Could antibiotics impact fibroids and irregular periods?
Good evening, dear doctors, I am writing to you because I am anxious and worried. I am 49 years old and have had very large fibroids for years that have never given me any problems, apart from swelling and the occasional early or very late period. This summer I had a gynecological visit with ultrasound because it had been about three years since I had a check-up due to anxiety problems that prevent me from going for visits and other fears. The visit went well in the sense that it was the same as three years ago but every doctor almost always suggested that I evaluate the option of removing it to eliminate the problem. This summer my period was a bit irregular, it came a little early, then spotting, then it ended as usual. In October I only had spotting for two weeks and that was it, in November spotting and then a very heavy period that ended a few days ago, still with very light spotting. In the grip of anxiety, I went to the gynecological clinic in my city, and he did a manual examination without an ultrasound, telling me that they are fibroids and to go to another gynecologist to evaluate what to do, I went to a gynecologist the other day and he did an ultrasound and an examination, apart from the fibroids that I already knew about, he told me that the endometrium is vascularized and a little irregular and measures 8mm. He told me that I need to look into it further. A few months ago it always measured 8 mm, but he didn't tell me anything. (He didn't talk to me about hormone levels or premenopause or anything else. I want to do hormone levels to see everything in general) I took a lot of antibiotics months ago for dental problems and I don't know if it could interfere with my cycle. I'm really desperate also because I have a lot of anxiety problems and this doesn't help... I hope it's nothing to worry about.. I'll try to look into it further. Thank you so much. Jenny Italy

It is very common to feel anxious about our menstrual cycles and fibroids changing. Unnaturalities in menstrual blood flow may be due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or certain medications. An additional diagnostic step may be the determination of the blood vasculature in the endometrium. A sample hormone level testing will help your doctor to get the big picture and arrive at a diagnosis. Of course, honesty and open communication with your gynecologist is the key to a better treatment process.

Burning sensation in urine in vagina since 3 months
Female | 23
Experiencing a burning sensation in the urine and vagina for three months could be due to urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, or other medical conditions. See a doctor promptly for a proper evaluation and appropriate treatment. Avoid delaying as untreated conditions may lead to complications.

I am having a abnormal vaginal discharge
Female | 24
Vaginal discharge occurs normally. But, if it appears discolored (yellow/green), clumpy, or foul-smelling, infection may be present. Potential causes include yeast overgrowth or bacterial imbalance. Keep the area clean and dry. Consult a gynecologist for examination and treatment. They can prescribe appropriate medication to resolve symptoms.

Iam having problem of prolapsed uterus
Female | 46
Your uterus has shifted lower into the vagina; this is called a prolapsed uterus. It makes you feel like something is pushing down there. You might have trouble peeing too. The muscles holding up your uterus got weak, causing it to drop. To treat it, you can do exercises to make those muscles stronger. Or, use a pessary - that's a device that goes in your vagina to prop the uterus up. For really bad cases, surgery fixes the prolapse. But see a gynecologist to decide the right treatment for you.

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

I had unprotected sex on 7th February and had ipill later. Afterwards I got my period on 19th February. I had protected sex on 26th February and again on 11 March. I am 2 days late
Female | 22
Being slightly late for your period isn't abnormal, especially during stressful times or bodily adjustments. The unprotected sexual encounter on February 7th, followed by taking emergency contraception, could impact your cycle. That might explain your delayed period. Remember, stress, diet modifications, and illness can also affect menstruation. If you're still worried, a home pregnancy test can offer clarity.

In case your cycle is missed by 13 days; you may be pregnant. In the meantime, the only way to find out is a pregnancy test or consult a gynecologist.

My pregnant wife legs keep on swelling up while she is just 5month pregnant
Female | 22
During the 5th month, leg swelling can occur due to fluid retention and pressure on veins from the growing baby, slowing circulation and causing fluid buildup. To alleviate this, recommend elevating legs, remaining active, and wearing support stockings. Importantly, discuss it with her gynecologist.

Why is my period not stopping since it starts
Female | 24
Your period lasts too long sometimes. This might result from hormone shifts, stress, meds. Thyroid or ovary issues are possibilities too. Drink lots, rest well, eat right for help. It's smart to see a gynecologist.

