Should I be concerned about late period and cramps?
Hi, so my period is 5 days late and I've been having cramps since last week and usually when I have period cramps early it means that it's coming on but it has been a week. Sometimes my period is usually a little late but under the circumstances is this something I should be concerned about?

It's not uncommon for periods to be a little late or for cramps to start early, but if it's been a week and your period still hasn't come, it's worth checking in with a gynecologist just to be sure everything's okay. They can give you the best advice based on your specific situation.

I am 23 years. Am having viginal pain, discomfort and alot of yellow watery discharge a day after having sexual intercourse with my partner. What should I do?
Female | 23
You say bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection you are having. This can be the case after sex sometimes. The symptoms you told me, such as vaginal pain, discomfort, and yellow discharge, are the typical signs of this infection. Bacterial vaginosis is commonly treated with medicines. A gynecologist should give the prescription, so it is important to go to the doctor or clinic for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am rly itchy (down there but like inside) and I have a smell and thick white discharge and it’s been like this for about a week
Female | 17
It seems that you’ve got a yeast infection. Yeast are small organisms that can live in warm, humid places like inside your body. The overgrowth of them is the cause of itchiness, thick white discharge, and a smell. You may experience this more after taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes. You can get over-the-counter creams to help treat it, but if it doesn't get better, it's important to talk to a gynecologist. Besides, wearing loose cotton underwear and avoiding perfumed products can help with the prevention of these infections in the future.

Why is my vagina discharging a smelly fluid and it’s itchy at the same time then two days later I start spotting and my menses is in 9 days time why
Female | 24
Experiencing unusual discharge accompanied by odor and itching may indicate a potential infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection. Spotting before your period could be related to hormonal changes, but it’s important to approach this with care. To address discomfort, consider maintaining proper hygiene and wearing breathable clothing. However, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I have blisters in my vagina and foul smelling water is coming out of my vagina
Female | 21
You might have a vaginal infection, which can cause blisters and a foul smell. In such situations, the causes for these symptoms could be either an infection of the natural herpes virus or a bacteria called Gardnerella vaginosis. These infections can be cured with prescribed drugs. A gynecologist's opinion is necessary for precise diagnosis and the right kind of treatment.

I have my perioda issue .. i get it twice in a month .. i had diagonisse with pcos before
Female | 24
This is mostly because of PCOS. The classic signs range from irregular periods which indicate the cycle going more often than usual to other symptoms such as acne and weight gain. PCOS happens when a woman's hormones are imbalanced. It's important to talk to a gynecologist who can help you manage this problem.

I have use constaseptic pill last month till 46 days cross but there is no period come.i have tested pregnancy through the kit but it negetive.Now what to do
Female | 23
Several things can influence the timing of your period, for example, stress, diet changes, or hormonal imbalances. As your pregnancy test was negative, it is not likely to be related to pregnancy. Try to stay calm and give it a little more time. If your period still doesn't come after a couple of weeks, it would be a good idea to see a gynecologist to make sure everything is okay.

Female | 28
You might be facing the problem of irregular periods. This can be the effect of irregular menstrual cycle balance, which is caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, or health issues. It’s necessary proper management of your menstruation cycle and the entire case including the rest of the symptoms you might be having. See a gynecologist for further evaluation and counseling.

Mam first day of periods less bleeding just one or two strains or colour of blood is brown and have clots also the next blood is coming more
Female | 21
When the first day of your period is light with minimal bleeding, everything is likely fine. If the blood is brownish and contains some clots, don't worry; this can happen. On the following day, a heavier flow is normal as your body is adjusting. Brownish blood simply means the blood is older. However, if you feel nervous or experience pain, it would be wise to consult a gynecologist.

Had sex during my periods but am using implant,,my periods didn't stop they still continued though not heavy,,but am worried about getting pregnant am I safe please ,or is it safe to have sex during your periods while on implant
Female | 27
Having sexual intercourse during menstruation while using an implant is generally safe and does not significantly increase the risk of pregnancy. The implant is a reliable contraceptive method, preventing ovulation. Remaining menstrual bleeding, even if light, is common for some individuals using hormonal contraception. If you continue to feel concerned, monitor your body for any unusual symptoms, and ensure to follow up with your gynecologist for personalized advice.

