My daughter, who is 50 years old, has been experiencing migraines that sometimes cause her to pass out. These symptoms started after she had a bladder sling surgery in 2010. Despite extensive medical evaluations, including at Mayo Clinic, no clear cause has been identified. She has seen multiple specialists, including neurologists, pain specialists, and undergone various treatments such as Botox injections and hormone therapy, but none have provided relief. She has also been on multiple medications, including estradiol, blood pressure medications, and atorvastatin, but her migraines persist. What could be causing these migraines and passing out episodes, and what further steps can be taken to manage or treat this condition?

I am currently 11 weeks pregnant after a missed miscarriage in August. I've been using a fetal doppler to listen to the heartbeat, sometimes for up to 30 minutes a day, and I'm worried if this could harm the baby. What is your professional opinion on the safety of using a fetal doppler and how often it should be used?

Hi Doc! I had a breakthrough period last time and you told me to take Motrin 400mg 3x a day for 5 days. It’s my third day but the bleeding already stopped. Should I still continue to take the pill?

I had protected sex with my boyfriend using a condom, but it got stuck inside me after he came. I am 4 days away from my ovulation day according to my Flo Period Tracker. Will a Plan B still work for me if I take it today, and how effective will it be?

I am 28 years old and sexually active. I have always had regular periods, but recently, my periods have been irregular, restarting soon after the previous one. I had my last period on Oct 27, then around Thanksgiving, and then again a few days later and two weeks after that, with spotting in between. I took a pregnancy test which was negative. I am concerned about the irregularity and have vaginal itching and discharge. What could be causing this and what should I do?
