I don't know what's up with mom. She is 42. She has like higher body temperature ( I mean she feels it inside her but we cannot. It's not fever. Not that kinda fever that can be tracked with thermometer. She feels it within her.). She is feeling restless sometimes and breathing problems at other times...
We had consulted a doctor of General Medicine and he prescribed some blood reports. Her platelet and lymphocyte number is scanty as it seems and the doctor had prescribed some pills. She was having some really uncomfortable side-effects like heartburn, excruciating pain in stomach sometimes. So she had completely discontinued them.
Tomorrow we will take her to a gynecologist and then a hematologist. We are suspecting polycystic ovary or tumor in the ovary because exactly 22 years back, she had similar kind of symptoms(actually more serious) and she had to rushed to the O.T. and the nurse came out with a cyst that was twice the size of table tennis ball.
Fingers crossed. Hope things will be sorted out. I don't want to see mom suffering again. She remains sick most of the time.

Hope she will get back her health soon. It could be menopause and hot flushes are a sign.

@RubyHawk The doctor will decide 1 month later after redoing the test whether the hysterectomy should be done or not.

Yeah the test reports came. She has a small tumor in the uterus. The doctor prescribed some medicines and said that the same test(TVS which is an advanced version of USG) should be done again after 1 month.

I will say a prayer for your mother. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, and if that is what your mother has, there are medications to help that should ease her symptoms. But I'm sure they'll find the culprit, and treat her accordingly. The ovarian cysts cause such tremendous pain, and I feel badly for her and you.

Yes we are doubting she has that. Actually she is having irregular periods since 4-5 months now. Sometimes three times a month. Feel sorry for you too. Those who have to deal with it, it's real pain.
Anyways, will update. Thanks for the prayer!
