✨ A Night Shift Story Every Woman Should Read ✨

✍️That night on call started like every other one. I had just settled in when a lady walked into the hospital with her friend. I went to her gently and asked what brought her in. To my surprise, she refused to talk. She insisted she wanted to see the doctor directly and did not want to go through the normal procedure of first seeing the nurse in OPD.

👔I tried to explain to her that this step is important — not to waste her time, but so we can get her details, take her vitals, and make sure the doctor has all the information needed to help her. But she kept resisting, raising her voice, insisting that she didn’t want to repeat her story.

🧶Eventually, after much back and forth, I had to call the doctor. Even then, she only reluctantly gave me her hospital card so I could register her without the usual questions. When the doctor came in, I joined for the consultation as he insisted I do so.

👁️And that was when the truth came out.

👀She had been struggling with bacterial vaginosis for over a year — constant itching, unusual discharge, discomfort she had tried to hide. She told us she had suffered multiple miscarriages, tried every local remedy she knew, even herbs, but nothing worked. It was only after losing so much — including pregnancies — that she finally decided to come to the hospital.

🗣️That night reminded me of something very important: silence can be more dangerous than the illness itself.

🩺 Please, whenever you notice something unusual — va**nal itching, burning, discharge, bleeding, or anything affecting your reproductive health — don’t hide it. Don’t wait until it gets worse. Don’t be ashamed. We are here to help, not to judge.

Your openness could save your health, your pregnancy, and even your life. ❤️

🅾️STOP taking PREDNISOLONE for painful menstruation!
🩸

If prednisolone is your first choice of drug in painful periods, STOP it.

🛑I repeat, STOP it.

🧤Prednisolone should not for any reason be your first line treatment for painful period, because, its risk profile outweighs benefits compared to safer alternatives.

🪖First of, it is a steroid drug and if used for a long period of time can cause steroid induced diabetes. Other side effects include:
• Gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting
• Increased appetite and weight gain
• Mood changes, irritability, insomnia
• Fluid retention and bloating
• Menstrual cycle irregularities (possible with hormonal effects)
If used for a long period of time can increase your chances of getting down with the following;
• Cushingoid features (moon face, truncal obesity, striae or stretch marks)
• Osteoporosis
• Hypertension
• Hyperglycemia / steroid-induced diabetes
• Increased risk of infections (immunosuppression)
• Skin thinning, delayed wound healing, e.t.c.

🪡Now the question is, can it be used at all for painful period?

👗Yes!

💼But there are a few special contexts where prednisolone may be tried:

👠For example in secondary dysmenorrhoea due to autoimmune/inflammatory disease
🦠 In conditions like endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or autoimmune pelvic inflammation, prednisolone may be used as part of the management to reduce inflammation but not for a long period of time.

👡If your doctor had earlier prescribed prednisolone for you and you exhaust the prescribed dose, please do not procure it again to take unless in his orders.

🦺Yes, I know it gave you a great relief from pain but the risk is far greater than the benefits.

🥼Please do not continue it unless under the prescription of a doctor.

💚I love you and would love you to live healthy.

🙏Please quit using prednisolone for painful periods.

👌In my next post, I will be providing you some other alternatives for painful periods.

Stay tuned!

❓Can you get pregnant during your period?
🩸
🩸
🩸
🩸
🔹 YES, it’s possible.
Even though the chances are lower, pregnancy can still happen.

🩸 Why?
• S***m can survive up to 5 days inside the body.
• If you have a short cycle, ovulation may overlap with your period.

📊 When is it more likely?
• If your cycle is 21–24 days (shorter than average).
• If you ovulate early right after your period.

⚠
• You can’t fully rely on your period as a “safe window.”
• Contraception is still necessary if you want to prevent pregnancy.

Best tips to keep your va**na away from infections

29/07/2024

𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥! 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥.

Have you ever wondered why your mood fluctuates so much during your period or close to your period?
And you've wondered why you can't seem to be in control of it?

The truth is, you're not having any psychological illness, your hormones are taking you on a roller coaster.

But you see the cause actually? It is still not fully understood, but research suggests that hormonal changes play a significant role.
Now this is what happens in your body.

During the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, leading to changes in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which regulates mood. Insufficient amounts of serotonin may contribute to premenstrual depression, as well as fatigue, food cravings and sleep problems.

These resultant changes are what you now feel as period mood swings or premenstrual syndrome.

The likely hood of this happening is heightened in women who have undiagonsed depression, though depression alone does not cause all the symptoms.

Don't be so obsessed with wearing a bra that you wear it to sleep too. Tight bra can obstruct blood circulation and lymph drainage in the breast which can lead to breast cancer.
