I'm on my 8th day of bleeding, and my periods usually last just 4 days. This time, I've had clots for 4 days and then light bleeding for the next 4 days. It's day 8 now, and I'm getting a bit concerned. Is there any medication I should consider taking?

Frequent Bowel Movements and TB Diagnosis

Normal Bowel Movement Frequency

  1. 3-4 times a day is considered normal.
  2. 5-6 times a day may indicate an issue, such as:
    • Gastrointestinal infection
    • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
    • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

TB Diagnosis Concerns

  1. TB diagnosis requires confirmation: A single symptom, like frequent bowel movements, is not enough to confirm TB.
  2. Additional tests are necessary: Your doctor should have ordered additional tests, such as:
    • Stool tests
    • Blood tests
    • Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, CT scans)
    • Endoscopy or colonoscopy

Next Steps

  1. Seek a second opinion: Consult another doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
  2. Request additional testing: Ensure that all necessary tests are conducted to confirm or rule out TB.
  3. Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss test results and determine the best course of action.

My wife recently had her first period after an abortion that happened due to no heartbeat detected at two months into the pregnancy. It's been quite heavy, and we're on the fourth day now. While it seems to have lightened up a tiny bit today, it's still more than what we expected. Should we be concerned about the amount of bleeding she's experiencing right now?

As she is getting her periods after 2months, it can be little heavy. But if she is having pain or if she is passing clots or fleshy mass she has to visit her doctor. If not it will stop in 2-4 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop in 2-4 days, then also she needs to visit her doctor.
