We ask Allah to cure you and grant you well-being. We advise you to consult doctors, for every illness has a cure. The mentioned diseases do not legally prevent your marriage, provided that the suitor is informed of them if they are off-putting or considered a defect. Istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) does not last only a week; rather, it extends beyond fifteen days. What you are likely experiencing is your regular menstruation. Men's desire for marriage varies according to their intentions; many marry women afflicted with illnesses. So, if a suitor comes to you, seek Allah's guidance through Istikhara and do not refuse marriage.
