Heavy menses are always due to any pathological cause of female sexual organs. If, all reports of ultrasound is normal then get hormonal assay done. Get check level of fsh, lh, estrogen and tsh done. Because it may be due to some hormonal disturbance.

Difficult to determine unless she is habituated to sex. Absence of hymen does not mean absence of virginity, since inadvertent tears do happen during childhood.

Hi lybrate user, if your wife is hbsag positive please check for yourself also as it is sexually transmitted diseases. Ask to get hbv dna titre to know risk of transmission to baby. You need to be extra cautious during delivery as it may transmit baby. Baby needs to take immunoglobin after birth immediately.

She should wait for her periods then 10 days after the due date for periods, she can do urine pregnancy test and tell me report for better guidance.

For a healthy pregnancy minimum spacing of 2 years is a must.The womans body needs to recover from a previous delivery and also the previous child needs care .Consult your gynaec about contraception immediately after her delivery for proper spacing between 2 pregnancies.

If you are interested in modern medicine, you can call and discuss your problem. I will suggest you accordingly.

You should go for USG for uterus and adnexa. As you are thallasemia minor make sure that your husband should not be thallassemia minor positive. Chances of baby being thal. Mazor will be their, Take care.

No one can tell any specific date of pregnancy. If you had intercourse only one time after your last period then that is the date of your pregnancy.

Hello, If its salpingitis then a course of antibiotics and then anti koch's treatment should be offered. If no result then option is IVF.

As your tubes are blocked they need to be sorted before any medicines work and for this surgery will be needed. Other option is to go for IVF

Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. The answer is after almost 15 days. Pregnancy tests check for the presence of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), in your urine. Your body begins to produce HCG after you conceive. If you get a positive test result on the first day of your missed period, it's probably about two weeks since you conceived. Take care.

No its difficult to say but at this time of regular menstrual cylce of 28 days , its less chances of getting pregnant .

Hello lybrate-user, your wife should keep the baby on breast milk only. No top feeding. Do hot water foamentation of breast to make the breast soft, express out the excess milk with the help of breast pump available on medical store and discard this milk.

If you have taken Ipill then it does make periods irregular and it is very difficult to predict the next period... Sometimes it remains irregular for long more than 2 periods...

Papaya will never work for terminating pregnancy. As she has missed her periods, she should get urine pregnancy test done to find out pregnancy. Only is pregnancy is confirmed, then it can be terminated with the pill by which abortion occurs naturally. It can be done only till 7 weeks so please hurry to get this done as she is already 6 weeks, if she is pregnant.

How many glasses of water should you really have?

The onset of winter lowers temperatures and also initiates the loss of moisture from your body due to dryness. In this season, your body requires more fluids to eliminate possibilities of chapped lips, acne, flaky skin and dry cough. So, to cope with the reduced moisture level of your body, the right amount of water intake is necessary.

How does your body lose water even when you sweat less?

Winter, unlike the other seasons of the year, is devoid of hot, sunny days, but that doesn’t mean that your body is free from water loss. Generally, heat generated by furnaces, heaters and fires are the reasons behind sweating in winter. Also, water leaves your body during winters through the steamy breath you exhale when exposed to lower temperatures.


What are the risks of drinking less water in winters?

Dehydration in winters can negatively affect your body, ranging from causing common cold or flu to serious issues like stroke. Moreover, when your body lacks hydration, you may experience bizarre appetite patterns. This is caused due to the fact that less fluid consumption results in lack of energy in the body. This leads your body towards utilising the available fat for energy, making you thirsty, which is often misunderstood as hunger.


So how much water should you drink on cold winter days?
The amount of water intake required in winter varies from person to person due to the difference in gender and physical activities performed by a person throughout the day. However, amount of water intake in winters may be approximated as follows:

1. For Men: 8 to 10 glasses of water consumption per day is ideal for men with normal activity levels

2. For Women: Commonly, women should drink between 6 to 8 glasses of water throughout the day to keep themselves healthy

3. For Men Who Workout: Men with a regular exercise regime should have a raised water consumption amount of 10 to 14 glasses every day

4. For Women Who Workout: Women who exercise daily should increase their water intake to 8 to 12 glasses each day

5. For Lactating Mothers: In case of lactating/breast feeding mothers, 7 to 10 glasses of water intake per day is considered to be ideal

Sticking to these many glasses a day during winters can prove to be difficult for people facing extreme climates; but there are certain things you can do to increase your water consumption.

How can you increase your water consumption?

There are numerous ways, which let you increase your water consumption during winters without directly drinking water. These are-

1. Include more water based fruits (watermelons, pineapples, grapes etc) and vegetables (radish, spinach, cauliflower etc) in your daily diet to hydrate your body

2. Train yourself to drink water all through your workout session by timing your water intake at regular intervals

3. Have a bowl of hot soup before your meals to increase your intake of water

4. Use a humidifier to inhale moist air instead of the dry air prevalent during winter

Water intake plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the human body and is as important in winter as in other seasons.
