Why is my vaginal discharge white and itchy?
Hello, I am a 26 year old female. Last month, I noticed a strange vaginal discharge. It was not slimy and transparent as it usually is but it was like a white thick ball that breaks when I try to grab it. It still persisted to this present month, but I have been having some itching too. At times, when i put on my underwear. It seems to have become worse because I had a serious itch around my clitoris area, and I kept scratching till I felt like I had injured myself. What do I do?

You may have a yeast infection, a common condition in women. Thick white discharge, itching, and irritation are typical symptoms. Yeast infections are often due to an overgrowth of the fungus Candida. You can try an over-the-counter antifungal cream or suppository, wear cotton underwear, and avoid irritating soaps. If symptoms persist, be sure to consult a gynecologist.

Sooo basically, I had unprotected sex 6 days before my period, I was not ovulating, I took a plan b immediately after once I got home that same day, I also drunk some mugwort tea which someone told me it works and some vitamin c, what is the percentage of me getting pregnant, I’m also 185 pounds and some people say that a plan b works less
Female | 17
The consumption of Plan B right away is one of the most effective ways of preventing the development of pregnancy, particularly in case ovulation has not occurred yet. Obesity might be the determinant in the reduction of the efficiency of these types of contraceptives but the number of potential factors is unfathomable. The outcomes of the onset of pregnancy can include such symptoms as missed periods, nausea, and tiredness of the whole body. If you have doubts, or your period has not been at its usual timing, a pregnancy test might be an option for you. Besides, it is always best to get advice and assurance from a gynecologist.

The reason for irregular periods could be hormonal imbalance. Some common symptoms of the hormonal imbalance are irregular periods, heavy or light bleeding, and mood swings. Stress, diet, and health conditions can cause these problems. The best way to deal with it is to consult a gynecologist for advice on managing hormonal balance.

Female | 23
Stomach pain and back pain are common symptoms after taking Ipill. If bleeding dosen't stop after 7 days and the pain is severe then consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. The doctor may perform a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or blood tests to determine the cause of the prolonged bleeding and pain.

I am 3 month pregnent.today suddenly i feel pelvic pain whole day this pain comes only few seconds but it hurt. Please tell me is my baby is safe??
Female | 21
Pelvic pain in pregnancy is quite normal. The ligaments may stretch in your belly to make room for the space to be filled by the growing baby which causes it to happen. These sudden pains usually do not cause any problems. Nevertheless, if the pain is strong or is accompanied by bleeding, it is better to contact your gynecologist.

Female | 17
During the teenage years, it is normal for periods to be irregular. Stress, diet and changes in routine can affect the timing. If you have had protected intimacy or other symptoms like acne, weight changes or excessive hair growth, it might be good to consider talking to a gynecologist.

Why do I have period pain 11 days before my next cycle
Female | 29
It is quite natural to suffer from period pain before your cycle but 11 days before it is rather too early. Probably, it is due to what is known as ovulation pain. The ovary through ovulation gives a possibility of such inconvenience in your lower abdomen. It is often not a big deal, however, if the pain is unbearable, you can include the use of a heating pad and over-the-counter pain killers. If this continues being the case, consulting your gynecologist would be wise just to make sure everything is fine.

Was given cyclogest 10 weeks pregnant light bleed
Female | 27
If you find, while on Cyclogest, that there is mild bleeding and you are ten weeks into the pregnancy then you must be observant. There are times when a little bleeding might occur during the early stages of pregnancy and this could be attributed to several causes such as implantation, hormonal changes, or infections. To get further advice and assessment done, it would be best if you get in touch with your doctor immediately. Meanwhile, rest, drink water, and look after yourself.

Hi i am 20 years old female, I am having spot bleeding during my periods it started on 6 th september still it haven’t stopped
Female | 20
Spotting during periods is a usual occurrence. It can arise due to fluctuating hormones or a lack of them. You may observe light, uneven bleeding. In some instances, the problem arises because of stress or some medications. Try not to let the stress get to you and stay relaxed as much as possible. If it lasts for a long time or gets more intense, I think you should go to a gynecologist who can help you deal with it.

Is it possible to get pregnant after taking unwanted 72 within 10 mins of sex? I had my periods on 17th Jan and sex on 24th Jan I took the pill within 10min to be on safe side. On 1st of fed I had my withdrawal bleeding for 5days . But its 1st March now I did not have my normal periods yet? I even took prega news test on 20th Jan it was negative please help me.
Female | 20
It's unlikely you got pregnant after taking Unwanted 72 quickly. Your period is delayed because the emergency pill can affect your cycle. Also, stress and hormone changes can delay periods. You should wait a bit longer for your period to come back normally. If you're still worried, see a gynecologist.

Meri 1month mein 2 bar periods ho gaya h kya mein pregnant bhi ho sakti hu??
Female | 19
Sometimes having two periods in one month could be because of a change in hormones or maybe stress. It does not necessarily mean you are pregnant even though if you are sexually active there is a possibility thus pregnancy may not always cause it. Signs of being pregnant also include feeling sick in the mornings, tender breasts, and being tired most of the time. The best way to be sure is by taking a test or going to see a gynecologist.

If you're experiencing symptoms such as irregular periods, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge, seeking a gynecologist's advice is a wise choice. These issues can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, infections, or underlying conditions. A gynecologist can conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the cause and recommend appropriate treatments, which might include medication or lifestyle changes. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms; professional guidance is key to ensuring your well-being.

I'm 20.yrs old I did medical abortion at home but I didn't Bleed I do had light spotting and brownish discharge and also it was smelly wht should I do im also feeling cramps sometimes minor sometime heavy in between that I'm fine
Female | 20
Light spotting and brown discharge can be normal, but a strong odor may indicate an infection, which requires attention. Cramps can occur as your body adjusts. It's important to monitor how you feel; if the odor persists, you experience heavy bleeding, or severe pain arises, please consult a gynecologist promptly. They can provide personalized care and ensure your well-being.

Spotting may occur because of changes in hormone levels, stress, or even simple things like strenuous physical activities. In some cases, this could be normal but if it persists or comes with pain it would be good to see a gynecologist so that you can be sure that everything is okay.

Every month 11th I get my menstrual period, this month 10th had unprotected sex, but I didn't get menstrual period on 11th , I took emergency Contraceptive pill on 12th afternoon, today is 16th but I didn't get menstrual period, is there any chances of pregnancy ? I don't want to get pregnant.
Female | 20
Commonly, a contraceptive called plan B can lead to some irregularity with your monthly cycle. A delayed period can be your pill or stress because you are scared of getting pregnant. You might face side effects such as bloating and breast tenderness. To be sure if you are pregnant, perform a pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.

I am pregnant in 9 weeks. At my last scan, they said I have a possible hematoma with dimmensions 8/5 mm. They said it is small and nothing to worry about. Also I had no bleeding or brown discharge. So what should I do?
Female | 20
If your doctor has told you that the hematoma is small and not a cause for concern, then it is likely that they have assessed the situation carefully and do not see any immediate risks to your pregnancy.

No, you cannot get pregnant through clothing during foreplay. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to directly enter the vagina. However, if you have concerns about pregnancy or sexual health, it’s best to visit a gynecologist for proper advice and guidance.