I have a prolonged period (20 days)
Female | 19
There can be many reasons for this. Your hormones might be off balance. Stress can cause it too. Some medical issues can make this happen as well. Pay attention if you feel tired or have bad pain. Drink lots of water. Get enough rest. Eat good food. If this keeps happening or you feel sick, see a gynecologist.

29 year old female, who is struggling to get pregnant. I had the Same implant for 8 years, I have genital warts. I have a lump that's painful before my periods on each side of my pelvic wall. I have irregular periods, acne and intercourse is painful, I have a dry vagina.
Female | 29
Based on your symptoms, it may be a sign of hormonal imbalances and potential disruptions due to the implantation use for a long period. In parallel, the condylomas may also affect your fertility. An alternative explanation of the origins of the lumps and pains before your periods is likely endometriosis. They must be thoroughly reviewed to lift hormones, remove genital warts, and treat the underlying causes of the pain episodes and irregular menstruation.

Female | 24
Emergency pills often cause bleeding or spotting.. Take a pregnancy test after three weeks.. Emergency PILLS sometimes fail to prevent pregnancy.. Check for pregnancy symptoms regularly.. Emergency pills ARE not recommended for frequent use.... Consult a doctor for personalized advice.

Hey, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2 days ago before my period which has began today. Is there any chance that I may still get pregnant in my new cycle which began today? I usually have a 30 day cycle but can be sometimes shorter or longer = or minus 2 days
Female | 23
Most people worry when unprotected sex happens. Your period starting lowers pregnancy chances this cycle. But sperm can live for days inside, so a small risk still exists. Take emergency contraception if concerned. Use condoms or birth control to prevent pregnancy.

Mera weight 44 ha unmarried girl or mein subo time two glass water or one cup tea pi lo toh mujy four times urine with drop ata or color white hota ha but no pain bleeding burnning and diabetes only urine more with drops .So please tell me is this normal and is there any harm to it? Please answer all my questions. i am very upset
Female | 22
The whiteness of your urine can be due to several reasons, such as drinking too much water or some foods. Besides, stress can also be the reason for urination more than usual. However, the presence of pain, burning, or other symptoms is usually nothing serious. Just keep your water intake up and be mindful of your body. It's always good to have a gynecologist check any new symptoms or concerns to be safe.

Its unlikely that you are pregnant if you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours. Check with a gynecologist if your symptoms are persistent.

At the same time i caught a cold and i have been treating with natural remedies and i believ it shall pass in a fee days. Will all this affect my baby's development i am 37 days pregnant with HCG tested at 77 please assist
Female | 45
UTIs are common during pregnancy, but antibiotics like nitrofurantoin or amoxicillin-potassium clavulanate can safely treat them. These medicines protect both you and the baby. Always follow your doctor's instructions and finish all your medication. Your cold is unlikely to harm the baby, and natural remedies might help you feel better. Be sure to drink plenty of water. If concerned, ask your gynecologist.

Had copper coil fitted back in November 2023 but after that my periods was coming twice a month but this month don’t know if had any but two days ago had spots of blood but no sign of periods just wanted to know what can that be
Female | 30
It seems like you may be having an irregular period. The copper coil can sometimes do this. Spotting blood rather than having a full period could be because of hormonal changes or the coil itself, so take note of any other symptoms you might have. If this continues or you feel concerned, it would be best to seek advice from a gynecologist.

for a whole week straight, my labia has been itchy. i have also been having white sticky discharge and sometimes it could be a faint yellow. there is no odor and no pain, just itchiness. today, i felt a bump like feeling on my labia and i’m guessing it’s a cyst.
Female | 17
Itching and discharge could mean a yeast infection. A common issue, causing irksome itchiness, thick yellowish gunk, and sometimes bump too. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can provide relief. Keeping clean and dry down there also helps. Drink lots of water, and wear breathable cotton undies.

I take abortion pills but my periods held for one day only then I do pregnancy test 2 times and it's negative
Female | 19
Periods can often change after using abortion pills. Even one-day periods might be normal. Two negative pregnancy tests suggest you're likely not pregnant. Stress and hormones can impact your cycle. However, if unsure, consider consulting a gynecologist for reassurance.
