Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. There seems to be slight soreness of the underlying skin. You need not to worry. It will resolve itself. Meanwhile Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouthwash) with it twice a day. It will give soothing effect. No further management is required at the moment. You can relax and get back to your normal daily routine.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Brief Answer:
usually takes few days

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for the follow up query.

It may occur due to GI upset or due to unknown cause and usually takes few days to improve. If it occurs again & again at or around the time of periods then there is a possibility that both are related to each other. Although its unlikely.

Thank You

Also, do i ovulate right after my period?
And i was on birth control for about 8 months and stopped it last february because of the side effects. Ever since, two weeks before my period: i get extremely bloated, extremely fatigue, my boobs get tender, i get sharp pains in my abdomen, i look like i gain 5 pounds, and my stomach makes all kinds of noise. IIs all of this occuring because i stopped my birth control? Or is my body just changing?

Brief Answer:
Ovulation occurs on 14th day of 28 days cycle

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for the followup query.

Ovulation occurs on 14th day of the 28 days cycle. When patient is on birth control pill then hormone levels are altered and remain in excess. Afterwards when you stop taking pills then it takes few months for body to adjust back to normal rhythm. Meanwhile some effects from wearing off may occurs in the form of bloating, fatigueness & tender breast. As soon as your body acquires normal rhythm, these symptoms will subside. So at the moment best thing is to wait. Meanwhile take balanced diet including fresh fruits & vegetables along with daily exercise of 30-45mins.

Thank You
