Answered by Dr. Mohit Saraogi

It's understandable to feel concerned about a missed period, especially after recent sexual activity. While protected intercourse significantly reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, no method is 100% effective. Other reasons for delayed menstruation can include stress, hormonal changes, or health issues. To address your concerns, consider taking a home pregnancy test for clarification. If the test is positive or if your period continues to be absent, I recommend reaching out to a gynecologist for further evaluation and guidance. They can help determine the cause and advise on the best next steps.

I have fibroid issues or cyst

Female | 31

As a cyst or fibroid goes, so it means that some growths in the body shouldn't be there. They can cause some symptoms like pain in the belly, excessive bleeding, and needing to pee a lot. Fibroids and cysts can happen because of hormonal fluctuations. At times, we may not know the precise cause. Treatment can be medication, surgery, or sometimes watching to make sure they don't cause any problems.

I had been diagnosed with cystitis a month or 2 back, i took my medication and it went away but now it comes and goes, is it possible that it didnt clear away the first time ?

Male | 24

Your cystitis returned because the infection persisted. Some bacteria survived the first treatment. Cystitis causes frequent urination urges. You feel a painful burning sensation when peeing. To treat it thoroughly, you need antibiotics prescribed by a urologist. The urinary tract infection wasn't fully eliminated earlier. So revisit your doctor promptly for proper medication to clear the remaining bacteria. Persistent symptoms like urgency, burning, and frequent bathroom trips indicate active cystitis.

Iam 21 years old..from two to three days i sufer from vomiting sensation and discomfort...i missed my period last three days before

Female | 21

If you are ill and have skipped your period then it could be gastritis. Your stomach becomes inflamed which can make you feel sick as well as giving discomfort. You should eat small boring meals while drinking ginger tea slowly if you want relief. Keep yourself hydrated too. In case the signs persist, seeking further advice from a gynecologist is recommended.

Female | 22

It's understandable to be concerned about a missed period. Various factors can influence menstrual cycles, such as stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle shifts. Sometimes, irregularities can occur without any significant reason. Since you're not experiencing typical cramps, it might be a sign of hormonal changes. I recommend doing a home pregnancy test if there's any possibility of pregnancy. Regardless, if your period doesn't arrive soon or if you have other concerns, it’s a good idea to consult with a gynecologist. They can provide guidance tailored to your situation and help ensure your well-being.

Vaginal redness,pain and itching...

Female | 19

Your condition seems familiar described as candidiasis, which will bring such symptoms as vaginal reddening, pain, and itching. This problem is due to a vaginal infection, allergic reactions triggered by irritants such as gloves, or lack of proper hygiene. The first measures to be followed, are not to use irritants, to ensure you are comfortable, and another is to keep the area clean and dry. Visit a gynecologist if the problem persists.

I took ipill on 6th april amd 8 days after that i got withdrawl bleeding but after that I didn’t get my normal periods till now The withdrawl bleeding was not heavy and was max for 2 days Last week on Sunday i did UPT but it was negative

Female | 21

Following the usage of some pills like I-pill, the period variation is ordinary. There are some times when it will take longer for the periods to be regular again. The reproductive system can be affected by being in a state of tension that is caused by either mental or emotional stress. We can not rule out other causes of the delay in menstruation therefore if you are concerned about anything it is advisable to see a gynecologist.

Hi! Me and my girlfriend were having sex while wearing only our underwears. There's a chance (I don't actually remember it much) that I may have taken out for a small period my underwear. We weren't using any contraceptives, and she was on her fertile period. She has taken the morning after pill 17 hours later. Is there something to worry about?

Male | 22

Taking the morning after pill within 17 hours of intercourse can be effective in preventing pregnancy.. but its effectiveness tends to decrease the longer you wait. Consult a gynecologist to confirm

i am 21 years old female. i have been getting my periods since December, its February right now, its on and off, for 2 weeks in January i got heavy periods and since then i have been getting spotting on the pads. i met with a gyn and she gave me a medicine called norethindrone acetate, and gave me dosage accordingly, and diagnosed me with PCOD. i haven't been taking the medicine cause I'm not sure if i should. i am also afraid if it has anything to do with pregnancy, i have taken UPTs thrice and they were all negative and my last intercourse was in November. however i have extreme lower back pain and i experience tiredness. i just want answers to whether it is pregnancy given the lower back pain and the spotting for so long? if its not that then can i take the medicine prescribed and it wont be an issue and i wont have any extreme side effects.

Female | 21

Based on your symptoms, it is improbable that you are pregnant because you have taken three negative UPTs and your last intercourse was in November. Your period time may be different because of PCOD. That's why your gynecologist diagnosed you with PCOD. As long as you take the drug recommended by your gynecologist, norethindrone acetate, according to the dose and monitoring for adverse effects, it is ok. But, if the backaches and tiredness continue, then consult your gynecologist again

Female | 30

Missing periods can be due to other reasons than pregnancy,like stress, changes in weight or exercise routine, PCOS, thyroid disorders, etc. You can consult a gynecologist who can examine you and run some tests to determine the cause of your missed periods. They may recommend further hormonal assays, ultrasound, or a biopsy test of the uterus lining.

This could indicate negative results. There exist numerous causes of abdominal pain and strange noises such as gas, heartburn or just being under tension. This condition is usually normal and not severe at all. It is advisable to eat small portions of food, stay calm, and take water. If the situation persists, visit a qualified gynecologist for further assistance.

It's wonderful that you have decided to reach out. You are pregnant and are experiencing many common symptoms of pregnancy like a missed period, nausea, fatigue, and breast soreness. These symptoms are probably the result of different causes. Therefore it's important to find out if they are pregnancy-related. I suggest starting a home pregnancy test to get a general idea.

It is important to bear in mind that a negative pregnancy test could also be due to such other factors as hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. I encourage you to visit a gynecologist for a thorough check-up and that may pinpoint the exact reason behind the missed period.

You might be dealing with a urinary tract infection. With this problem, you may find yourself having some bloody spots along with a constant need to urinate. A urinary tract infection occurs when the bacteria enters the urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water and seeing a urologist for medicines will help you recover from this.

You are going through a case of urinary incontinence. This is an involuntary leakage of your urine. It may have a variety of causes, for example, weak pelvic muscles or urinary tract infections. Although it is not usually serious, it is good to get checked by a urologist to get an accurate diagnosis and to talk about treatment options.

Female | 20

Women may experience light spotting after sex, especially if their period is approaching. This is normal and not always a sign of pregnancy. Irregular periods can also be caused by mental health issues linked to hypothyroidism. While ginger and papaya are commonly used herbs, they are not reliable for preventing pregnancy. If you're worried about pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency pill like the i-pill.

It's understandable to want to manage your menstrual cycle for special occasions. Spotting after taking Primolut N can occur as your body adjusts to the medication. To minimize bleeding, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activities. However, individual responses vary, and it's crucial to listen to your body. If the bleeding continues or becomes heavy, consulting a gynecologist is advisable for tailored guidance. They can provide the most appropriate options based on your health needs.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss some concerning changes in my menstrual health that have been occurring over the past few months. Firstly, I have noticed that my periods have been absent for the last three months, which is unusual for me. Additionally, I have experienced variations in the color of my vaginal discharge, ranging from white to dark brown, sometimes accompanied by a foul odor. Initially, I believed these changes to be indicative of an impending period, but now I am uncertain
