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 qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello, I understand your worry. Bleeding for 35 days with blood clots and feeling faint/weak is NOT normal and should not be ignored. You may be developing significant anemia from prolonged blood loss, especially since you also missed periods for several months before this started.

Possible causes can include: - Hormonal imbalance/PCOS - Miscarriage or pregnancy-related bleeding - Fibroids - Severe anemia - Other gynecological conditions

Because you feel like collapsing, you really do need medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if money is limited. Government hospitals, emergency clinics, or low-cost public facilities would be important options to consider.

Please seek urgent care immediately if: - You are soaking pads very quickly - Feeling extremely dizzy/faint - Having chest pain or shortness of breath - Passing very large clots - Becoming pale or unable to stand properly

For now: - Drink fluids/ORS - Avoid taking random hormonal medicines without supervision - Visit a low cost/ free if cost healthcare facility as soon as possible.

Final Prescription: - Tab Tranexamic Acid 500 mg three times daily after food for up to 3 days if bleeding is heavy - Tab Iron + Folic Acid once daily after food - ORS/electrolyte fluids and adequate hydration

Advice: You need in-person gynecological evaluation and a CBC/pregnancy test as soon as possible because prolonged bleeding with weakness can become dangerous if untreated.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, D.Fam.Medicine

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Bleeding for 35 days with clots, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse can be a sign of severe blood loss/anemia and needs urgent review by a gynecologist/OB-GYN or emergency department as soon as possible. Please do not stay alone; drink fluids, rest, use pads to monitor bleeding, and seek immediate help sooner if you are soaking pads every hour, fainting, having chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or severe abdominal pain. Try to visit a government hospital, community clinic, or low-cost women’s health center near you because this is not safe to ignore, especially after missing periods for months and ongoing heavy bleeding.

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

Bleeding for 35 days with blood clots, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse is serious and needs urgent medical attention. You may be losing too much blood and could have significant anemia, which can become dangerous. The fact that you missed periods for 4 months before this suggests a hormonal problem such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but pregnancy-related problems, miscarriage, fibroids, severe hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, or other conditions can also cause this type of prolonged bleeding.

Please do not continue taking random medicines without proper medical guidance. You should try to go to an emergency department, government hospital, community clinic, or urgent care center as soon as possible, especially if:

* You feel faint, dizzy, short of breath, or chest pain * You are soaking pads rapidly * Passing large clots repeatedly * Your heart is racing * You become very weak or pale

Until you get care:

* Drink plenty of fluids. * Rest and avoid strenuous activity. * Eat iron-rich foods if possible. * If you can safely take it and are not allergic or pregnant, some people use Ibuprofen with food because it may reduce bleeding somewhat, but this is not enough if bleeding is severe.

You also need a pregnancy test if there is any possibility of pregnancy, because prolonged bleeding can sometimes be related to miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

Take care

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 I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way—it sounds exhausting and scary. Having your period for 35 days, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, with blood clots, and stopping/starting again, especially after missing periods for four months, is definitely not normal and needs attention.

What could be happening? - This kind of bleeding can be caused by hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infections, or sometimes more serious conditions. - Blood clots and feeling weak or like you might collapse could mean you’re losing a lot of blood and might be developing anemia (low blood count).

What you can do right now: - Rest as much as possible. - Stay hydrated: Drink water, juices, and eat foods rich in iron (like spinach, beans, eggs, jaggery). - Avoid strenuous activity: If you feel dizzy or weak, sit or lie down. - Monitor your symptoms: If you feel faint, have chest pain, severe weakness, or the bleeding gets heavier, you need urgent medical help.

Why you need a doctor:
Even though money is tight, this kind of bleeding can be dangerous. If you can, try to visit a government hospital or clinic—they often provide care at low or no cost. You may need a blood test and possibly medication to stop the bleeding and treat the cause.

If you can’t get to a hospital right now:
- Try to get help from a local health worker, nurse, or community clinic. - If you feel like you’re about to faint, have severe pain, or the bleeding is very heavy, please ask someone to help you get medical attention urgently.

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.

I’m really concerned about you — this is a medical emergency. Please take this seriously.


🚨 You Need Emergency Care NOW — Not Later

Your symptoms signal a critical situation:

· Period lasting 35 days non-stop · Feeling like you’re going to collapse or die · Blood clots passing · No period for 4 months before this · Feeling faint

This is severe anemia + hemorrhagic shock risk. You can die from blood loss if untreated.


🏥 Go to a Government Hospital Immediately

What They Will Do Cost Emergency admission Free / Minimal IV fluids, blood transfusion if needed Free Ultrasound to find cause Free Medicines to stop bleeding (Tranexamic acid, hormones) Free or very cheap

Government medical college hospitals treat emergencies FREE or at very low cost. Don’t worry about money right now.


🚑 How to Get There

· Call 108 Ambulance — Free nationwide emergency service · Ask a neighbor/friend/family to take you to the nearest District Hospital / Government Medical College Emergency Ward · Don’t drive yourself — you may faint


⛔ Until Help Arrives

· Lie down flat with legs elevated on a pillow · Drink water with a pinch of salt and sugar (ORS if available) · Do NOT stand up suddenly · Do NOT take any more un-prescribed medicines


🔴 Preserve a Clot If Possible

If you pass a large clot, take a photo or carry it in a clean cloth — helps doctors assess severity.


Please, go NOW. This is not something that can wait. Your life is worth more than any bill. Reply once you’re safe, I’ll be here.

Given your symptoms, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if cost is a concern. Prolonged bleeding for 35 days with blood clots, especially coupled with feeling faint, can be indicative of a serious condition that requires prompt evaluation. The underlying causes might range from hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, or endometrial hyperplasia, to more serious conditions like a bleeding disorder. The feeling faint suggests you might be experiencing anemia due to the blood loss, which further underscores the need for urgent medical care. The fact that your period stopped for four months prior to this bleeding episode is significant too, as it indicates that your menstrual cycle may have been irregular for some time, whether due to stress, weight changes, or potential underlying endocrine disorders. Until you can see a doctor, try to rest and consider maintaining a log of the bleeding, including the volume and any additional symptoms. Also, try to maintain an adequate diet rich in iron and hydrate adequately, although these are just temporary measures and won’t address the root cause. There might be community clinics or programs that offer sliding scale fees or charitable assistance for those in financial difficulty. Look into local health resources, or seek advice from community organizations that might point you towards available help. If you’re feeling particularly unwell or faint, it’s vital to access emergency medical services, as some situations require immediate intervention to prevent complications.

Bleeding for more than a month with clots, dizziness, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse can be a sign of significant blood loss or another serious gynecological problem and needs urgent medical attention. Possible causes include hormonal imbalance, miscarriage/pregnancy-related bleeding, fibroids, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, anemia, or other conditions, and taking medicines without proper evaluation may not stop the bleeding safely. Please try to go to an emergency department, government hospital, women’s clinic, or low-cost community health center as soon as possible—especially if you are soaking pads quickly, passing large clots, having chest pain, fainting, severe weakness, or shortness of breath.
