Hi, I have been having prolonged period for about a month now. This happened after I have tested positive covid 19. I have taken prescriptions for hormone balancing but I am still bleending. There is no sign for the bleeding to stop. Should be worried or should I just wait?

Hi,

Prolonged menses also known as menorrhagia, can have various causes, including hormonal imbalances, fibroids, polyps, and some cervical issues. Since you mentioned that you tested positive for COVID-19 and are still experiencing this issue, it's important to keep in mind that hormonal changes and irregular periods can be a result of the infection itself.

However, I strongly advise you to consult your regular gynecologist, who can evaluate your condition and advise on the next step. Usually some blood tests and well a pelvic ultrasound will be done. It's important to seek medical advice early to ensure the interventions are tailored to your needs.

Thank you.

Varicose veins pelvic congestion
Hi Doctor and team, My wife is experiencing varicose veins that extend from her leg to her thigh, as well as reaching her pelvic area. We suspect that the veins in the pelvic area might be causing pelvic congestion, leading to back and belly pain. Just wondering, is it a day or overnight if we want to get rid of the varicose vein? and how much it will cost, we are overseas (INA), Once we have this information, we will proceed with organizing everything and contact for an appointment.
