Don't ever do that. I repeat don't. I have been in a similar situation as well. I didn't use to eat anything in breakfast and go to college empty stomach. then lunch also I used to skip sometimes. finally one proper meal that I use to hv was dinner. As a result of this cycle I got sick. I was getting vomiting for several days, loose motions. Make sure that you eat something in breakfast such as fruits, yogurt, bread, cereal etc.

Hi there, I hope you are well. -Yes, skipping meals can definitely have an impact on your menstrual cycle and it lead to painful periods. This has been proven by studies, as well. Skipping meals is considered to be a potential cause of increased menstrual pain. - However , I'd like to mention that skipping any meal of the day, may even lead digestive issues, including acidity, and bloating. - Hence, it is best to space out your meals, and if you feel that you cannot have a heavy breakfast, you can opt for a fruit with a couple of nuts, or have sprouts seasoned with black pepper, and salt. Also, you can opt for a smaller portion of any breakfast item, such as poha/upma/2 pieces of sandwich/1-2 idlis/1 moong chilla or pancake, etc. - This will ensure that you don't remain empty stomach. I hope this helps, take care ✨

You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.

Sexologist_DrKalps・11d

Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

How can nutrition play a role in addressing common women’s health concerns such as menstrual irregularities, PMS symptoms, or menopausal transitions?

NutriVibe

Seemachaudhary・4d

Regulating menstrual cycles with iron-rich foods. Easing PMS symptoms through magnesium and vitamin B6.Managing menopausal symptoms with phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy.

Na_Dia・4d

For menstrual irregularities and PMS symptoms, maintaining stable blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and lean proteins can help alleviate symptoms. Incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and vitamin B6 may also be beneficial. During menopause, consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D helps maintain bone health. Phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy products can help alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms. Adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides essential nutrients and supports overall health during this transitional phase. Additionally, staying hydrated and reducing caffeine and alcohol intake can help manage symptoms.

I am getting rashes from pads. What can I do to stop them?

If you have noticed rashes with one pad brand, it maybe helpful to try another. Another reason could also be using the pad for extended periods of time, which makes you more prone to rashes. Alternatives can include period panties or cloth pads which can help prevent rashes and are also eco-friendly as they are reusable. During your periods opt for loose cotton underwear and change it twice a day to limit sweat and rashes. If this doesn't subside with these simple changes, check in with a doctor to understand a possible underlying cause.

hina・3d

Keep the affected area clean and dry, you can also apply a soothing cream or ointment that you can purchase over the counter. Ensure you're changing pads frequently to help prevent sanitary pad rash.

Sexologist_DrKalps・3d

In ancient times, it was said that a couple should not have sex during periods when woman is on her period. But From a modern medical point of view, sexual intercourse during menstruation is normal and not perversion. But it can be associated, although remotely, with undesirable pregnancy, the development of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and possible endometriosis. To avoid pregnancy/infection one can use condom while doing it. But regularly indulging in period sex can be cause of retrograde menstruation and it can carry fresh pieces of endometrium which can get implantated outside uterus like on ovaries, uterine ligaments or even rectum. This is endometriosis. So take this into consideration.

intimacycoachsampadafotedar・1d

Yes you can absolutely do it! Infact, periods can make sex more pleasureable too as period blood is a natural lubricant! Just make sure you are being safe: using protection if you are not planning a pregnancy and to remain safe from STIs as well. Proper communication and consent are important!

Vitamin D deficiency affects our menstrual health very much. Having a balanced and nutrition rich diets is important.

NutritionistHudaShaikh・3d

Hi there, I hope you are well. -Yes, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 deficiency can affect your menstrual cycle :) -These nutrients are needed for proper functioning of the reproductive system. Here's how you can get enough Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12. -Vitamin D- Get enough sunlight, and foods like eggs, lean meat nuts, seeds, and fortified foods. - Vitamin B12- Dairy and dairy products, salmon, eggs, chicken, mushroom etc. - Vitamin B6- Liver, green leafy veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, etc. - Have a well-balanced diet, and include enough protein,fibre, and iron in the diet as well :) I hope this helps. Take care.

#HealthCheck What are some common signs of an STD? Do all STDs have physical signs? The key to remember is most STDs can be treated through medications. Check in with your doctor at the earliest if you have any signs of an STD.

Yes, these are some symptoms, but there are possibilities that you might not have any symptoms for some days still you have STI. In some cases symptoms appear after window period just like in HIV infection. Some infection may remain silent and will make trouble to your partner/when you become weak on immunity level, they will start appearing. Women may experience the following symptoms also: Burning or itching in the vagina A discharge or odor from the vagina Pain around the pelvis Bleeding from the vagina that is not normal Pain deep inside during sex Sores, bumps or blisters in the vagina, anus, or mouth Burning and pain with urine or with bowel movements Having to go to the bathroom often warts/skin tags around genitals Some STI can give you cancer also like HPV infection. So never underestimate STI. whenever you have any of these symptoms, always consult with gynec or Sexologist. Get yourself tested If you have multiple partners always use precautions(condom/ female condom).
