No, the hymen can't grow back once it's been stretched open.

I've missed my periods for the last 3 months, and last month I only had some small brown clots or discharge that lasted about 3-4 days. My cycle has always been kind of irregular, and I remember something similar happened a couple of years ago. Back then, my doctor gave me Ergest LD, and I got my period after 5 days. Could something different be causing this now, and should I be really worried about it?

I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy now, it just started on May 23rd, 2021, but I havent felt any baby movements for the last couple of days. I can hear the heartbeat though. Everything was fine in the 6th month with lots of movement. Should I be worried about the reduction in movements? What might be causing this?

Hi! It's great that you're hearing the baby's heartbeat, but a decrease in movements can sometimes indicate a need for medical attention. Please visit your doctor immediately to ensure everything is okay. They might do an ultrasound or other checks for reassurance.

I'm really concerned about how long Trenaxa MF takes to stop heavy bleeding, especially since I have PCOS. I'm trying to figure out the right dosage for my condition but I'm unsure. Also, if the bleeding doesn't stop, how many doses should I take before I start getting worried? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about this whole thing and would appreciate some guidance.

Take Trenexa 500mg two timws a day usually it stops bleeding within one day
