Gayathri

Hello, I am experiencing abnormal menstrual bleeding and need medical advice. Here is my situation: I did not have my periods for three months (August, September, and October 2025). Around November 12–17, 2025, I tried a homemade herbal drink (ingredients included jaggery, cumin, onion, lemon, and water) in an attempt to induce my period, drinking it twice a day for five days. On November 17, 2025, my periods started, but since then I have been bleeding continuously. Today is December 17, 2025, so it has been one month of continuous bleeding. The bleeding is sometimes heavy, and I have noticed significant hair loss during this period. I am worried because this is not normal, and I am concerned about anemia or other underlying issues. I would greatly appreciate your advice on what tests I should take and what treatment is necessary to stop the bleeding. Thank you.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello,

Likely due to hormonal imbalance Yes , Continuous bleeding can cause anemia, which explains hair loss, weakness, and fatigue.

Tests needed: CBC (check anemia) Iron / ferritin levels TSH Pelvic ultrasound

Please dont try more home remedies or dont self medicate.

Please see a gynaecologist in person for taking these tests and proper evaluation.

🛑One month of continuous bleeding is not normal and need treatment

I trust this helps Thank you

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Gayathri Thank you for sharing all these details—this sounds very distressing, and you’re right to be concerned. Continuous bleeding for one month after missing periods for three months is not normal and needs prompt medical attention. The heavy bleeding and hair loss also raise concern for anemia (low blood count) and possible hormonal or structural causes.

Possible causes include: - Hormonal imbalance (like PCOS, thyroid issues, or perimenopause) - Uterine fibroids or polyps - Endometrial (uterine lining) problems - Side effects from herbal remedies (though less likely, but can trigger bleeding in some cases) - Other medical conditions (like bleeding disorders)

What you should do next: 1. See a gynecologist as soon as possible. Continuous bleeding for this long can be serious and may require urgent treatment. 2. Tests you’ll likely need: - Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia - Pelvic ultrasound to look for fibroids, polyps, or other uterine issues - Hormonal profile: thyroid function tests, prolactin, FSH, LH, and possibly others - Coagulation profile (to check for bleeding disorders) 3. Monitor for warning signs: If you feel dizzy, faint, very weak, have chest pain, or notice very heavy bleeding with clots, seek emergency care immediately.

What you can do at home: - Rest as much as possible. - Stay hydrated and eat iron-rich foods (like spinach, lentils, jaggery, pomegranate). - Avoid taking any more herbal or home remedies until you see a doctor.

Important: Only a gynecologist can prescribe the right treatment to stop the bleeding—this may include hormonal medications or other interventions, depending on the cause.

Thank you

I am currently working as a urologist and kidney transplant surgeon at Graphic Era Medical College & Hospital, Dehradun. It's a role that keeps me on my toes, honestly. I handle a pretty wide range of urology cases—stones, prostate issues, urinary tract obstructions, infections, you name it. Some are straightforward, others way more complex than you expect at first glance. Every patient walks in with a different story and that’s what keeps the work real for me. Kidney transplant surgery, though, that’s a whole different zone. You’re not just working on anatomy—you’re dealing with timelines, matching, medications, family dynamics, emotional pressure... and yeah, very precise coordination. I’m part of a team that manages the entire transplant process—from evaluation to surgery to post-op care. Not gonna lie, it’s intense. But seeing someone who’s been on dialysis for years finally get a new shot at life—there’s nothing really like that feeling. In the OR, I’m detail-focused. Outside of it, I try to stay accessible—patients don’t always need answers right away, sometimes they just need to feel heard. I believe in walking them through what’s going on rather than just giving reports and instructions. Especially in transplant cases, trust matters. And clear, honest conversation helps build that. Urology itself is such a misunderstood field sometimes. People ignore symptoms for years because it feels “awkward” or they think it’s not serious until it becomes unmanageable. I’ve had patients who came in late just because they were embarassed to talk about urine flow or testicular pain. That’s why I also try to make the space judgment-free—like whatever it is, we’ll figure it out. At the end of the day, whether I’m scrubbing in for surgery or doing OPD rounds, I just want to make sure what I do *actually* helps. That the effort’s not wasted. And yeah, some days are frustrating—some procedures don’t go clean, some recoveries take longer than they should—but I keep showing up, cause the work’s worth doing. Always is.

Hi Gayathri, thank you for sharing your problem so clearly

What you’re describing is abnormal, prolonged bleeding and needs prompt medical attention.

Continuous bleeding for a month, especially when sometimes heavy, can cause significant blood loss and anaemia, which may explain your hair fall and tiredness.

If you are soaking a pad every 1–2 hours, feeling dizzy, breathless, very weak, or having chest pain or palpitations, go to the emergency room immediately rather than waiting for an appointment.

You now need an in‑person gynecology evaluation with ultrasound and blood tests (especially haemoglobin and iron levels) so that the cause of bleeding can be found and controlled safely with proper medicines.

Until you see a doctor, avoid over‑the‑counter hormonal or herbal remedies on your own, rest as much as possible, stay hydrated, and do not ignore worsening weakness or faintness.

Continuous menstrual bleeding for such an extended period definitely warrants a thorough evaluation and it’s good that you’re reaching out for guidance. Several potential causes could be triggering this, ranging from hormonal imbalances to more structural issues. Given the duration of bleeding and the associated symptoms like hair loss, it’s possible that your condition might be linked to hormonal disruption, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid irregularities, but it’s crucial to also consider anemia due to blood loss and other conditions like fibroids or polyps.

First, I’d recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. You’ll likely need a physical examination and your doctor will probably order some blood tests to assess your hormonal levels, including thyroid function tests and complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia. This not only helps in confirming the suspected diagnosis, but also in ruling out other issues. An ultrasound might be necessary to examine the uterus and ovaries for any abnormalities. Given the heavy bleeding you’re experiencing, treatment might involve medications that can stabilize your bleeding and address any deficiencies. Iron supplements might be recommended to counteract anemia.

Ensure you monitor any symptoms that may worsen, like dizziness, breathlessness, or significant fatigue, as they would necessitate faster intervention. In the mean time, try to rest, hydrate, and maintain a balanced diet. Herbal remedies are useful in some cases but make sure any such treatment shouldn’t replace conventional advice without checking with your doctor. This is really important to address properly, so don’t delay getting medical help.
