Yes, always! In fact, the moment I feel that my body has been giving me some signals, and I haven't been as energetic as I usually am...then, I'll visit the doctor as soon as possible.

Annual checks are really important. You may not always have a symptom or complaints. If we can detect a disease in the early stage the chance of complications are reduced to a great extent. "Prevention is better than Cure" .......and so Annual Check ups are a must 🙂🙂

You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.

Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

How long does it take for a man to realize what he lost in his ex is something that he will not find anywhere, in any other women?

What do you want him to "find" in other women? Please share. It can take a day or even months. Life goes on, people will find new people who suit their interests. Most are normally like others and it's heartbreaking to lose what you loved and cared that you obsess over other person taking those things. Relax, it will take time to get over it.

Hi there, I hope you are well. It's best to consult a gynecologist at this stage because you may need to go through some blood tests and only then the cause can be ascertained. Hence, please visit a doctor at the earliest:) Take care.

Sexologist_DrKalps・-19d

consult gynec as early as possible, instead of taking home remedies/social media suggestions. It will be best for your health.

Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!

hina・-2d

There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.

How can nutrition play a role in addressing common women’s health concerns such as menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, or menopausal transitions?

Regulating menstrual cycles with iron-rich foods. Easing PMS symptoms through magnesium and vitamin B6.Managing menopausal symptoms with phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy.

Na_Dia・-1d

For menstrual irregularities and PMS symptoms, maintaining stable blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and lean proteins can help alleviate symptoms. Incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin B6 may also be beneficial. During menopause, consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone health. Phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy products can help alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms. Adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides essential nutrients and supports overall health during this transitional phase. Additionally, staying hydrated and reducing caffeine and alcohol intake can help manage symptoms.

Throughout your menstrual cycle the key is a balanced diet. This becomes more important during your luteal phase where you might experience cravings resulting from hormonal fluctuations. Try to opt for smaller meals throughout the day, add plenty of fibre and protein to your meals, which will keep you full throughout the day and avoid eating processed food as much as possible. Preparing your meals weekly, stocking up on snacks such as fruits, nuts and yogurt, making sure you drink plenty of water during the day is often. sufficient to ensure you follow a healthy diet.

NutritionistHudaShaikh・-9d

Hi there, I hope you are well. Here's how you can eat as per each phase of your menstrual cycle. 1) MENSTRUAL PHASE (1-3 -7days)- This is the phase when your endometrial lining is shed and the estrogen and progesterone levels are low. You need to eat foods rich in fibre, protein, good fats , and rich in antioxidants. Pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, kidney beans, bell peppers, red- black grapes, berries are good to consume during this stage. - Follicular phase (3-7 until 12)- During this phase your Estrogen levels are high as there is development of follicles and magnesium levels are low. So, you must include berries, lean meat, lentils, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, avocado, broccoli, citrus fruits, oats,etc. - Ovulatory phase( 12-16)- During this phase there is release of an egg and hence, Estrogen levels are it's peak. Foods rich in fibre can help with increasing Estrogen levels. Salmon, grapes, berries, spinach, lean meat, muskmelon, lentils, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds are great options.

Unexpected bleeding, especially when it doesn't coincide with the expected menstrual cycle, can be a sign of a more serious issue, such as: Uterine fibroids Endometriosis.

The fact that her last period was 20 days late and longer than usual suggests an irregularity that should be addressed.
