I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?

You may resume dance 4‚Äì6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.
