Question 1

I'm dealing with PCOS, and I was given an HCG shot of 10,000 UI along with Duphaston. My pregnancy test came back negative, and now my doctor has prescribed Ovral G for 20 days starting from the second day of my period. I'm wondering why I've been given Ovral G, and why it's important to take it at the same time every day. Could you help me understand this better?

Prolonged bleeding or irregular cycles for two months is abnormal and requires medical attention.

Question 4

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?

Accepted Answer

Normal Causes*

1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge.
2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus.
3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.

*Abnormal Causes*

1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor.
2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor.
3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge.
4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.

*Solution*

To address the issue:

1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches.
2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system.
3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment.
4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

I'm a bit concerned because for the past couple of months, my urine has been a deep yellow color. I'm wondering if this might be related to the glyciphage tablets I take. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should consider?

Accepted Answer

The yellow urine indicates a lot of things like even if you are not taking enough water, the urine can be yellow.
As said by my colleague, if you are on any multivitamin also it can be yellow. Have you started noticing after taking the glyciphage tablet or was OK in the past with the tablet also?
Urinary tract infection can also cause a dark coloured urine.
Here is what you can do, drink upto four litres of water a day and get a urine complete test done.
