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.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and for the past 7 days, I've been experiencing brown discharge with my urine. The doctor I consulted gave me medications like Menoguard, Meganeuron OD, Dubagest, Duphaston, and also advised me to take the Eema HP 5000 injection twice a week for four weeks. I just started the medications and took one injection yesterday, but the brown discharge hasn't stopped. I'm really worried about my pregnancy. The sonography confirms I'm pregnant, but what's causing this brown discharge?

I've taken abortion pills, and about 30 days after having sex, I started bleeding like my normal period. But then after 10 days, I had pain for 3 days, and the bleeding started again. Now it's been bleeding for more than 10 days. What should I do?

After taking abortion pills, experiencing bleeding for more than 10 days can be concerning. It is important to monitor the amount of bleeding and any associated symptoms. If the bleeding continues beyond 2 weeks or if you experience severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, please seek immediate medical attention.
