Is Endometrial Biopsy Necessary for Heavy Bleeding at 47?
Hello Ma'am, i would appreciate if you could give me you few minutes... My mom is in her pre-menopausal age she's 47 years old back in 2022 she had started bleeding heavily for list almost a month continuously we had done test so at that time here uterus lining was 10/11mm which is supposed to be normal She was taking pause-MF tablets and aftr that she had normal regular periods for 2 years Now since april 2024, she's having very heavy flow of blood she had her periods from 10-19 april then from 2-20 may then after this she again started her period from 28th may till 05 june. she's had very heavy flow during these 3 recent cycles We've done an ultrasound so in the ultrasound we got to know that the Endometrial has thickened to 22mm she's been suggested biopsy, so is it necessary to get the biospy done or can it be left like that keeping her age in mind? Your valuable suggestion will be very meaningful. Thank you.

These kinds of changes could be caused by hormonal imbalances or conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia. 22mm is concerning and needs further evaluation through biopsy to rule out anything serious like cancer. Because of her age as well as her overall health status, these tests must be done.

Sir, I was planning a baby bt 2 days before baby planning i drank alcohole only for two days, is there a problem??
Male | 31
A two-day alcohol intake shouldn’t make any big difference in conception. But, one should take care and refrain from it while planning to conceive In case you have any pregnancy related queries or planning to have a baby feel free to consult a doctor who specializes in women’s health.

is there a possibility to get pregnant when you use condom but the penis goes soft with the semen still inside the condom and slipped and got off in the penis while pulling out and he's sure that the semen didn't touch me
Female | 18
If semen remains inside the condom without touching you, the risk of pregnancy is minimal. Occasionally, a penis softens before withdrawal. Ensure proper fit and usage to prevent future concerns. Unless you notice unusual symptoms, stressing is unnecessary.

I'm sher from Pakistan. We have been 4 years being married but my wife couldn't conceive, according to doctors, the eggs problem.. !
Female | 28
I recommend you to see a gynecologist or a reproductive endocrinologist for consultation. They will be able to find out the reason for your wife being infertile and will offer different possible solutions. If it comes to egg concerns, then the fertility doctor can recommend some assisted reproductive techniques such as egg donation or IVF.

Am having a vagina itchy and it also swollen, with a slight pain too
Female | 32
An imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina can lead to infections. These include yeast infections or bacterial ones. Common symptoms are itching, swelling, and discomfort. Over-the-counter creams may provide relief. However, seeing a doctor for prescription medication is recommended. To prevent future issues, wear cotton underwear and avoid scented products. These simple steps restore balance and promote vaginal health.

I am 21 years old and I've been vomiting and I also have a bloated stomach, I don't know what's wrong with me but I suspect pregnancy because I had sex with my boyfriend about three weeks ago but I was on my period and he did not release inside me so I'm confused
Female | 21
These symptoms may also come from diseases like a stomach bug or food poisoning. If you're stressed out about pregnancy, you could take a test to make sure. Remember, it's always good to talk to a gynecologist, if you're not feeling well.

My periods are 3 days late
Female | 21
Sometimes, stress or changed routines affect your cycle. Your hormones and PCOS could also be reasons. If sexually active, pregnancy is possible. Stay calm, eat right, and if it persists, seek advice from a gynecologist. Late periods happen, but prolonged delays need attention.

I have irregular periods sometimes even in 2 months. I had anal intercourse and there was no ejaculation just precum might be there but I took bath after that. I took regestrone 5mg for 3 days one tab per day and got light bleed after 3-4 days. Am i pregnant?
Female | 20
Irregular menstrual cycles have various potential causes, like stress levels or hormonal fluctuations. Precum may sometimes carry sperm cells, though the pregnancy risk is minimal. Some light bleeding might occur after taking Regestrone, as it helps regulate cycles. If concerned about a potential pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test.

Female | 25
Sometimes, a pregnant woman may feel a little fever and have body pain. It is the case of changes in the body during the pregnancy. To alleviate her discomfort, she should take time off, increase her fluid intake, and take acetaminophen if necessary. If the pain or fever worsens or she has other symptoms, it's best to seek advice from her gynecologist.

I want to ask about my wifes late period problem this month
Female | 24
Periods can be delayed at times. Stress, changes in weight, or hormonal imbalances can be the reasons for it. Unanticipated pregnancy, thyroid conditions, or polycystic ovary syndrome are also likely causes of it. It is advisable to get along with a gynecologist to determine the specific cause if your wife undergoes other symptoms such as pain, nausea, or unusual bleeding.

There are multiple potential causes for missing periods: stress, big weight changes, hormonal issues, or medical conditions. Pregnancy is another possibility. See a gynecologist to pinpoint the reason and get appropriate advice for resolving it.

Female | 22
Period skipping doesn't always guarantee you are pregnant. We must also consider other factors, such as stress, weight change, or medical conditions that could be the factor. It is advisable to see a gynecologist or an obstetrician if you suspect you are pregnant.

My boyfriend and I had sex and he had a little bit of blood on his shaft, it was closer to his stomach so I don't think any went inside me, i haven't had any issues so far and don't have insurance, I just want to know if there's any cause for concern, we are only active with one another for the last 3 years. Thank you
Female | 24
Sometimes, blood during sex can occur due to small cuts or irritation. If no blood enters your body and you feel fine, that's a good sign. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, it's important to see a gynecologist. Minor tears or friction can cause bleeding, but if you’re okay now, there’s likely no need to worry. Still, it’s best to get checked out if anything seems off later.

Can someone have trichomoniasis for years without symptoms
Female | 30
Trichomoniasis is an infection that can exist without notice. A tiny parasite causes it. It spreads through sexual contact. You might experience itching, burning, and unusual discharge in the private parts. But it's simple to treat with antibiotics if diagnosed. Always practice safe sex to avoid infections like this one.

Female | 21
If you have taken an emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill), it can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle. Delayed or irregular periods are common side effects of emergency contraception.
Consult with a gynecologist who can evaluate your situation and provide appropriate guidance. They will be able to assess your symptoms, discuss potential causes for the delayed periods, and advise you on the best course of action.

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .
Female | 23
Even if complete insertion didn't occur, pregnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still reach the egg. Immediate symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or breast tenderness could be early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provides confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't preclude pregnancy.

According to her signs, it can be possible that your wife has gotten urinary tract infection and gastroenteritis. On the one hand, it is worth mentioning that it is still possible to conceive. I suggest you take your wife to a gynecologist to make 100% sure if there are any complications and also get necessary treatment.
