Can Unprotected Sex During Menstruation Cause STIs?
hi, if i have unprotected sex while my partner is on her period for only once, is that enough for me to get sti and does it make a difference if i do it again ?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Unprotected intercourse during menstruation can raise the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Protection, such as condoms, should be used to limit the chances of STIs. Please go to a gynecologist or an STI expert wherever you sense any panic or signs.

I have sex on the last day of my period dat is on sixth of this month isn’t possible that am pregnant
Female | 29
On the last day of your period, sex does not guarantee the absence of pregnancy. Sperms are viable to survive for 5 days in the female reproductive tract. Therefore, you better use contraception if you do not wish to conceive. Please refer to a gynecologist, to discuss with him/her, the best birth control option for you.

I am 23 yrs female. i was 1 month pregnant. i use unwanted kit. i got menses for the first day i had heavy bleeding, but after that the flow was reduced for 2-3days, and after that only spotting was there. Today is 8th day still there is spotting of blood. What should i do? Is it normal? please suggest me
Female | 23
Period of bleeding post use of unwanted kit is usually for 2 days. Bleeding can usually be managed with sanitary pads designed for heavy flow.
Vaginal bleeding that is not heavy can last for 10–16 days post medical termination. In case if you continue to have bleeding or if you are concerned about the quantity or nature of bleeding at any time post medical termination, consult Gynecologist near you.

Hi I’m currently bleeding since I had intercourse at 5 weeks pregnant which was on the 11th and on the 12th I started bleeding I’m 24 years old
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.

I did pregnancy test but it is unclear. One line is prominent while other one is almost invisible. I want to know what does that mean. If it’s positive, I need to go for abortion. Kindly prescribe medicines. It is for your reference that my last periods started on 28/12/2022. And last I had intercourse on 12/01/2023.
Female | 26
It could be an indication of a very early stage of pregnancy. Get a proper evaluation by a gynecologist to confirm your pregnancy.

I noticed that I was pregnant so I took the first abortion pills and still have the pregnancy symptoms and am feeling something inside my Belle
Female | 29
You should contact your gynecologist for a medical examination at your earliest convenience. Self-administration of the abortion pills could be incomplete and create several complications. The sensation that you have in your belly may be a result of an incomplete termination or some other medical disease.

Based on what you’ve said, it sounds like the chances of pregnancy are pretty slim since he didn’t go in. Feeling tired could be because of many different things like stress, not enough sleep or even being sick with something like anemia – which would also make someone feel exhausted. If you want to stop feeling so tired, make sure to rest loads, eat good food, and drink plenty of water. But if none of this helps or if anything else strange starts happening then visit a gynecologist.

7th day of periods 7th November I took unwanted 72 pills after that on 15th November withdrawal bleeding happened for the first 2 days, not too heavy the medium range may happen then it stopped for a while after that the bleeding started back. Then again on 28th November I had bleeding periods which means that I am still having periods or will it be okay if I have periods so soon... I started bleeding on 28th, I felt withdrawal bleeding but my periods started happening so soon when I took my pills on 7th November, my periods started on 28th November. Today is 5th day of my periods, I'm having cramps.
Female | 20
Taking emergency contraceptive pills can affect your menstrual cycle. Your withdrawal bleeding on 15th November was expected. The bleeding on 28th November may be your normal period. It is okay to have periods so soon. Cramps are common during periods. If you continue to experience irregular bleeding or have concerns, consult a gynecologist for advice.

My hcg level stated that it’s 335, meaning I should be 2 weeks along however my period I yet to come in 2-3 days. Scan revealed nothing . My last period was in 16tg October. Could I be pregnant ?
Female | 23
BASED on your hCG level, YOU could be pregnant... However, the scan DIDN'T show anything yet... Your last period was on 16th October, so it's possible you're just a little over 2 weeks pregnant... You should wait a few more days and take another test... If it's positive, schedule an appointment with your doctor.

My period date date is 17 may, what will be my ovulation date
Female | 33
In a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the start of your next period. Since your period date is May 17, you can estimate your potential ovulation date by subtracting around 14 days.

Hi I’m 29 woman I missed my period and went for HCG test and was 8,966 miu/ml so my question is I’m I pregnant or not?
Female | 28
The HCG result indicates high HCG levels, typically signalling pregnancy. Signs like missed periods, nausea, or fatigue often accompany this. Visiting a gynecologist is wise, they'll confirm and advise next steps.

