Why do I have prolactin-related milky discharge and pain?
Hi good day. I’m Joy, I’m having milky discharge (Prolactation) when I’m not pregnant nor breastfeeding. I have been experiencing this for 1 year now and I experience pain during sex.

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 28th May '24
It seems like you are having hyperprolactinemia. Even when not pregnant or breastfeeding, this condition can make your breasts release a milky liquid. This matter might be the cause of painful intercourse. Drug side effects or imbalances in hormones are among the potential reasons. Some cases may require surgical intervention while others may only need medication to regulate the levels of hormones. It is important that a gynecologist diagnoses you correctly and treats you accordingly.

I took 2 misoprostol 6 days as I want to terminate the pregnancy! but now am feeling a back pain and I am moving a bit in my stomach! does that mean I am still pregnant?
Female | 31
Feeling worried about back pain and stomach movement is normal. These signs do not always mean being pregnant. They can be related to digestion issues or muscle strain too. If you are still concerned about being pregnant, taking a pregnancy test can give you more clear answers. If you keep feeling bad, it is best to talk to a gynecologist.

Seeing blood when you are pregnant may be scary. The causes of this could be implantation bleeding, a miscarriage, among other reasons. To make sure that your child is safe, it is important to see a gynecologist as soon as possible for a proper checkup and advice.

I recently had premature c section delivery at 27 weeks of gestation i what to when can I start trying to conceive again
Female | 25 years
After a premature delivery at 27 weeks, it's essential to give your body time to heal. Typically, medical professionals recommend waiting at least 18 to 24 months before trying to conceive again. This allows physical recovery and ensures optimal health for any future pregnancies. It's crucial to monitor for symptoms like unusual pain or irregular cycles during this time. Consulting with a gynecologist will give you personalized advice based on your health history. They can guide you through this journey and help you prepare for a healthy future pregnancy.

Not received my period for 3months
Female | 14
It's understandable to feel concerned when your cycle is delayed. Several factors can contribute to this, including stress, hormonal imbalances, significant weight changes, or medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. Symptoms associated may include breast tenderness, mood swings, or fatigue. It's important to monitor your overall health. If you've missed your period for three consecutive months, I recommend scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist. They can offer a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I have been taking contraceptives for some time now and my last time of taking was December 15 I haven't had sex till now my menses came December n last month but was supposed to come last week but it didn't come. I checked for pregnancy n it was negative
Female | 27
Hormonal contraceptives do affect your menstrual cycle. Also if your pregnancy test is negative then the period delay can be due to stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.

I hv missed my periods since 7 days.. So, I'm I pregnant or not...? I just want to know..!
Female | 25
Missing your period might indicate pregnancy, but numerous factors contribute to this occurrence. Stress, significant weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances can also disrupt menstrual cycles. To confirm your situation with certainty, taking a pregnancy test is highly recommended. If you experience any concerns or uncertainties, seeking guidance from a gynecologist is advisable.

I have done sex today so I don’t want to pregnant and I didn’t use safety so I want use I PILL tablet to not pregnant
Female | 19
The “morning-after pill” is a type of emergency contraception that can prevent pregnancy if taken within a certain time after unprotected sexual intercourse. It does this by stopping or delaying ovulation (the release of eggs), which means there’s no egg for sperm to fertilize. Some common side effects include nausea, headache, and tiredness. Remember that this should not be used as regular birth control. If you are worried, you can reach out for further advice from a gynecologist.

I did pregnancy test. How I can check I am pregnant?
Female | 30
Various signs like missed periods, queasiness, fatigue, and sore breasts might point toward pregnancy. A kit can determine this by checking for the presence of a hormone called hCG in the urine. If one tests positive it is recommended that they visit a gynecologist who will carry out further tests to confirm the results and provide appropriate medical advice such as starting antenatal care.

I have a greenish discharge on one nipple since December. It was previously diagnosed as hormonal imbalance and I was given hormonal pills. 3 months later I was given antibiotics but it is still here. I am not done with my antibiotics though
Female | 26
A green discharge can be caused due to infections, injuries, or more concerning issues like breast growth or cancer. Consult a gynecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Do not stop medications without medical advice.

I had protected intercourse and also took a morning oill after it. It's been 5 days I feel like an getting my periods but am not. My last cycle was on 1st February. I feel dizzy and tired
Female | 21
Getting tired and dizzy comes with taking the morning-after pill. It impacts your cycle timing too. February 1st marked your last period, so expecting your next one now is premature. Stay calm, give it more time. If no period arrives soon, see a gynecologist for a review.

If you've had sex without protection, you are at high risk of getting pregnant, so don’t miss taking contraceptive pills but it is better to talk to your doctor once

I am a 43 year old female. I have been getting frequent menstruation with heavy bleeding. all bloood parameters normal. No underlying medical condition.
Female | 43
This may be due to hormonal issues, fibroids, or stress. Eat nutritious foods, exercise, and de-stress yourself to help reduce the symptoms. But medication or a procedure might be required if it persists. Don't hesitate to consult a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis.

I have vaginal infection .
Female | 20
If the signs are right, you might have a vaginal infection, a common and curable issue. Itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort while urinating or having sex might also occur. Bacteria, yeast, and other germs can cause these infections. To start feeling better, it’s important to consult a gynecologist/urologist who will diagnose the problem correctly and suggest appropriate treatment.

I am 24 and had an abortion in january. It makes me very sad. Since then my period has changed. Now it lasts 8-9 days. Normally 6 days. What is wrong?
Female | 24
Your period can change after the procedure. Having your period last 6 to 8-9 days is common. This may happen due to shifts in hormones after abortion. If you have heavy bleeding or worries, talk to a gynecologist. Take care of yourself during this time.

The symptoms you have mentioned are caused by hyperthyroidism. These imbalances can affect your period too and result in what you explained. You need to talk to a doctor about these signs so that they can suggest treatment plans and also ensure that your levels of thyroid are being properly taken care of.

So, I have been to a urogynecologist and she thinks I have an overactive bladder. I have had this sensation like I'm leaking. I feel like I leak while I'm standing, sitting, or bending really much at any time. Well, today I had to go to the bathroom and when I pulled down my pants white stuff went on the floor. But, When I urinated in the toilet it was yellow. I am wondering if the leaking feeling I have is just a discharge. I did go to the er for back pain and they said I have sciatica.
Female | 23
What you saw on the floor as a white substance may be discharge, but it is vital to eliminate other possible sources. I would recommend that you visit your urogynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment plan.

Your periods are coming for two months, yet you worry about pregnancy - which can occur due to hormonal imbalances. Visit a gynecologist to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment. Irregular periods, weight fluctuations, mood swings, acne - these common signs indicate hormonal issues.
