I’m having a much heavier period this month, with blood dripping out at a fast rate and causing me to soak through many pads. I’m also feeling extremely dizzy and weak, with constant dizziness and numbness in my legs. I’m 18 years old, not on any medications, and I recently stopped taking birth control a month ago. My periods have been irregular since I was 12, and I’m currently 53kg. What should I do?

I'm having issues with a UTI. I started feeling symptoms on Wednesday evening and began antibiotics on Thursday afternoon. The symptoms have improved but are still present. I'm concerned if the antibiotics prescribed (Nitrofurantoin 100mg, 2x a day for 7 days) are the right choice and why they are taking longer to work. I also want to know what type of bacteria was found in my urine and if there's anything I can do about an inflamed urinary tract.

I want to use birth control pills or shots, but I've heard that it causes infertility. I am 30 years old and worried about this. Should I use it or not, and which option would be better considering potential side effects like weight gain and mood swings?
