Q&A

Answered by Dr. Nisha Marhatta

Why do I bleed for more than a month despite the fact I never had intercourse?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. At your age, having a prolonged menstrual period is most likely due to some internal hormone upset. As you have not provided me with details of the past, kindly answer me to understand your menstrual cycle better. 1) At what age you started getting periods? 2) How regular have they been? 3) Your present cycle, which is prolonged for more than a month, was it on time or delayed? 4) Have you ever been on any medication? 5) Do you have a previous history of polycystic ovarian syndrome? I suggest you take the tablet of Tranexamic acid 500 mg once daily for three days, along with some multivitamin syrup and iron supplements. Take care.

Can my wife have HPV persistence with a normal colposcopy?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. HPV (human papillomavirus) is a virus that can cause cervical cancer. It can occasionally infect, and the body clears it up by normal immune defense mechanisms; if that fails, subtle changes can happen at the cervix, which over the years can progress into cancer. However, from your history three years back, it was HPV positive with mild cervical changes, but the colposcopy after a year was normal. So there is nothing much to worry about.

I had UTI three years back, and now I am having vaginal discharge. What can I do to cure this?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your problems. Recurrent yeast infection might need prolonged therapy with antifungals. You can send me details of the previous treatment you have taken to guide you further for treatment. Meanwhile, I suggest vaginal probiotics (locally available at the drug store).
