 [ Symptoms ] does early mens means early menopause too  i had my first period when i was 9 years old and since then i have regular menstrual cycle for five days usually i experience heavy flow every second day of my period now that i am 24 i do not experience heavy flow on my second day anymore and even more surprising to me is that i am just having spots on my third day i have noticed this since last year before i used bcp for my acne i wanted to know if this has something to do with how young i am when i started having my period [ Disease ] sorry to hear about this it is hard to tell what is going on here without doing a physical examination depending on the size of the wound that lump could be a normal part of the healing process or it could be an infection or hematoma collection of blood in the tissue if your brother in law develops a fever over 101f as measured by a thermometer not just by feeling a forehead or guessing he should get checked out by a medical professional as this may be a sign of an infection developing also if the wound continues to swell turns hot to the touch or oozes a green foul smelling discharge those would all be reasons to head for urgent care i am wondering if your brother in law is up to date on his tetanus shot every adult needs a booster injection every 10 years if your brother in law does not know if his tetanus immunization is current he should be alert for symptoms of tetanus that could develop within 2 weeks of this accident including headache trouble opening his mouth lockjaw trouble swallowing stiff neck back and shoulders again i am sorry to hear about this accident it is a good reminder to be careful using sharp objects and also for everyone to keep their tetanus shot current
