my querry is regarding the menstrual cycle
No problem. Please proceed to your query.
last 2 3 years i have been experiencing this..the flow is reducing.. although its regular every month.. i am 26 yrs old..
next 6 mnths i am planning for a baby but scared that this should not affect it
May I ask how many pads you use in a day?
And for how many days your period lasts?
3 to 4
it lasts for 3 days
Was it more earlier?
4th day is hardly nethn
yes it was
it used to be for 5 days
Do you have any other medical illness such as diabetes, thyroid problems?
the onli difference i can c is that earlier it was lil thick
May I know your weight and height?
n now its thin
no such issues
height is 5 2
my weight is 53
had done sonography earlier
but it was clear
Thanks for confirming the details.
Let me brief you.
yes plz
Average women have periods lasting for 3-5 days.
The number of pads used is 3-4 a day.
From what I see, you are more normal than what you were earlier.
Since your body weight is in ideal limits and you do not have any other medical condition (diabetes/thyroid problems),
I don't see any issues with fertility and normal conceiving.
You can proceed and plan for pregnancy as per your requirements.
Have you followed what I suggested?
Do you have any questions?
i XXXXXXX knw this fright i hv all the time
yes i understood wat u say.. is there any tests or nethn that can completely clear my doubt
Two tests that are done with menstrual irregularities are ultrasound scan and thyroid check.
wat does this ultrascan mean exactly
Since you have undergone scan and it was normal, you need not repeat it again.
ohh so its sonography
If you like to clarify further, you may get your TSH and hemoglobin tested.
hemeglobin i hv tested last year it was normal
TSH is ??
Yes, sonongraphy refers to ultrasound in collaquial language.
okay
Yes, TSH level is a thyroid hormone marker which can clarify further
Do you have any other questions?
okk thanks a lot
Thanks for consulting me.
Bye for now.
bye
