If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

I've been having issues with irregular periods and there's been a lot of itching and discharge, a kind of overflow in white water. It's been really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Your symptoms of irregular periods, white discharge, and itching may be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, infections, or ovulation. It's important to visit a gynecologist for a full diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. In the meantime, maintain good hygiene, avoid irritants, and manage your diet and stress levels. Feel free to consult a doctor for a detailed examination and targeted treatment

My wife's pregnancy is going fine, but she noticed some blood spotting twice today, along with brown discharge. Her last period was on April 9th. Our doctor gave her pubergen and ethasyl injections. Is this something we should be worried about, or is it normal? What should I do next?

The bleeding and brown discharge may be implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage, but the doctor's administration of Pubergen (progesterone) and Ethasyl (ethyl estradiol) suggests they're taking precautions to support the pregnancy; closely follow the doctor's advice, ensure your wife rests, stays hydrated, and attends follow-up appointments to monitor the pregnancy's progress, and avoid self-medication or excessive worry, as the doctor's intervention aims to mitigate potential risks.
