• Transvaginal ultrasound

  well I'll tell you the story since the beginning. when i first had my period it used to take 15 days while others had it for 7 days maximum. and then it started to be more of brown and kind of "not liquid" but not always. and sometimes it starts with that for a week and then the flow becomes normal not for another 5 to 7 days. when i was 16 i didn't have it for 5 months or six. i went to see a doctor and he says there's nothing. after it came and i was bleeding for a whole month. this time the doctor found out i had pcos. i took a medicine they gave me i recall it was for 3 months and take it from the 16th day to the 25th. but shortly after finishing those three months it became irregular again. then when i became 20 i went to check again and this time everything was normal in my ovaries and the blood results were good. but then why i had that problem. i mean when i saw that doctor that said i was fine i was 50 days delayed. she gave me the same medicine but this time i didn't take it. well sometimes it's regular and sometimes it gets delayed and sometimes i get that brown thing. now for the past year i have it in 40 days regularly. but i believe the normal cycle take 35 maximum. mine take 40 to 42 days. but it was regular the whole year. it only was delayed for 60 days 5 months ago and when it came the brown came first for a week then the regular flow. then i had two more periods normally that took 40 to 42 days but now it happened again. it's not delayed it's 40 days but only the brown thing. but this time is a bit different because it's a mix of brown red and it's heavy and based on what i was told that heavy thing is not a good sign. not the flow but thing is heavy. I'm sorry for my poor language and i hope you understand and help me. don't want to go a doctor again because whatever the problem is. they don't tell me what it is and the same treatment is given to me. it does not help me recover it only hides the symptoms. by the way i am 22

  • With your history alone , nobody can give you a diagnose. It sounds like PCO like they told you once. But that is a born-in disturvbance that you cannot cure, only treat the symptoms of abnormal bleeding and , if necessary, acné and hairgrowth. And the moment that pregnancy will be demanded, hormonal stimulation. And it excists in many grades and forms.
    But if you want to know, you will have to visit a gynecologist, while that is the specialist of hormonal disturbances.
    You'll need an echo and a bloodtest and first of all a clinical examinatiion.
    Hopefully it helps a little.

• Bereavement support

  Hello, I’m in pain due to a grief of loss. What can I take to relieve heart pain?

  • I would highly suggest talking to your doctor if it's a physical pain you are experiencing. You can also do some breathing exercices to calm your nervous system (square breathing). If you are ready or feel you need therapy to accompany you in these trying times, that could also work

• Sport aptitude examination

  I am 15. 192cm, 64kg. i want to gain muscle mass these months because i am skinny. i wanted to ask if going to the gym can cause arthrosis. And i was wondering if i can take whey protein powder, and creatine monohydrate.

  • So, a couple of things. You are unusually tall for your age, and certainly not heavy. A long and lanky build can sometimes slightly decrease joint stability because there is a larger leverage at play when you lift weights, thus more stress on your joints. That being said. If you are in good health, there is no reason that you cannot work out at the age of 15 if you do not overdo it. Healthy weightlifting with progressive overload (lifting heavier weights over weeks to months) should be fine. Your diet will play the most important role in what your efforts in the gym will yield, so make sure you eat right and, most importantly, DO YOUR EXERCIS...ES IN THE CORRECT MOTION. Get a personal trainer or an more experienced member of the gym to show you how to move, especially on open chain movement exercises. Your posture and form are important to avoid injury, be it muscular, ligamentous, or joint-related. To your direct question. Arthrosis is a wear-and-tear effect of chronic overuse of your joints. Any use will eventually lead to it; heavier use, if done incorrectly, will progress its development. However, exercise within measure can also have a protective role. Doing no activity is also a danger to the cartilage.
    
    In summary, if you want to train, do so. Don't forget your diet. Get some very good advice and get the movements down before you start training alone and with heavy free weights so you don't acutely injure yourself and, for chronic injury, just work out with measure and allow your body to recuperate between workouts. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
