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.

I'm really concerned about taking Primolut N. Does it have any side effects, and is it dangerous? Could you explain what I should watch out for? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

Primolut N is generally safe when used under medical supervision, but it can have side effects like nausea, headaches, weight gain, or changes in mood. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance and report any unusual symptoms. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns.

My sister was diagnosed with a fibroid in her uterus, and I've attached her reports for reference. What should our next steps be? Can it be treated with just medication, or is laparoscopy necessary? If surgery is needed, is it safe, and will the fibroids come back later? Would she need to have her uterus removed? I'd really appreciate your advice on the best course of action.

She can opt for Laparoscopic / Open myomectomy. Where only Fibroid will e removed. Her age is just 39yrs, so no need to remove uterus. As removal of uterus will give her Surgical manopause. Only thing, recurrence can not be predicted
