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.

Can I manage heavy bleeding and endometrial hyperplasia without surgery? My endometrium is thick and I have polyps but I'm hoping to avoid an operation are there other options?

Yes, many cases of endometrial hyperplasia and heavy bleeding can be managed effectively without surgery. Progestin therapy is often the first line of treatment, and in some cases, other medical options like hormonal IUDs or medications can help reduce bleeding and manage the hyperplasia. Lifestyle changes and regular monitoring with your doctor are also important aspects of management.

I'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?

Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.
