I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Continuous bleeding for more than 10 days is usually abnormal and can be linked to hormonal imbalance, especially thyroid issues.

2. Even mild hypothyroidism or wrong dosage of thyroid medicine can disturb your menstrual cycle.

3. Other causes include PCOS, uterine fibroids, polyps, or endometrial thickening which need to be ruled out.

4. You may need thyroid dose adjustment along with gynecological evaluation like ultrasound and blood tests.

5. Please don’t ignore this, as untreated bleeding can cause anemia. Book a consultation soon for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Having moderate bleeding for more than 10 days following a missed period for three months can be concerning, especially when coupled with a thyroid condition, as your thyroid function plays a significant role in regulating your menstrual cycle. The primary reason for such bleeding could be an underlying hormonal imbalance, which might include hypothyroidism, leading to irregular periods. Thyroid hormones interact intricately with reproductive hormones, and if your thyroid medication isn’t effectively controlling your hormone levels, this could result in bleeding irregularities. Another potential cause is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other conditions like uterine fibroids or endometrial polyps, which can result in prolonged menstrual bleeding. Stress, significant weight loss or gain, and other medications can also be contributing factors. It’s essential to consult with your primary healthcare provider to reassess your thyroid medication and ensure that your thyroid levels are well-controlled with appropriate dosing adjustments if needed; a dosage of 25 mcg might be insufficient for some patients. You may require additional tests, like checking your T3, T4, and TSH levels, a pelvic ultrasound to rule out structural causes, or other hormonal evaluations. In some cases, a referral to an endocrinologist or a gynecologist might be necessary. If you experience symptoms like dizziness, excessive fatigue, or severe pain, seek medical advice promptly, as prolonged bleeding can lead to anemia and other complications. Above all, don’t delay in seeking medical advice in such scenarios to appropriately manage and treat your condition effectively.
