I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.

View allI've been taking nitrofurantoin and now I'm on my last day, but even though the painful urination has stopped, I'm starting to get this itchy feeling down there, and I've noticed three small cuts on the skin between my vagina and anus. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or something else?
-It sounds like you might be experiencing irritation or a mild infection, possibly related to the use of antibiotics like nitrofurantoin, which can sometimes disrupt the balance of bacteria. If the itching or cuts persist, it's a good idea to consult your

My wife keeps getting endometrial polyps that return every decade and it's affecting her ability to conceive. Are there any herbal remedies that could help with this or would she need surgery to address the issue?
Endometrial polyps that recur can significantly impact fertility. While some herbal remedies may help manage symptoms or support overall uterine health, surgical removal (hysteroscopy or dilation and curettage) is often necessary, especially if polyps are recurring or if they're affecting conception

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and trying to understand some terms from my latest scan results. Can you explain what these foetal growth parameters mean? Like, what do 'bpd 86 mm', 'hc 312 mm', 'fl 69 mm', and 'ac 304 mm' indicate about my baby's growth? And, it says the estimated foetal weight is 2.5 kg, which sounds reassuring, but is that an average weight for this stage? Also, my amniotic fluid is normal with an AFI of 12 and the placenta is posterior with grade 2 maturity in the upper segment. They're saying there are no obvious anomalies now, and something about the Doppler study of the umbilical artery with terms like 'psv 36 cms' and 'edv 15 cms', and other readings like 'pi 0.84', 'sd 2.3', and 'diastolic filling good'. What do these mean for my baby? It also mentions the uterine artery on the right, and the foetal mca Doppler trace is within normal limits. I'm a bit confused about what all these mean, especially when they mention things like a single live foetus with a vertical lie and low head position. It sounds like everything is okay, but no IUGR and no cord around the babys neck are mentioned too. Could you help clarify all this for me?
-Your 34-week ultrasound report shows that your baby is growing well with normal measurements: Biparietal diameter (BPD) of 86 mm, head circumference (HC) of 312 mm, femur length (FL) of 69 mm, abdominal circumference (AC) of 304 mm, and an estimated weig
