Gynecologist
Answered on 13th Aug '24
Your friend's late period might seem concerning, but it's natural for young women. Skipped cycles happen due to stress, routine changes, or minor illnesses. With no sexual activity, pregnancy is out of the picture. To restart her cycle naturally, encourage a balanced diet, exercise, and stress management through deep breaths or yoga. However, if the delay persists or other symptoms arise, seeing a gynecologist is advisable.

Car window slowly touch with belly during 2nd trimester of pregnancy. It's safe or not?
Female | 38
A lightly touching car window to your belly is usually safe in the second trimester. It may cause slight discomfort or worry but is unlikely to harm the baby. Relax and monitor any pain, bleeding, or unusual feelings. If experiencing these, contact your gynecologist. In most cases, everything is okay.

Even if you don't feel pain, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist. They will be able to determine the exact cause of your problem and prescribe you the right medicine.

It's common to miss periods due to stress, hormonal imbalance, weight changes, or excessive exercise. Since pregnancy tests are negative, it's best to consult a gynecologist who can help diagnose the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I have PCOS I have been taking the krimson 35 tablet for past 3 days but yesterday I forgot to take it.what happens?? Should I stop or continue
Female | 25
No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

Which medicine is safe and good to stop periods permanently
Female | 13
Using drugs, it is not safe to completely halt menstruation. The lining of your body is shed during periods, which are a natural occurrence. If you experience extremely heavy or painful periods, there are some safe ways to deal with it. Consult your gynecologist regarding birth control pills or an IUD that can make them lighter or stop altogether but not forever.

I have missed periods for almost 4months is it normal and I'm not pregnant
Female | 20
Many things can cause this - stress, sudden weight gain or loss, hormonal changes, or health issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). You might notice bloating, acne, and extra hair growth too. It's wise to see a gynecologist about this.

After one month pregnancy I decided to abort I take pills for that now it's almost one month complete but still bleeding from my private part please help and suggest me for speedy recovery
Female | 28
A little bit of blood loss after abortion pills are taken for a one-month pregnancy can persist for many weeks. The bleeding period is often heavy. It's quite likely that this might happen. Your body is doing some calibration. To speed up your healing, make sure to rest, drink plenty of fluids, do not engage in strenuous activities, and go back to your gynecologist if the bleeding lasts more than a few weeks.

Visit a gynecologist to get prescribed hormonal medications, lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, or medical procedures based on your specific situation. Do not self diagnose as it can be risky.

Missed period I want to see doctor
Female | 28
A missed cycle can stem from various factors such as stress, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, or health conditions. Common symptoms include fatigue, breast tenderness, or changes in appetite. It's essential to monitor your situation and consider a home pregnancy test if that applies to you. Regardless, scheduling a visit with a gynecologist is wise. They can assess your overall health, rule out any concerns, and provide guidance tailored to your needs.

hi, i lost my period like a year ago almost due to restricting calories. I was wondering if i should tell my gynecologist or just keep it to myself and try to solve it on my own because it would be more comfortable for me. Also, if i tell my gynecologist that i might not be eating enough calories, what will happen? Will she involve my family? I would like to know what will happen, like if she’s just going to tell me to try eat more and see if there are my improvements or if she will tell someone or my family to strictly track what i eat every day, which would be really uncomfortable for me
Female | 15
They can help identify the underlying causes, which might include low-calorie intake, hormonal issues, or other factors. If you share your concerns, they will likely focus on supporting you without involving your family unless there’s a serious risk to your health. Your gynecologist may suggest lifestyle changes, monitor your progress, or possibly recommend counseling if needed. Open communication is key to your well-being, and seeking professional help is a positive step toward regaining your health.

I missed my periods or it got delayed don’t know I have gone through PMS and ovulation as well which went well also no pregnancy symptoms not even pcos or pcod what should I do
Female | 20
There can be many reasons for the delay or absence of periods. Stresses, ups, and downs of weight, excessive exercise, or hormonal imbalance could be some of the common reasons besides pregnancy and PCOS/PCOD. The fact that periods are sometimes irregular is also true. If you are not worried, give it a little longer. If the matter continues, think of contacting a gynecologist.

I’ve had my IUD for 3 years now, I just recently started bleeding vaginally almost as if I’m on my period but haven’t had any symptoms like this since getting the IUD
Female | 23
Having heavy vaginal bleeding after using an IUD for some time is not common. Period-like bleeding could mean there's a problem, like an infection or IUD complication. It's crucial to see a gynecologist to determine the cause.

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 am Sathya. Marriage in July 3. First period in July 19. Second person August 26. Third period in sep 19. Please advise in my pracancy mami am possible to pracancy.
Female | 26
Your dates suggest that your menstrual cycle is irregular because there is a difference in the length of your periods. If you had unprotected intercourse during the fertile window, then pregnancy is a possibility. The symptoms like missed periods, nausea, and breast tenderness can tell you if you are pregnant. It's best to take a home pregnancy test or see a gynecologist for confirmation.

25 yo female. my period was very irregular as a teenager and non existent when i had an iud from 18-22. it's been almost around 3.5 years since it was removed and I've been actively trying to conceive with my husband since. periods have been regular since iud removal... between 21-30 day cycles and 2-5 days bleeding each time. Normally, almost everything that comes out is clots. lots of blood clots, very minimal unclotted fluid ever present. Never been concerned about it, that's been my normal for as long as I can remember. this time though its different. currently cycle day 2 and not a single clot in sight. at all. so I'm looking for some advice on if that's normal, or not, or if it changing is abnormal..?
Female | 25
It is common for menstrual cycles to vary in length, especially during the first few years after you stopt birth control pills. Though the absence of clots during this period can be concerning, it is not necessarily a cause for alarm. But if you experience any other unusual symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or unusual discharge, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist.
