Hello, I am 43 years old and face strong pms before onset of my period. One and half week before I feel very out of focus and cannot concentrate at office work /meetings. I feel I have trouble starting my period and have started taking ferrous sulfate (325 mg) and vitamin b12 tablets lately twice a week with exercise which I feel helps me a lot. But the amount of pms that I get along with trouble starting period which I cannot time demotivates me. Sometimes I will get regular flow sometimes I will just have spotting. I fear with age this problem will grow worse and at some point I will have to quit working as I cannot handle the discomfort this situation will bringing in. Please advice me on how to deal this problem from here on until I get menopause and how to maintain cheerful and active lifestyle here after. Can.

This is a normal part of perimenopause (the period before and after menpause) which is experienced by most women. Please do not take antidepressants as they are not needed. There are many medicines available which work wonders in these situations. They are non hormonal so there is no harm in trying them. Yoga and meditation are always helpful as is addition of soyabean to your daily diet. If you would like to discuss in detail please contact me.

I took microcytic hypochromic anaemia treatment for 2 months (hb was 7.8) and got sudden acne flare up all over my face and neck and also gained 6 kg weight. I read that that taking vitamin b12 increases the amount of that vitamin on facial skin. This, in turn, causes a certain facial bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) to produce more of something called piriformis, which results in inflammation. And this could lead to acne. Before treatment my vitamin b12 levels were 362 pg/ml (211-911), folate was 9.20, ferritin - 56, plasma glucose random - hexokinase 106 and I was given 1500 mg methylcobalamin, folic acid 5 mg, ferrous sulphate 200 mg bd, ascorbic acid 500 mg bd for 2 months everyday. My lymphocytes are 51. It has been 10 days after stopping this medication but still new pus filled acne is coming everyday. Could it be because of methylcobalamin or high lymphocytes? Should I get porphyrins tests done? What to do for acne caused due to vitamin b12?

very less possibility of porphyrins.. treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Your baby may have some congenital platelet dysfunction (blood defect since birth) which is hereditary in nature. It needs thorough evaluation with platelet function study and coagulation screening workup. The screening with high end teg platelet mapping is available only at durgapur mission hospital, west bengal in Eastern India. You should consult with hematologist there at earliest. Hope it helps.
