Is it normal to stop bleeding 5 days post medical abortion?
Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?

It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.

You are going through a rough patch with your menstrual cycle. Missing periods may be due to a variety of factors such as stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances. The negative pregnancy tests are a positive outcome. Monitor your symptoms carefully and consult with a gynecologist to determine the cause of your missed periods and the appropriate treatment.

I recently had unprotected anal sex. Ejaculate was expelled shortly afterwards and then I took a shower. Less a few hours later, my partner placed a finger in anal cavity and then into my vagina; could this result in a pregnancy? Thanks….
Female | 23
When an egg is fertilized, that is called pregnancy. A sperm can swim and it can live for a little while outside the body. Pregnancy may occur if any sperm gets into your vagina. Keep an eye on strange symptoms such as missed periods or feeling sick (nausea). If you’re concerned, take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.

I am 19 years old female my periods are delayed by 20 days and day before yesterday i got little light bleeding so i thought i got my periods but i am not bleeding normally. Can you suggest something to make the flow normal
Female | 19
It’s normal to have irregular periods at your age. This can happen because of stress, weight changes, or hormone problems. If you’re sexually active, you may also want to take a pregnancy test. Drink plenty of water, eat well, and get enough sleep. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a gynecologist.

I had a surgical abortion. I bled for 2 weeks after that 2 weeks I had unprotected sex I was fine. But this time after the unprotected sex I bled
Female | 19
Some probable causes are Cervical sensitivity after a surgical abortion, which can lead to easy bleeding, and Cervical bleeding a bit after sex too. If bleeding doesn’t stop or gets worse, it is important to discuss it with a gynecologist who will check to see if everything is okay.

I am 21 years old, and I’ve been having an itch in my vagina but it’s not regular. I just realized now that my discharge is yellow but it doesn’t smell bad. What type of infection is this?
Female | 21
A yeast infection might be causing your symptoms. Itching and yellow discharge are signs. Moisture, tight clothing, antibiotics – these can lead to yeast infections. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories can provide relief. But if symptoms persist, see a gynecologist.

My periods date was on may 13 and i got a sexual intercourse on may 5. Is there is any chance of pregnancy here?
Female | 22
The possibility of pregnancy depends on the timing of sexual intercourse in relation to your menstrual cycle. Sperm can survive for several days, so conception is possible if you ovulated earlier than expected or have a shorter cycle. If you're concerned take a home pregnancy test after your missed period.

Female | 21
You are experiencing some irregular bleeding after taking the contraceptive pill kit. This can happen sometimes which is normal, as your body goes through hormonal fluctuations. The clot you saw is probably a result of this phenomenon. It's good to keep an eye on your symptoms and see whether the bleeding stays the same or gets heavy. If you have any problems, it's best to contact a gynecologist for more advice.

In that case discuss your options and determine the safest and most appropriate course of action for your situation. Your doctor can assess your pregnancy, and provide guidance on the safest and most appropriate approach, which may include medical abortion if you're within the gestational age limit.

i’m 22 years old and my left breast has been hurting for a while now. sometimes i mistakenly sleep on it and sometimes it hurts when im about to get my period both left and right but now my left breast hurts
Female | 22
It's normal for breasts to feel sore before your period. If we look at all the symptoms we can easily say it's a hormonal thing. But if it's just your left breast that's hurting a lot then the reason can be something other than injury or infection. Try wearing a supportive bra, avoiding sleeping on your left side, and using warm compresses for relief. If the pain doesn't go away, go to a gynecologist for help.

My periods is late 3 days and then 3rd day my very light spotting but periods not come
Female | 24
Are you experiencing a late period with very light spotting? This could have various causes like stress, hormone changes, or your daily routine changing. Sometimes, light spotting happens instead of a full period. Monitor your symptoms closely. If it keeps up, speak with a gynecologist for personalized guidance. Don't forget to drink lots of water, eat nutritious meals, and get enough rest to maintain good health and balance in your body.

Why my period lasting for too long
Female | 20
Is your period lasting too long? If it's over 7 days, hormonal changes could be the cause. Stress, poor diet, and health issues can also play a role. Heavy bleeding and feeling tired are common signs. Eating nutritious foods, managing stress, and getting proper rest may help regulate your cycle. However, if the issue persists, it's important to see a gynecologist for personalized advice.

I am a 21 year old female, I have had painless squishy lumps on my vulva for 7 years. It worries me and I don't want cancer.
Female | 21
A soft painless lump that you have observed may be one of the sebaceous cysts which are the benign growths or other non-cancerous conditions that you might have. The most common causes are blocked follicles or skin conditions. Although these swellings are generally not dangerous, it's important to seek medical advice from a gynecologist.

I am 24 years old my last period was on 25 April and after that on 3rd june I got brown discharge for two days , am I pregnant?
Female | 24
There are many different reasons why someone may experience brown discharge after their period. It is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. It could be caused by hormonal changes, stress, or irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Feeling tired all the time, nausea, or tenderness in your breasts can be signs and symptoms that suggest you might be pregnant. To be sure, take a home pregnancy test.

Semen fell on vulva and was wiped of immediately without any sexual interaction and i pill was taken withiN an hour
Female | 22
If sperm has been in contact with the vulva but no sexual intercourse took place, there is very little chance of getting pregnant. You acted so quickly by popping the "i-pill" that within an hour of the incident you lowered the risk even further. However, it may cause some mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or irregular bleeding.

Mam mera 2 March ko period date thi tho merko yha jnaa hai ki Mera ovulation time day konsa hoga
Female | 19
Your period dates provide insight into ovulation timing. Typically, ovulation occurs approximately 14 days prior to menstruation. If your last period commenced on March 2nd, your probable ovulation window could span March 16th to 18th. Some women experience mild cramping or vaginal discharge changes during ovulation. However, for precise ovulation confirmation, ovulation predictor kits offer a reliable solution.

Female | 24
Taking the data for granted, it is highly improbable that you are pregnant if your period starts after the intercourse and the tests for hCG beta quantitative in blood have a fixed value of 200 mIU/ml. On the contrary, consultation with a gynecologist is important in making a reliable test as well as in dealing with any issues.
