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
- 3-4 times a day is considered normal.
- 5-6 times a day may indicate an issue, such as:
- Gastrointestinal infection
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
TB Diagnosis Concerns
- TB diagnosis requires confirmation: A single symptom, like frequent bowel movements, is not enough to confirm TB.
- 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
- Seek a second opinion: Consult another doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
- Request additional testing: Ensure that all necessary tests are conducted to confirm or rule out TB.
- Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss test results and determine the best course of action.

View allI'm experiencing severe pain in my thighs and entire leg, and a 5 cm cyst was found in Vadodara. The doctor is recommending surgery to remove my ovary, but I'm unmarried and would prefer laparoscopic surgery. Can you advise if this is the right approach and suggest any specialist doctors or hospitals for this procedure in Ahmedabad or Delhi?
Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and fertility-sparing option—seek a gynecologist in Ahmedabad or Delhi with minimally invasive expertise.

I got my period on May 30th and was told to take Ovral L. When exactly should I start taking it, and is it okay to use if I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future?
If you want to take Ovral L for contraception, start it on the first day of your period (May 30th), or as advised by your doctor. If you are planning for conception, you should stop taking Ovral L and give your body some time to adjust. Consult with your doctor about the best time to start trying to conceive after stopping birth control.

My left ovary has something called an enlarged cyst that measures about 27x21mm, and I've been having really heavy stomach pains and bleeding during my periods. The pain's been so bad that I feel like throwing up sometimes. My periods are also delayed. Should I be worried about the cyst or all these symptoms, or is there something particular this might be indicating?
Your symptoms could be related to an ovarian cyst. The delay in periods, heavy stomach pain, and bleeding during periods, along with vomiting, are concerning symptoms. I recommend you consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take pain relief medication such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the stomach pain. The usual dosage for ibuprofen is 200-400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
