is related to a previous gastrointestinal infection or inflammation.
Moreover her diabetes and current high blood sugar levels may also be contributing to her symptoms and complicating her condition.

I have been taking contraceptives for some time now and my last time of taking was December 15 I haven't had sex till now my menses came December n last month but was supposed to come last week but it didn't come. I checked for pregnancy n it was negative
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Hormonal contraceptives do affect your menstrual cycle. Also if your pregnancy test is negative then the period delay can be due to stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.
