Health Q&A
Irregular periods

My periods started at age 14 and became irregular around age 15. At age 16, I was told that I had ovarian cysts and was prescribed medicines to regulate my periods. I was also given another large pink-colored tablet, but I don’t remember its name. After taking the medicines, I experienced sudden weight gain. I later consulted another doctor who said the previous medicine dosage may not have been appropriate. PCOD/PCOS was never confirmed. My periods are still very irregular—sometimes I don’t get them for around 3 months and sometimes up to 9 months. I want to know the possible cause and what tests or evaluation I need.

Pregnancy related

Im 18 weeks pregnant and in my last scan my cervix length was about 2.8 cm. My doc said that the cervix is a little short and should be able to carry full term as in my last pregnancy i delivered at 38 weeks. He has not asked me for cerclage till now. I have been put on duvadilan retard twice a day. What precautions should i take? Can i go out normally for lunch and dinners or should i rest at home full time?

Fever and cold before periods

Ive noticed since 2 months that i get symptoms like feverishness and mild cold before the onset of periods as in PMS timeframe and also at times dizziness and bloating.How to cure it?Could it be due to hormonal imbalance?

Periods delay

Had unprotected intercourse on May 24 and took i-pill within 10 hours. I had no spotting or bleeding afterward. My periods usually come between the 6th and 10th of each month. On June 6, I had a period which is a bit heavy than the usual flow for 4–5 days and stopped. Could this have been spotting or was it a regular period? My next period came on July 7 and lasted 4–5 days with my usual flow. I have had no intercourse since May 24. Today is August 11, and my period hasn't come yet. Could I still be pregnant, or is this delay likely due to the pill? When can I expect my period?

Persistent Vulvovaginal Itching and Odor

For the past 6 to 7 months, I have been experiencing persistent and intense vulvovaginal itching accompanied by a foul-smelling vaginal odor and even white discharge. The discomfort has been ongoing for half a year without resolving, and I would like to undergo an evaluation—including any necessary exams or swab tests—to identify the underlying cause, whether infectious or dermatological, and receive an appropriate prescription treatment plan.
