@archi_d The simplest step is to get basic labs done and reviewed properly. A good set of questions is: “What could explain these symptoms?”, “Do I ne...
@archi_d A typical check up starts with a few simple questions, like when the bleeding happens, how long it has been going on, whether it is after se...
