Why is my period so heavy this month with clots?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.

Dog Bite from Fully Vaccinated Dog _General Guidelines_ 1. _Low risk_: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low. 2. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)_: However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Wash the wound_: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water. 2. _Apply antiseptic_: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound. 3. _Monitor your dog's behavior_: Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior for the next 10-14 days. If your dog shows any signs of illness or unusual behavior, seek veterinary attention immediately. 4. _Consult a doctor_: As a precautionary measure, consult a doctor to assess the risk of rabies transmission. They may recommend: a. _Observation_: Monitoring your condition for a few days to ensure no symptoms develop. b. _PEP_: Administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a precautionary measure, although this is unlikely given your dog's vaccination status. _Rabies Vaccination_ 1. _Unlikely necessary_: Given your dog's full vaccination status, rabies vaccination for you is unlikely necessary.

My mom is 40 and was just diagnosed with a bulky uterus with multiple fibroids and a right hemorrhagic ovarian cyst that's 3126 mm in her right ovary. We're really worried and confused about whether surgery or medication would be the better treatment option for her. What do you suggest is the best way to handle this?

It's understandable that you're worried about your mom's diagnosis. Since she's 40 and has both fibroids and a large ovarian cyst, the best approach is to have a thorough discussion with her gynecologist. They will need to assess her symptoms, consider her future fertility desires, and determine the best treatment plan for her specific situation
