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.

I'm feeling really concerned about something. I got an HSV IgG test result of 0.85 and I've been noticing some redness in the genital area, along with itching and these weird tingling pains in my thighs. Does this mean I have herpes or could it be something else? What's confusing me more is that when I did a test last month, it came back negative. Can you tell me if these results might be accurate and suggest any treatment options?

Yes that could be Herpes,need to take antiviral medicines and topical creams ,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm wondering if taking Ovacare tablets can mess with my period. I ended up taking 10 of them and now I'm worried they might cause a delay. How much of a delay could I be looking at here?

Ovacare is generally not expected to delay periods. If you or the person taking Ovacare experiences a delay in menstruation, it could be due to other factors unrelated to the supplement. If the delay persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, its advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further advice and evaluation.
