Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Blood clots, when they are small and only occasional, is common and normal on heavy flow volume days. If blood clots are big (larger than quarter) and occur frequently then there might be any underlying medical conditions such as fibriods, endometriosis, adenomyosis, perimenopasue, menopause, stress, weight gain and blood dyscrasias.

I've noticed that my period has been longer than usual, lasting up to 10 days, and I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. Then, I experienced very light bleeding mixed with a watery discharge for a couple of days. Lately, I've been dealing with a pretty bad pain on my right side and it's affecting my back too. I'm really concerned and would love to get some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

Get a beta HCG done and if it is negative get a hormonal profile done

I've been trying to conceive for a year now with no success. I have a 3x3cm intramural fibroid could that be affecting my chances? My first IUI failed, and now my doctor is suggesting fibroid removal. Is this surgery a big procedure, and what's the best option for someone trying to get pregnant?

Yes, many patients with fibroids can get pregnant. But to improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy, it's best to discuss your goals and priorities with your doctor. If fibroids are having an impact on your quality of life, a gynecologic surgeon can discuss treatment options that can help preserve your fertility.

I'm an unmarried girl and for the past 6 months, I've been dealing with my periods being delayed. It's been between 40 to 50 days now. I do everything like yoga and exercise, and my BMI is normal. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work in IT and sometimes have to work more than 9 hours. Could that be the reason? I'm quite confused and would appreciate some insight.

As an unmarried girl experiencing delayed periods (40-50 days) despite a normal BMI, yoga, and exercise, possible causes may include stress, hormonal imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can be triggered or exacerbated by long working hours (>9 hrs) and an IT profession's sedentary lifestyle.
