You should see your doctor as soon as you suspect or confirm a chemical pregnancy. They may do a physical exam or blood tests to ensure your hormone levels return to normal and rule out other complications. If you’ve had repeated early losses, your doctor may suggest further testing to find out why.
Postpartum bleeding, or lochia, may typically last for about 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. It’s usually heaviest in the first few days and gradually changes from bright red to pink or yellowish-white. If the bleeding is heavy, has large clots or has a foul smell, see your doctor right away, as it could signal an infection or other issue.
Diagnosis usually involves a combination of tests, including pelvic exams, imaging scans (like ultrasound or CT) and blood tests to check for tumour markers. If cancer is suspected, your doctor may recommend a biopsy or surgery to confirm the diagnosis and determine its stage.
Treatment depends on your symptoms and whether you’re planning to have children. Small cysts without symptoms may just need regular monitoring, while painful or large cysts might require medications to control hormones or surgery to remove the cyst. Your doctor will help decide the best approach based on your age, symptoms and fertility goals.
After a miscarriage, it’s important to see your doctor to ensure the uterus has cleared completely and there are no signs of infection or heavy bleeding. You may need an ultrasound or blood tests. Emotional recovery is just as important; don’t hesitate to seek counselling or support if you’re struggling to cope.
Treatment depends on the cause. Bacterial vaginitis is usually treated with antibiotics, yeast infections with antifungal medicines and trichomoniasis with antiparasitic drugs. Your doctor will identify the cause through tests and recommend the right treatment. Avoid self-medicating as a proper diagnosis can help with faster and safer recovery.
After treatment, make sure you focus on a balanced and nourishing diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Staying hydrated and getting enough iron and vitamins helps rebuild strength. Limit processed foods, red meat and sugar. If you’re undergoing treatment, a dietitian can help create a personalised meal plan to support your recovery and maintain energy levels.
