A cyst is probably causing that lump and numbness. It's a fluid-filled sac that grows in the body. The swelling likely caused pain initially. But now numbness suggests the liquid released pressure. Blocked glands or hair follicles can form these cysts. If it doesn't bother you, leave it be. However, if it grows bigger or causes more discomfort, see a gynecologist promptly.

Aoa. I had faced problem of light bleeding from last three months. Can you tell me any medicine aur herbal way to increase blood flow. I faced this problem after marriage.
Female | 36
It’s understandable to feel concerned about light bleeding over the past few months. Various factors can lead to this issue, including hormonal imbalances or changes post-marriage. While some natural methods may promote blood flow, it's crucial to focus on underlying causes first. I recommend maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and considering gentle herbal teas like ginger or cinnamon. However, since this symptom has persisted, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Abdominal cramps, mood swings and constipation and crossed my oeriods date but no blood has come
Female | 21
This could be because of an imbalance in hormones in your body which you might experience as these symptoms. It can be caused by stress, changes in weight, or even some medical conditions. Apart from this, you should try to calm down, consume healthy foods and liquids, and sleep well as well. Nevertheless, if these will never go away, it is always appropriate to visit a gynecologist for the next step.

I'm pregnant, I have pocs as well as a retroverted uterus with a prolapse. Is my pregnancy safe?
Female | 30
Dear Angharad, I enjoy your good news of having a baby. Do not worry about your pregnancy; chances are that you will be a happy and healthy mom. The connection between PCOS and a tilted uterus can be an obstacle, but women in such a situation have had successful pregnancies. Your gynecologist should be kept informed of any abnormal abominable feelings, any unfamiliar discharge, and an exaggerated menstrual cycle: your baby and your health. Yoga, Pilates, and swimming are the most gentle and effective activities whether or not you were expecting to be in this condition or not, they work for all people.

I was 22 years and virgin I got bloody discharge/spotting every month for years after period for 7 days and went to the hospital many times the said it is infection but up to now it won’t stop
Female | 22
Infections can cause abnormal vaginal discharge or spotting, it's essential to ensure that other underlying causes are considered and addressed. There may be hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine abnormalities, cervical issues, or other gynecological conditions.

I have taken mifepristone pill today and no bleeding till now but I have not taken misopristone yet day after tomorrow I will take
Female | 19
Bleeding after mifepristone isn't immediate; it may take a while. Misoprostol usually kickstarts bleeding. Contact your gynecologist if no bleeding occurs within 24 hours post-misoprostol. Cramps, bleeding, clots – these symptoms are normal. Follow instructions closely from your doctor.

Hi, am a female 21 years old and had protected intercourse on the 2nd of february am not sure if I was suppose to ovulate the 3rd or the 5th but I went to the doctor the 3rd and I was told I had a dominant follicle on right ovary which I read that mean I was preparing for ovulation in the next 24-48hrs. Now my period base on flo should have came the 18 and other apps predicted the 19 and today is the 20 and no period has shown just keep getting creamy discharge...please help
Female | 21
A dominant follicle suggests ovulation is likely, and the creamy discharge could indicate hormonal changes rather than menstruation. Delayed periods can arise from various factors, including stress, changes in routine, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period doesn’t arrive soon or if you experience unusual symptoms, consider taking a pregnancy test for peace of mind. It's always best to consult with your gynecologist for personalized advice and to address any ongoing concerns.

Headaches, nausea, and heavy brown discharge can feel overwhelming. Negative pregnancy tests add more confusion. Yet, these symptoms might arise from hormonal changes, tension, or other health problems. If issues persist, consider speaking to a gynecologist for guidance and reassurance.

I had taken I-pill (Emergency Contraception) after having Protected Sex. Will I be getting any withdrawal Bleeding? Within how many days will I get my Periods post Withdrawal bleeding? My last period was 16-20 Feb I had the pill on 26th Feb My cycle is usually 28-29 days
Female | 22
You consumed an emergency contraception pill following protected intercourse. This action could induce withdrawal bleeding around one week later. Post this bleeding, your menstrual period may occur within roughly one month from your prior cycle. With typical cycles lasting 28-29 days, anticipate your period near late March. If any concerning or irregular symptoms manifest, visit a gynecologist.