Sex krne ke baad mere bignin part se kuch bahar aa gya placenta ki trh
Female | 19
A prolapse happens when the tissue gets weak near your private area. After intimacy, it bulges out like a placenta. You might feel pressure or discomfort. Don't lift heavy stuff for now. Doctors sometimes suggest exercises. They may recommend a supportive device too. But don't worry; this is treatable. Talk to a gynecologist about advice.

Female | 21
The lump, itchiness, redness, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, a smelly discharge, and pains in your lower stomach and pelvis could all be signs of an infection or inflammation in your vulva or vagina. These symptoms are not typical of having cancer in the vulva. It is vital to visit a gynecologist for an examination and the right treatment.

Stress, hormone changes, health conditions - these may cause missed periods. Taking care through drinking water, getting proper nutrition, and having rest helps. But if issues persist, see a gynecologist to check for underlying problems.

I am a 31yr old lady. I have been experiencing some weird milk white vaginal discharge. Please help
Female | 31
The milk-white vaginal discharge you have might be a result of a common fungus named yeast infection. You may also have some discomforts like redness, and itching along with the discharge. You may use antifungal creams or tablets available without a prescription. It's best to avoid tight clothes and keep the area dry to prevent this from happening again. Remember to practice good hygiene and to wear breathable underwear. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a gynecologist.

Female | 23
There could be an issue with vaginal discharge. Leukorrhea is increased discharge from hormones, infections, or irritants. Signs are changes in color, smell, itchiness, or discomfort. Wear cotton underwear, keep clean, avoid scented products near your vagina. If discharge seems abnormal or doesn't stop, get checked by a gynecologist.

Female | 15
Maybe it seems like you've got a small tear or cut down there. This is something that happens to girls sometimes, especially while on their period and the part is most sensitive at this time. It should get better in a while without any medical intervention. As long as you are gentle and take good care of that area it will get better.

My vagina and the discharge is smelling like rotten or spoiled aloevera
Female | 21
A person's body should throw off anything that is infecting. A notable sign is any concomitant itching or pain. Gynecologists can tell when bacteria are causing the problem. Most probably tests will be needed, and the results will be discussed with you. Your concern will also be addressed and your health status will be made sure of.

Please answer this question. I had an intercourse on oct 24th which Includes only anal penetration around 20 sec with no ejaculation at all . No contact with vagina at all.she had her bleedings on Nov 8th ,dec 6th,jan 3rd and Feb 2nd and last for 3+ days. Did urine pregnancy test on Dec 30 with Evening urine and showed negative. And on Jan 29th( 13+ weeks after intercourse ) did an ultrasound scan at a small clinic and they said no pregnancy is identified. Can I believe the results ?. Do I need any another scan. I'm conserning about cryptic pregnancy. Please give me a clear answer and provide some peace to my mind.
Male | 20
Based on your detailed information, it is very unlikely that you are pregnant, especially since you have had regular menstrual cycles and negative pregnancy tests. The ultrasound conducted 13 weeks after the event further supports this. Cryptic pregnancies are rare and typically present with symptoms like missed periods, but you have had normal bleeding. If you remain concerned, it's reasonable to consult a gynecologist to address any lingering worries.

Female | 23
Menorrhagia or heavy bleeding that is different from your normal cycle could be caused by many factors including stress, weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or medical conditions. Brown discharge might be a sign of an existing health problem. It is recommended that you consult a gynecologist for a confirmed diagnosis and treatments.

I am 16 years old . I had protected sex on the last day of my period . However there was no sperm leakage . I still took postinor 2 and after taking it I started bleeding within 1 week time for 2 days . I am also on a medication fluconazole. My period is now 1 day late
Female | 16
It's common for Postinor 2 to cause a slight delay in menstrual bleeding, and the bleeding you had may be related to the medication. Try not to worry too much, as stress can also impact your cycle. Be patient—things should return to normal soon. If the changes persist or if you notice any unusual symptoms, reach out to your gynecologist for reassurance.
