I've been experiencing very painful menstrual cramps and my doctor recommended I try Meftal Spas tablets. They've been really helpful in relieving my pain for about 5 to 6 hours, and I've been taking them whenever the pain gets too intense. But now I'm noticing that my periods are getting delayed and the cramps seem to be even more painful. Could these things be side effects of the tablets?

Meftal Spas is a commonly used medication for menstrual pain, but frequent use can sometimes affect the regularity of your periods or increase pain in some cases. It's important to use it cautiously and consult your doctor if you notice changes in your cycle or increased discomfort, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.

What's going on with my mom's scan results? It mentions a bulky anterior wall fibroid and describes the sizes of her uterus and ovaries, but I'm not sure what this all means for her health. She's 54 and I'm worried about what to do next. Could you please explain?

Based on the ultrasound report, your 54-year-old mother has a bulky anterior wall fibroid (5.1x5.4x5.6cm) and normal ovarian echo patterns; considering her age, treatment options may include watchful waiting, hormonal therapy, or surgical interventions like myomectomy or hysterectomy, but it's essential to consult a gynecologist
