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've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?
Consider a follow-up appointment with your gynecologist to reassess your fertility and discuss further testing, such as ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluations, to identify potential underlying causes for delayed conception; also, ask about additional blood tests to check for immunity to cytomegalovirus and other infections, and explore options like fertility supplements, lifestyle modifications, or fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

I'm really worried because I've noticed some dark blue veins showing up on my breast, and there's been some pain too. I'm not married, but I do have a boyfriend and we're sexually active. My last period was on December 23rd, so I'm really confused about why this is happening. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?
mastitis and thrombophlebitis of the breast veins should be ruled out consult surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm having really bad period cramps and it's making it hard for me to get anything done. I just want to lie down all day. Do you know if Combiflam or Meftal Spas is better for this? I'm looking for something that's not too strong because I'm worried about getting used to heavy-duty painkillers in the long run. Any suggestions?
If you are looking for something less strong and less likely to cause addiction or long-term harm, Meftal-Spas might be a good option for you because it combines a muscle relaxant (Dicyclomine) with pain relief, making it a little more targeted for cramps. However, both are NSAIDs, which should be used cautiously, especially if you have any stomach or kidney issues.consult your doctor to evaluate pain
