Hormones

My period started when I was 13 years old. I am 15 now. It became irregular a few months after the start of my period. Last year I went to see a gynecologist. He got me tested for hormones, hemoglobin, etc. Then he gave me medicine. Corona did not visit him again this year. Now I am not menstruating without taking medicine. How to cure this disease?

Answer: This is usually due to hormones such as polycystic ovary syndrome or subclinical hypothyroidism in adolescence. Hormone tests did not specify what the problem was. Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness. Proper treatment of certain hormonal problems is required. Check thyroid, prolactin, testosterone and other hormones and consult a specialist.

Teeth

I am 21 years old. Although there has been no dental problem before, the first two teeth of the jaw have been very tense lately, with little pain. Notice that there is a slight gap between the two teeth. I am using another toothpaste instead of toothpaste. Maybe that’s why this problem has arisen. What can I do to avoid chronic erosion?

Answer: If the protective lining of the tooth is eroded due to uneven or abnormal bite of the tooth, it may cause cavities and cavities. Medicated special toothpaste is safe to use on the advice of a dentist. He or she may recommend orthodontic treatment to identify the underlying cause and restore the tooth to its normal position. It is possible to heal damaged defenses by filling. And if the marrow is infected, root canal treatment may be needed.

Nose, ear, throat

I have a runny nose. It’s a little hard to taste, sometimes I smell. I have a cold. But the phlegm comes out a little more and the spit a little more. What can I do?

Answer: You can take hot water steam 3-4 times a day. Breathing exercises will also benefit you. Inhale through the nose with the mouth closed and exhale. In this way, make it a habit to breathe all the time. And spitting is normal. Some are less, some are a little more. If you feel like spitting out too much, drink a little water for a while. You can also put cloves, cardamom or cinnamon in your mouth. In addition, you can take gas medicine for some time. If the problem of cough does not go away, seek the help of a thoracic specialist.
