Are Medications the Only Solution for PCOS/Amenorrhea Treatment?
Hello I was recently diagnosed with PCOS/amenorrhea from my ultrasound. I am also overweight. They have prescribed be 5 days of provera and 3 months worth of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets (birth control) to help me menstruate again. My family does not want me to take medication or birth control again because of the side affects it has and the hormonal changes it has to my body Are those two medications the only way solution for me?

PCOS impacts periods, weight, and fertility. You skip periods in amenorrhea. Medications regulate your cycle. Nutritious food and workouts help symptoms. Discuss concerns with your gynecologist and derive a treatment plan.

Missed menstruation , i have irregular periods, my last period was on February 25 , after that I didn't get period, i did pregnancy test for about 3 times and got negative but now i did again and it shows positive. What to do. I have 1 year old Baby and I don't want kids
Female | 28
Since you've received a positive pregnancy test result, it's important to consult a professional like an OB/GYN. Given your desire not to have more children at this time, they can provide information about your options, which might include continuing the pregnancy or considering alternatives like medical abortion or contraception.

I am 23 years old i have vaginal burning sensations
Female | 23
You are feeling some burning in your vagina. A yeast infection, irritation from soaps or detergents, or even a sexually transmitted infection could cause this. The best thing to do is avoid using any scented products and wear cotton underwear. Drinking lots of water might also help. If it does not go away, see a gynecologist.

It's been 18 days since my period stopped. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I don't want to have a baby so soon. What should I do now?
Female | 26
It’s completely understandable to feel uncertain in this situation. A missed menstrual cycle and a positive test can bring a mix of emotions. Early signs of pregnancy may include nausea, fatigue, or breast tenderness, but everybody responds differently. If you’re considering your options, the best step is to consult a gynecologist. They can offer personalized advice and discuss possible choices, including options for early pregnancy care or termination if that’s what you decide.

DELAYED PERIODS and BACK PAIN may indicate PREGNANCY.. Take a PREGNANCY TEST to confirm.. ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES or STRESS may also cause DELAYED PERIODS.. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist..

Endometrium test Dark brown tissue measure ment 0.8m
Female | 30
This could suggest that old blood is present in the uterus, which may result in a woman experiencing irregular periods or pelvic pain. Irregular periods are a common outcome of the disease and it is always due to hormonal disorders. Hormonal therapy (hormone therapy) that your gynecologist can give you to treat PM is how you can get your periods under control and ease your discomfort.

Female | 21
Looks like you have irregular periods, white discharge, and occasional abdominal pain. Hormonal imbalances, stress, or infections can be some of the causes of these symptoms. It is always essential to lead a healthy lifestyle, have a good diet, and control stress levels. If these symptoms continue further, you should see a gynecologist to be properly diagnosed and treated.

I did an abortion now its like one week but I have too much filings
Female | 32
It's common TO have mixed feelings AFTER an abortion.. You're not alone.. Physical recovery can take a few weeks.. TAKE it easy, avoid sex, and limit exercise.. Expect bleeding AND cramping.. IF it's severe, see a doctor.. Emotionally, it's okay TO feel sadness or relief.. TALK TO a psychiatrist.

These signs may come from a hormonal imbalance, problems with your thyroid gland, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormones control periods as well as can affect weight and hair. To find the cause and suggest treatments such as hormone therapy or some lifestyle changes. Ask for tests that should be conducted by a gynecologist.

Pregnancy all sentoms but periods is regular
Female | 19
You might be pregnant, but it's also possible that the menstrual cycle continues to be typical. Pregnancy generally comes with common signs such as tiredness, nausea, and breast tenderness. Women can sometimes have periods during early pregnancy. A pregnancy test is crucial for confirmation. Consult a gynecologist for more guidance if you suspect you might be expecting a child.

Maine 4 April ko sex Kiya tha r av Tak white discharge hora hai periods ka date bhi chala gaya periods ni aaya m I pregnant
Female | 29
Missing your period and seeing white mucus after sex could mean that the lady is pregnant. Some women feel sick or have sore boobs when they get pregnant. A baby starts when a man’s seed joins with a woman’s egg. Take a test in case you suspect that you are pregnant

I have sex on the last day of my period dat is on sixth of this month isn’t possible that am pregnant
Female | 29
On the last day of your period, sex does not guarantee the absence of pregnancy. Sperms are viable to survive for 5 days in the female reproductive tract. Therefore, you better use contraception if you do not wish to conceive. Please refer to a gynecologist, to discuss with him/her, the best birth control option for you.

Female | 21
It sounds like you’re experiencing some concerning symptoms, including delayed menstruation and breast discharge. These could be attributed to hormonal fluctuations, stress, or other underlying issues. While pregnancy tests can sometimes give false negatives, other factors may affect your cycle and breast changes. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss potential treatment options tailored to your situation.

Female | 22
Ovulation can cause small cramps or changes in vaginal discharge. To confirm ovulation, women can track their basal body temperature or use an ovulation test kit. These simple methods help predict the most fertile days.

I got my period on 24th Feb. After that I didn't get it in the month of March and April as well. Even I never had sex. Please recommend any tablet.
Female | 21
Things like feeling stressed, gaining or losing weight, changing what you eat, or exercising differently can make your cycle irregular. Since you haven't had sex, you don't need to worry about being pregnant. My advice is to wait a little longer and see if your period starts on its own. But if it doesn't come soon, talking to a gynecologist might help figure out what's going on.

Your period is 6 days late. You feel discomfort around your belly and back area. These signs may mean a stomach issue, muscle strain, or even pregnancy. A simple pregnancy test from the pharmacy can help clarify things. If the test shows positive or symptoms continue, see a gynecologist right away. They can provide appropriate medical advice for your situation.

I'm missing my period for two days should I take pregency test
Female | 30
Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

I am diagnosed with PCOD. Dr suggested me to take meprate for 5 days and wait for the next 7 days for withdrawal bleeding. Still if it doesn't happen, then take diane 35. It's my 10 day today, should I take diane 35 now? Or should I see another doctor? Please help me
Female | 17
Listening to your doctor is crucial for PCOD management. Meprate induces withdrawal bleeding, helping regulate your periods. After 7 days, if bleeding doesn't start, Diane 35 might be prescribed. On day 10, begin Diane was 35 as per the doctor's advice.
