How long does menopause weight gain last?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

View allI'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?
In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

I've been dealing with some irregular periods lately, and I'm trying to figure out why this might be happening. I'm 22 years old, and this has only started happening in the past few months. What could be the causes for these changes in my menstrual cycle?
Common reasons include hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain medications. I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If hormonal imbalance is suspected, birth control pills like "Yaz" can be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle.

So, I took Mifepristone yesterday morning around 8:30 and then took two Misoprostol tablets after four hours. Later, I took the remaining two Misoprostol tablets after another two hours. I started bleeding, but by last night, the bleeding became very light, almost nothing. I was dealing with stomach pain, vomiting, and feeling weak but now those symptoms have disappeared. How can I tell if the medication worked or not?
It's common for bleeding to vary after taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol, and some people experience lighter bleeding or cramping as the process progresses. You can confirm whether the medication worked by scheduling a follow-up ultrasound with your doctor to ensure that the pregnancy has been terminated completely. If you have concerns or symptoms persist, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
