Why is my vagina getting wider before periods?
Hi I have recently facing infection on my vagina. It comes every month before periods. I have burning sensation and itching whenever it contacted with water. My most concern is, I recently noticed that my vaginal opening is getting bigger or wider. This concerns me a lot. I do have a partner but we only have sex once a year. Apart from that, I'm not doing any kind of sexual activities. Please give me remedy and reason for this.

What might fit in the picture is yeast infection, which is one of the most common among women. The burning and itching are the two primary common symptoms. The feeling of your vaginal opening getting bigger or wider may be due to swelling from the infection. Antifungal creams or suppositories that you can get over the counter could be tried for this purpose. Don't forget to keep the region clean and dry, and wear cotton underwear to promote the healing process.

it's essential to seek immediate medical attention. Some blood pressure medications may not be safe during pregnancy, but abruptly stopping them can also be risky. Consult with a gynecologist who can assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance

I have slight pain on the right side of pelvic area and also missed my periods this month. Although I was having regular periods since last month, no sexual activity since 4 months. The pain is dull but constant it becomes more noticeable when the urge to pee increases.
Female | 24
It's not uncommon to experience pain in the right pelvic area along with missed periods. This could be due to ovarian cysts or even a urinary tract infection, especially if the pain worsens when you need to pee. See a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Im doing this enquiry for my girfriend who is having white discharge and itching in her vagina… the discharge is thick white and the itching comes and goes
Female | 26
It sounds like she is experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection. Since these are common symptoms of this type of infection. It's caused by overgrowth of the fungus Candida, that occurs due to antibiotics use, hormonal changes, or a weak immune system. She must see a gynecologist to get it treated.

Female | 23
Bleeding after intimacy might seem alarming, yet often has simple causes like cervical sensitivity. Still, your well-being comes first. Promptly inform your gynecologist about any post-coital bleeding. They'll investigate potential causes and advise next steps, ensuring you and baby's safety.

Okay I had unprotected sex yesterday took lydia emergency contraceptive pills today in the morning around 11am and had another unprotected sex just now 1:46pm do I need to take another contraceptive emergency pills
Female | 19
You should be good since the morning-after pill blocks an egg from ovulating for a while. Unprotected sex should be avoided in the future.

Periods related issues period can't come without any medicine
Female | 23
Irregular menstruation can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, weight fluctuations, or underlying health conditions. Common signs may involve missed periods, changes in flow, or discomfort. While some choose medication to regulate cycles, many lifestyle adjustments can also be helpful, like maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress. If you're finding it challenging to establish a routine, seeking professional advice from a gynecologist is a wise choice. They can offer personalized support and ensure there are no underlying issues that need attention.

Unwanted pregnancy medicine fr 3 mnth
Female | 25
From my point of view, a person shouldn’t take any medications for an unwanted pregnancy without a doctor's consultation. An appointment needs to be made with a gynecologist or an obstetrician who is trained to offer appropriate care and advice.

Bleeding has not stopped after taking Unwanted Kit I have taken 3 pills or I have had a month Bleeding has not stopped I have spotting
Female | 25
You have extended bleeding following Unwanted Kit tablets. This might be caused by incomplete termination or hormonal imbalance. If the pills did not function as expected, spotting could also occur. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical assistance for further clarification. Additional treatment may be recommended by a gynecologist or an assessment done to effectively deal with the problem.

It's not possible to be two months pregnant if you had sex in August and had a scan in May showing that. Please consult your gynecologist to clarify your pregnancy timeline and get accurate information.

I am a 16 year old female who was recently developed concerning symptoms. In the past 3 days, I have noticed a sharp aching pain in my lower left abdomen which comes and goes throughout the day. I also have lower back pain, bloating (which is getting better each day), urgency to urinate, brow discharge and pelvic pain. I have slightly lost my appetite but don’t feel full after meals. I also don’t feel tired. This has all occurred at the end of menstruation, which began 6 days ago and ended yesterday.
Female | 16
Normally, you feel troubled by your symptoms. In some cases, sudden abdominal cramps, back problems, changes in urination during the menstrual cycle, or digestive problems can be related. A decrease in bloating is expected as the body gets used to it, but it will diminish over time. However, if the symptoms persist or are severe, it would be advisable to consult a gynecologist to rule out conditions like ovarian cysts or urinary tract infections. Using relaxation techniques and staying hydrated can assist you in managing the discomfort.

Is it really necessary to take contraceptives pills if you are not having sex often? Contraceptive pills gives you any advantages?
Female | 26
Birth control pills work by blocking eggs from sperm. Even sans frequent sex, consistent pill taking ensures efficacy. Plus, they regulate periods, control acne, and relieve cramps. Consult a gynecologist to choose the right pill type.

I am a 22 year old female. I had sex with a condom on 11th of July which is two days after my ovulation date. After the sex, I took an emergency pill (eazy pill) just to be certain. On the 18th I started bleeding and it stopped on the morning of 20th. I'm expected to get my period today the 23rd but all I'm feeling is weird abdominal cramping and the constant need to poop. What could this indicate?
Female | 22
It is normal to feel down at some point, especially after taking the emergency pill. The bleeding and cramping you're experiencing can be side effects of the pill, caused by hormonal imbalance. The strange abdominal pain and the frequent need to use the bathroom may also be due to these hormonal changes. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well. If you continue to feel unwell, it is advisable to discuss your condition with a gynecologist.

Female | 22
If you've had sex and your period is normal, it's usually a sign that you're not pregnant. However, sometimes early pregnancy bleeding can be mistaken for a period. Early pregnancy symptoms include missed periods, nausea, and breast tenderness. If you're worried, you can take a pregnancy test or consult a gynecologist for confirmation. Always use a condom to prevent pregnancy and stay safe.

My sister is 6 month of pregnancy. In her echo cardiograph test, report found umbilical portal systemic veins shunt. What should I do?? How much it is serious.
Female | 27
An umbilical portal systemic veins shunt appeared on your sister's echo cardiograph test. This condition affects blood flow in the baby's body, potentially leading to encephalopathy - a problem causing developmental delays. Speaking to a pediatric heart specialist is crucial. They may advise close monitoring during pregnancy and after birth, ensuring the best outcome for your sister and the baby. Early detection and proper management significantly impact the situation.

Male | 19
Experiencing sudden and frequent discharges can be concerning. Such symptoms may result from various factors, including infections, hormonal changes, or stress. It's essential to observe any accompanying signs like odors or itching. Maintaining good hygiene, wearing breathable clothing, and managing stress can help alleviate discomfort. However, I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation tailored to your specific needs.

You might have a vaginal infection or skin condition. Whitish bruises and itching could be signs of a fungal infection or another issue. Visit a gynecologist for a proper examination and treatment. It's important to get the right diagnosis so you can start the correct medication.
