      Hi Aradhyaa, while this could just be linked to hormones, if this symptoms continues in the same fashion over the next few months, we would say to have a check up with your doctor. Best wishes, Emma

    I’m 41 yrs old and mine started out as light spotting for a month, so I went to see my doctor for consult and she advised me to use those mini pills or progestin only pills as i have high blood pressure. In the beginning the pills slows down the bleeding but after three weeks it came back heavy and clotty as in every time i pee there’s blood gushing and clots coming at the same time to the point that i have to wear depends diaper at night so I don’t soak the bed. Is this still normal? By the way i had my blood work done and pelvic ultrasound and they found a small cyst on my ovaries, my doctor said that it is fine but I wonder if the cyst is contributing to the bleeding or why is it not stopping. If this is a sign of early menopausal?

      Hi Vera I am very sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, however, I cannot undertake to advise you, given the circumstances. As you are still being treated by your doctor, it is really important that you let them know that the medication they prescribed is no longer helping you and you are becoming concerned about the continual bleeding. They should be able to tell you why this may be happening and offer you an alternative treatment plan.

    I am 49 years old and desperately want a baby, but I went 4 months without a cycle and now my period won't stop. It's going on 1 month

      Hi Tracy It is important to get this checked out by your doctor. Prolonged periods can quickly cause anaemia and this can result in fatigue, anxiety, hair loss and even joint aches. Your doctor can test for low iron and you may also be able to ask for a hormone test to see if pregnancy is still possible.

    Love the conventional medicine section. Apparently all doctors are he. Not sexist in the slightest