Age 33, last period was on 7th nov, on 16th nov i had an relation, . This month I have not yet got my periods. I had even taken pregnancy test by kit, which was negative. So it's I can be pregnant or reason for delay in periods.
Female | 33
It is normal to be worried about a late period. Missed periods can be caused by a multitude of things like stress, hormonal fluctuations, or lifestyle changes. A negative test at home means that you are not pregnant, but the test is not always right. To get a clear answer, my advice is to wait a few days and do another test or consult a gynecologist who can help you.

Please tell me wether is it fine to use Oralcon-F ( Levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol contraceptive pills ) starting from middle of my cycle and using Levonorgestrel 1.5mg morning pill for 3 days at the same time? To prevent pregnancy ? Because my husband would visit me for a short vacation. I suspect wether Oralcon- F would not completely protect as l am starting at the middle of cycle. Until it get 7 days can I also use morning pills with it for 3 days to protect from pregnancy?
Female | 29
Starting Oralcon-F in the middle of your cycle may not provide immediate contraceptive coverage, as it typically requires seven days for full effectiveness. Using Levonorgestrel 1.5mg for three days as an emergency contraceptive may offer additional protection, but it’s essential to consider that these pills serve different purposes. For optimal safety and assurance, I recommend discussing your plan with a gynecologist. This way, you can receive personalized advice tailored to your situation, ensuring you feel confident about your contraceptive choices.

I am currently on phentermine for weight loss and metformin for insulin resistance. I also take vitamins b12,d3,water pills,and vaginal ph balance vitamins. I'm currently on the depo Provera birth control shot once every 3 months. My last shot was feb.13th. I have had more frequent headaches for 2 weeks and ive lost a lot of weight the past 2 weeks and im also very fatigued everyday. To add to it. Ive been more emotional and moody. My moods are all over the place. I recently had bleeding for about 8 days (march22nd to April 1st) it wasn't heavy at all (I didn't need a pad or anything), but it was red. Not dark. Bright light red. It had suddenly started. Lasted for 8 days and then suddenly stopped. I never bleed because im on depo. Maybe an occasional spotting for a few hours every 3 or 4 months, but never actual bleeding. I thought it was odd so I took a pregnancy test. Faint positive. So took 4 more and they were all faint positives. Both red and blue dye tests. I had no cramping while I was bleeding, but now I'm having slight tightness in my lower belly and some upper back pain. Dull back pain. What could this possibly mean?
Female | 23
You need to go to the gynecologist for professional assessment. According to the symptoms, phentermine, metformin, and Depo Provera may be hindering your menstrual cycles and hormonal balance. Blood and home pregnancy test kits may indicate the chance of pregnancy, but confirmation with additional tests is important.

My wife taken unwanted 72 pill, after 6 days she had bleeding,so my que is how long the bleeding occurred and is this bleeding or a period . And is the normal bleeding than in how many hours or days the bleeding stop .. i am little bit confused and have tension.
Female | 22
Bleeding after the unwanted 72 pills is a common side effect of it. The bleeding may persist for a few days or up to a week. This one, however, consists of lighter than the regular period. It's your body that got used to this pill. The bleeding will go away naturally after a couple of days. Therefore, let your wife take plenty of rest, and drink water, and if the bleeding is heavy or lasts for more than a week, it would be better to see a gynecologist.

I had laporatomy surgery for ileum herniation in 2013 and i have a vertical midline incision in this surgery. Now is it safe to become a pregnant
Female | 25
A laparotomy surgery is a procedure used for the repair of an ileum hernia. Therefore, the situation when a woman who has had surgery of this nature becomes pregnant is not entirely clear. However, the vertical midline incision from your surgery may cause some complications during pregnancy, such as the risk of the incision opening up. You should bring up the subject of conceiving a child with your gynecologist so that they can track you and advise you during the period.

Female | 21
It is normal to have late periods without being pregnant; there are different causes, such as stress, disruption of your normal routine or hormonal imbalances. You should find out the reasons for your missed cycle before taking birth control pills. If you are sure that you are not pregnant and your gynecologist says so, begin taking them, but do not forget to follow every instruction given.
