I am 54, still menstruating heavily, and have a walnut-size ovarian cyst, a 5mm Tarlov cyst, unspecified connective tissue disease, ANA+, borderline lupus, degenerative disc disease, and serious osteoarthritis. I am scheduled for a radical hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. How will my connective tissue disease affect the hysterectomy, and am I at risk for weight gain post-hysterectomy?

I've been getting positive pregnancy tests at home, but my blood test at the doctor's was negative. I'm only 2 days late. I'm experiencing nausea, sore breasts, and a missed period. I haven't had a pap test before, and I had a miscarriage 3 months ago. How old are you, and do you have the serum beta HCG test report? How are your menstrual cycles usually?

She is 34 years old and is experiencing lower abdomen cramps for the first time. How can her prolonged periods be managed?
