Periods
Menstrual frequency is considered normal if periods occur every 21-35 days. If the occur more frequently, or there is bleeding in between periods, I would recommend seeing a gynecologist to determine an underlying cause. READ MORE
Bleeding and abdominal pain
If there is a change to your menstrual period and you are sexually active, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test. Changes to your menstrual cycle and vaginal bleeding can be caused by infections, underlying medical conditions, changes in medications or supplements, stress. If your period is irregular or you are experiencing bleeding/spotting between your periods you should see a gynecologist to help determine the cause. READ MORE
question
Peeing a lot , or urinary frequency, and burning or irritation can indicate a bladder infection. I recommend you schedule a doctor visit to have appropriate testing done, which usually includes leaving a urine sample. If possible, go to your visit with a full bladder. READ MORE
