What could be causing right-sided pain from my shoulder to my leg that increases before my periods and decreases afterwards? Scans of the uterus, MRI, orthopaedic, and neurological evaluations show no abnormalities.

The pattern of your pain suggests it may be related to hormonal changes associated with your menstrual cycle or possible nerve irritation from deep pelvic endometriosis, even if routine scans appear normal. It may also result from musculoskeletal tension that tends to worsen around menstruation. Consulting a gynaecologist or a pain specialist is advised for further evaluation and targeted treatment.

I am two months pregnant and experiencing stomach pain. Can you provide some advice?

Mild stomach pain can be normal in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes and stretching of the uterus (womb). However, severe, persistent, or cramping pain may indicate a complication, so you should contact your doctor or obstetrician promptly for personalised guidance. Avoid self-medicating and watch for warning signs such as bleeding, fever, or dizziness.

I was told I have cystitis and a simple cyst in my right ovary. I?ve had this issue for two years. What should I do?

A simple ovarian cyst is usually harmless and may resolve on its own, but regular ultrasound monitoring is recommended if it persists. Cystitis (a bladder infection) should be treated with antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out bacteria, and avoid irritants such as spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine. It is best to consult both a gynaecologist and a urologist for proper evaluation and personalised management.

I am a 50-year-old female with a history of an intramural uterine fibroid measuring 5.6 mm. What are the next steps for management?

A uterine fibroid measuring 5.6 mm is very small and usually does not require active treatment if you have no symptoms. Regular ultrasound monitoring every 6?12 months is recommended. However, if you experience symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure, consult your gynaecologist for further evaluation and management.

During my period, I have experienced prolonged bleeding for more than a week and feel weak. Can I take Drolute Tablet to manage this condition?

Prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) can have several causes, including hormonal imbalance, fibroids, or anaemia. Drolute Tablet (Dydrogesterone) may be prescribed in some cases to manage menstrual bleeding, but you should consult a doctor or gynaecologist for proper diagnosis and safe treatment. Meanwhile, rest, stay hydrated, and include iron-rich foods in your diet to help manage weakness.

I have experienced mild bleeding without menstruation for the past week, along with mild pain. A local gynaecologist suggested it might be due to weakness. What could be the cause, and what medication should I take?

Mild bleeding and pain without menstruation may have several causes, including hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, infections, early pregnancy, or other underlying conditions. It is important to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation. Treatment should be guided by a doctor based on the underlying cause and may include iron supplements, hormonal therapy, or other medications. Avoid taking any medicine on your own.
