Accepted Answer

Variation on normal: What you described is likely a normal variation on your menstrual pattern. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 8

i have had bronchitis since jan 1,been off work i am still coughing, bringing mucus up when i cough. should i stay off work longer? how much longer?

Accepted Answer

Strictly: speaking you are NOT "contagious" and can return to work..Ask your PCP (Primary Care Provider) for a COUGH SUPPRESSANT since your coughing may make your work contacts uncomfortable and it's not doing you a lot of good at this point!!!
Hope this helps!

Question 9

two times ive gone to the bathroom ive had a clear mucus like substance from my anus. im not experiencing any pain, i do have a hemorrhoid that is external and is almost gone, it no longer hurts, its two weeks old. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: Passing mucus through the rectum isn't concerning unless there is copious amount or associated intestinal symptoms or there is a STD  present.  However since you were experiencing anal discomfort an anal fissure may have been the cause. A proctologist is best to evaluate you if anal discomfort or problematic hemorrhoidal symptoms don't fully resolve.

Question 10

how could i possibly have gotten a sore throat right after kissing someone thats lasted for 2 months. there were white spots and theres been some green mucus. isnt the incubation period for anything longer than getting symptoms right afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Happens often: Sore throats are common (everybody gets them). Kisses are common (everybody gets them). Therefore, it is highly likely that at one time or another a person will get sore throat symptoms just before kissing, during kissing, or just after kissing. After all, there are only 365 days in a year, and two things often can happen on the same day.
