Patient's question:
During this period, I have been preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, but I don't feel much pressure, and the previous ones were all normal. This time, the amount suddenly decreased.A few days before my period, I got sick—some cold symptoms and tonsillitis. This is a common occurrence for me, and it has never affected me before.
Also, between these two periods, I took an emergency contraceptive pill, called Postinor, I think. But they said it has no effect on the body.
How can women know if their kidneys are healthy? How should they supplement them?
