A period lasting more than a week may be due to hormonal imbalance, uterine fibroids, thyroid problems, or certain medications, and the prolonged bleeding can lead to iron deficiency or anaemia, which causes weakness. It's essential to consult a gynaecologist for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and an ultrasound, to identify the exact cause. Treatment may involve iron supplements, hormonal medicines, or other specific therapy depending on the diagnosis. Until then, try to rest well, stay hydrated, and eat iron-rich foods to help manage fatigue.

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often during a woman's reproductive years. They form due to hormonal and genetic factors and can vary in size and number. Many women have no symptoms, but some may experience heavy periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or difficulty conceiving. Diagnosis is usually made through an ultrasound or pelvic exam. Treatment depends on symptoms and may include medicines, minor procedures, or surgery. It's best to consult a gynaecologist to confirm the diagnosis and choose the most suitable treatment.

Excessive menstrual bleeding, known as menorrhagia, can result from hormonal imbalance, uterine fibroids, polyps, thyroid disorders, endometriosis, adenomyosis, bleeding disorders, certain medications, or intrauterine devices (IUDs). It may also occur due to pelvic infections or other underlying health issues. Since prolonged heavy bleeding can cause anaemia and fatigue, it's essential to consult a gynaecologist for proper diagnosis. The doctor may recommend blood tests, a pelvic ultrasound, or a hormonal evaluation to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Management of an intramural uterine fibroid depends on its size, symptoms, and your fertility plans. Small, symptom-free fibroids may only need regular monitoring. If you experience heavy bleeding or pelvic pain, treatment options include medications to balance hormones and control bleeding, non-surgical procedures like uterine artery embolisation or focused ultrasound to shrink the fibroid, or surgery such as myomectomy to remove the fibroid or hysterectomy if future pregnancy is not planned. Your gynaecologist can help choose the safest and most suitable option based on your condition and reproductive goals.

Having cystitis and a simple ovarian cyst for two years needs medical evaluation. A gynaecologist or urologist can assess the underlying cause through tests like an ultrasound or urine analysis and suggest appropriate treatment. Consulting a doctor is essential to ensure proper diagnosis and timely management.

Mild stomach pain during early pregnancy can sometimes be normal due to uterine stretching, hormonal changes, gas, or constipation. However, it can also indicate other conditions such as urinary infection, gastritis, or pregnancy-related complications. It's essential to inform your gynaecologist about the pain so they can properly assess it and suggest safe treatment if needed. If the pain becomes severe, persistent, or is associated with bleeding, dizziness, or vomiting, seek medical attention without delay. Avoid self-medicating or using home remedies, as only a doctor can confirm the cause and ensure both your health and your baby's safety.