I am 22 years old, and had my last period on 22nd December, 2024 which lasted 4 days (the period before that also only lasted 4 days). I had protected sex (used condoms and withdrawal together) on 12th January. My next period was supposed to start on 22nd January 2025. However, it is now 5th February and I have not yet gotten my period. I took a pregnancy test on 2nd February 2025 (early morning), and the test results were negative. I used to have irregular periods 2-3 years ago, however, I had been managing my weight and they were pretty regular the last 2-3 years. This is the first time I've had such a long delay. What are the chances of the test results being false? Do I need to take another test?
Female | 22
Negative pregnancy tests are often accurate, especially if taken after a missed period, but if you still feel uncertain, retesting can provide reassurance. Irregular cycles can sometimes return due to stress, changes in weight, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period does not start soon or if you continue to feel uneasy, I recommend consulting with a gynecologist. They can offer personalized guidance and determine if further evaluation is needed.

I am having yeast infection from last one year and from last days having milk white liquid vaginal discharge.what does that indicate
Female | 26
White vaginal dischargeis a normal part of a woman's menstrual cycle, but it can also be a sign of a vaginal yeast infection. Since you have been experiencing a yeast infection for the past year, it is possible that this discharge could be related to that.

Taking emergency contraceptive pills can affect your menstrual cycle and cause changes in your period. If your concerned about pregnancy then do a UPT for confirmation or a home pregnancy test.

Hello sir my name is Sujan. My girl friend got a pregnant 1 month letter we about the pregnancy. 1 month before but now she get the ubnarmel (urine problem) on the urine time blood bleeding re-send time. Morthern 3 she no go to urine
Female | 18
It’s important to notice the indications of your girlfriend. The blood in her urine could be from a urinary tract infection (UTI). These involve painful sensation or burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate even when passing little amounts, and sometimes lower abdominal pains. She might require antibiotics to treat the UTI. Let her drink plenty of water and ensure she goes to the toilet whenever she feels like doing so. Advise her to have enough rest without holding urine for long periods. To receive the correct treatment, it would be best if she gets checked by a gynecologist.

I'm Meena. And my problem is vagina itching burning sensation and whitish yellow discharge sometimes.i regularly drink 2 litre of water.Im suffering from vaginal itching from so far... like 3 to 4 months.sometimes it starts to feel like burning and till now once yellowish white discharge done for 3 days and regular white powder like discharge is happening. I'm not comfortable with doctor to talk about this and I'm really worried about it. Can you please help me to come out from this.
Female | 19
You have been experiencing low burning, and discharging clear, whitish-yellow which are the likely symptoms of yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis that you have because of candida the yeast that naturally resides in the vagina or bacteria. Moreover, the itching and burning might be because of carrying microorganisms that might be harmful. Water is essential, and you should visit a gynecologist for the best treatment.

I am having so much sex with my husband that I am not able to conceive a baby. What medicine should I take now to conceive a baby? Please give me a quick solution.
Female | 21
Engaging in frequent intimate relations doesn’t necessarily guarantee pregnancy, as timing and ovulation play crucial roles. It's essential to track your menstrual cycle to determine the best days for conception. If pregnancy remains elusive after several months, consider exploring factors like hormonal balance or any underlying health issues. While there are supplements to support fertility, please consult with a gynecologist for personalized advice and appropriate treatment options. They can conduct tests and guide you toward a tailored plan to enhance your chances of conceiving.

I had unprotected sex on 5th of January within 1hour i took ipill then from 6th to 8th i had protected sex but still I took ipill am i safe or there is any chance for pregnancy
Female | 26
After taking emergency contraception like the i-Pill, it’s common to experience side effects such as changes in your menstrual cycle, nausea, or fatigue. Since you used protection afterward, the risk of pregnancy is significantly reduced. However, no method is 100% effective. It’s important to watch for symptoms like a missed period. If you have concerns or experience unusual symptoms, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and support.

Female | 28
It is common to have light bleeding after taking emergency contraception; a negative test reduces the risk of pregnancy even further. It could be that your body is experiencing hormonal changes or it’s just under stress – there are many reasons for these symptoms. Also, irregular periods happen sometimes. But if they don’t go away soon or get worse in any way, make an appointment with a gynecologist.
