I've had my period twice in the span of 15 days. Honestly, I haven't done anything different with my diet or daily routine. I've been on some meds for about a month and a half now, though. Back in October, I was expecting my period around the 28th, but it showed up on the 18th. And now it's here again on November 3rd. The medications I'm currently taking include Indocap, Pantocid, Defcort, and Chekbak D3. Why might my period be so early, and what should I do about it?

The early period could be due to the medications you are taking. Indocap is a brand name for Indomethacin, which can sometimes affect menstrual cycles. Pantocid is a brand name for Pantoprazole, which may also have an impact on menstrual regularity. Defcort is a brand name for Deflazacort, which can sometimes cause hormonal changes leading to irregular periods. Chekbak D3 is a supplement containing Vitamin D3, which is not known to directly affect menstrual cycles. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of these medications affecting your menstrual cycle. They may suggest adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications if necessary.

I'm getting married soon, but I've got a past where I was pregnant with my ex and had an abortion at three months. I'm really anxious about how to handle this with my husband-to-be, and I want to know if there's a way to restore my virginity. Can you give me some guidance on what options I might have?

You can consult a gynecologist to learn more about procedures to repair a broken hymen. There is no drug to help in this matter.

I've had a cyst develop on my left labia minora near the vagina before, and the doctor drained it surgically. Now it's come back for the third time why does this keep happening and what can be done to prevent it from recurring

If it is painful it can be an indication of bartholin's abscess. You will need course of antibiotics and painkillers. If you are getting recurrent infection, it is better to get the bartholin cyst removed

I'm currently pregnant and I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and a bit of a cold. I've heard that crocin or paracetamol can be taken to help with these symptoms, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guide me on whether that's safe or if there are specific precautions I should consider?

During pregnancy, Crocin (paracetamol) can generally be taken for fever and cold, as it is considered safe in moderation. However, it's important to consult your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your specific stage of pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dosage.
