I've been dealing with this issue for a while and I'm pretty confused about it. I'm 23 and my periods are either super light or almost nonexistent at times. Sometimes I'll just see a tiny bit of blood, and then nothing for the first few days, but then it starts up from the 4th day. It gets me pretty worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

Your irregular menstrual bleeding patterns, including delayed onset, reduced flow, or prolonged spotting, could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, stress, or weight fluctuations; consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation, pelvic exam, and potential ultrasound or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Is it okay to have sex during the early stages of pregnancy? Could it cause a miscarriage or bring on my period? I'm also curious about whether it's safe if I'm planning to get pregnant soon.

My mother is 45 and has been dealing with gynecological issues for the past three years. She had uterus surgery back in 2015 and has been consulting Dr. Shipra Rani and Dr. Hemlata, who are known as the best gynecologists in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. But now they're saying she needs to see a higher specialist outside our area. I'm really worried what could be the issue that they haven't been able to diagnose? Where should we go for better help, and are there any precautions we should take in the meantime?
Patient is advised for surgeon opinion for further management.
