Common questions
Questions we are asked most.
General information, not medical advice for your situation. Bring your own question to a consultation.
Ask on WhatsApp- How heavy is too heavy for a period?
- Soaking a pad or tampon every hour or two, passing clots larger than a rupee coin, bleeding for more than seven days, needing to change protection at night, or feeling breathless and tired. Any of these is a reason to see a doctor.
- Are irregular periods always PCOS?
- No. Thyroid disorders, high prolactin, significant weight change, stress, some medicines and the years approaching menopause all cause irregular cycles. PCOS is diagnosed on a combination of cycle pattern, examination, blood tests and a scan, not on the cycle alone.
- When should I have a cervical screening test?
- Most guidance suggests starting around age 30 for women who have been sexually active, with a Pap test every three years or an HPV test every five. Intervals differ between guidelines and by personal history, so the schedule is worth agreeing with your own doctor.
