Question 1

Question 2

pls help. i quit smoking 5 weeks ago and i presently have my period and passed 5 large blood cloths  (3 inches big) in one hour, should i be worried?

Congrat's quit smoke: Congratulations for quitting smoking. Your abnormal bleeding is not related to your smoking. You should be examined to r/o pregnancy, ovarian cyst, uterine fibroids, endocrine problems. Your periods may return to normal or this problem may continue and need further evaluation for proper management by your gynecologist.

Question 3

i quit smoking cold turkey 3-7-13. i had a slightly irregular period 2-3-13 (lighter, shorter). i haven't had a period since, negative hpt. related?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: There's no telling what will happen to the brain and its functions, including regulating the cycle, when a person stops smoking as you did. However, i could find nothing in the medical literature to support this, and perhaps you & your physician can seek the cause elsewhere if this persists. Mostly, i simply wanted to congratulate you. Stay physically fit and eat healthy; i bet the cycle resumes.

Question 4

since i quit smoking(1year ago), i no longer pass large blood clots on my period. my period is also shorter, lighter, and less cramping. how come?

So, your periods will be lighter , shorter with less cramping. This is all good. Congratulations! quitting smoking is very difficult.

Accepted Answer

: Have this person see a dentist for an exam. The teeth are probably out of alignment as well as some missing, causing this noise. A normal bite will not cause these symptoms.
