Women experience vaginal bleeding each month during their menstrual cycle from adolescence to menopause. Typically, all women have a menstrual period once a month, occurring approximately every 21 to 35 days and lasting anywhere from 1 to 7 days. Vaginal bleeding that occurs between these regular periods is referred to as 'bleeding between periods.' Metrorrhagia is the medical term for this type of bleeding and is sometimes described as vaginal spotting between periods. Bleeding between periods can resemble a regular menstrual period, be heavier with increased blood loss, or be extremely light (often referred to as 'spotting'). Such bleeding may occur occasionally or persist for several days. This bleeding is not a normal period and it is advisable to consult a doctor. Causes of vaginal bleeding between periods There are several causes of vaginal bleeding between periods, some of which are harmless and in others, it can be a more serious sign.

How to Reduce Uric Acid: Lower Levels Naturally

Image
Uric acid is a natural waste product of the body's digestive system that contains purines. Purines are certain compounds found in higher levels in some foods. They are broken down in the body, and the kidneys filter out the uric acid. If a person consumes food with a high purine content or if the body is unable to eliminate toxins as quickly as necessary, uric acid may begin to accumulate in the body. The normal amount of uric acid present in the body is under 6.8 mg/dL. An elevated level of uric acid, higher than the standard range (known as hyperuricemia), can lead to a condition known as gout. When gout develops in the body, it can result in increased acid content in the urine and blood, as well as the formation of crystals in the feet, toes, and joints. However, the risk of gout is not solely dependent on diet or lifestyle. There are several risk factors that can contribute to hyperuricemia, including: Obesity Male gender Certain underlying health conditions However, there are

Travel by air, sea, road, or rail including international travel is possible in pregnancy. However, if a woman is planning to travel, she should seek medical advice. Pregnant women may not be able to travel if they experience any pregnancy-related complications and at the end of pregnancy. It is recommended that a medical examination be conducted prior to travel to ensure that there is no cause for concern and that the healthcare professional authorizes the woman to travel. Is Travelling Safe in Pregnancy? Traveling while pregnant is completely safe unless the healthcare professional advises otherwise. Try to avoid long flights since sitting for extended periods of time might be uncomfortable. For domestic travel, women are generally not permitted to fly after 36 weeks of pregnancy, and for international travel, the age of consent is between 28 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. The choice of whether or not to travel and the distance to travel, at any point in pregnancy, should be mutually a
