Why does my sister have mental breakdowns only during periods?

Hello doctor,

My sister has had symptoms of a nervous breakdown. She had her womb removed. She also had liver issues and had been prescribed too much serotonin and contraceptives which badly hurt her liver. Every time she comes up to her time of period (although the womb is gone), she gets mentally unstable and very low mood. Sometimes she has dark thoughts that she cannot see the next day. She does not want to live, and she is in tears. She is doing fine for the rest of the month but could be better. She has had endless tests, but none result in actual actions.

Please offer some advice.

Thank you.

What can I do to recover from cold, fever, and sore throat at the earliest?

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from a cold and fever for the past few days. I took tablet Acetaminophen, but I am not recovering. I have developed headaches, sore throat, and tiredness. I am in my early 30s and unmarried. I came across one of my colleagues with the same symptoms two days before I had it.

I have important work to get done within this week, so help me recover from this doctor.

Thank you.

Can you suggest medications to reduce heavy bleeding?

Hi doctor,

My napkins get soaked every two hours, and I cannot focus on my job. Also, this is physically exhausting. I need to change the napkin in my office frequently. I am constantly worried about the period stain. I get periods almost every month, and it bleeds for a maximum of three days. All the three days, it bleeds heavily. I usually do not have pain and cramps.

Can you suggest to me some tablets to reduce the bleeding severity? Also, what can I do to increase my blood levels? I fear I have lost a lot of blood already due to this. I feel fragile, and it is frustrating.

Thank you.

What can be the reason for loose, watery, and greenish stools?

Hi doctor,

Three days back, I ate meat ramen. Nothing was fishy at that moment, but as two days passed, I felt a mild cramping pain in my stomach today. I then had a zero sugar soft drink thinking the gas in it would resolve my stomach pain as I thought I had some bloating. But then the pain did not resolve, and after two hours, I passed loose, watery, greenish stools. I would have passed at least three times today, and I feel I still would pass. What has happened to me? I suspect it to be some food poison. Because after that meat noodle, I had a burrito the next day, some pasta, and pizza. Everything had some meat in them, so I was confused about which food was the cause. I also had alcohol all three nights. What should I do now? I feel extremely weak and have been drinking only water. Whatever I eat, I throw up. I already have vomited twice today. Please help.
