Why am I experiencing pain during sex and an itchy vagina, and what at-home treatments can I try?
Hi there, I’m a sexually active female for reference. I have been sexually active for 5 months now and have never had an issue with pain related to sex. This was until the last couple of days. My boyfriend and I had not seen each other in 3 weeks and I just returned home from my trip. We decided to celebrate by having sex. Our celebration ended when I started feeling this immense pain. My boyfriend believes that it could have been from there not being enough lubrication. This pain has continued tor 3 days now, even hurting while not having sex. Sex definitely heightens the pain and discomfort. We have not had sex sense the pain started because it hurts too bad. It even hurts when it is being rubbed. The pain is located surrounding the opening of my vagina, both inside and out, seemingly on the side furthest from my butt. Does that make sense? This is a concern of mine and I was wondering if there was a logical explanation and perhaps an at home treatment? Along the same lines, not sure if they are related. My vagina has been very itchy. I have not noticed any irregular discharge. What may be causing this and what can be done? Also, I just recently started two new supplements. I notice my vaginal discharged had an odor. I started the “Rae’s vaginal balance” supplement and the “Azo cranberry” supplement in hopes to rectify the situation. Is there a reason why I stink and what can I do to fix the issue?

I had emergency pill yesterday and I had sex today. Should I take emergency pill again?
Female | 20
Worry not, I get your concern! But taking the emergency pill repeatedly isn't wise. These pills work optimally when taken shortly after unprotected intimacy. Remember, they don't shield against future pregnancies. If pregnancy fears linger, consider consistent birth control methods. Consult a gynecologist if any unusual symptoms arise.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare
Female | 25
After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person.
In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

Meghna, 21, had protected sex on August 10, took an emergency contraceptive, and had her period on August 19. On September 8, she noticed a small, watery discharge from her nipples, occurring only when pressed. There's no pain, but it's lasted three days. She seeks advice on whether this is normal.
Female | 21
The watery discharge of the nipples without pain can be due to hormonal changes. In some cases, the hormones from the emergency contraception may be responsible for this. It is important to watch those changes and see if they remain or not. If the discharge keeps on going or you see any other strange symptoms, it is better to consult a gynecologist for more assistance.

Female | 22
The whiteness of your urine can be due to several reasons, such as drinking too much water or some foods. Besides, stress can also be the reason for urination more than usual. However, the presence of pain, burning, or other symptoms is usually nothing serious. Just keep your water intake up and be mindful of your body. It's always good to have a gynecologist check any new symptoms or concerns to be safe.

I have been experiencing pink or red vaginal discharge. My period was due 2 days ago. Since 4 menstrual cycles I have been experiencing the same thing. I used to having spotting like this for 4 days and then have my period flow. Is this normal? I am particularly worried this time because I had unprotected sex(my partner did not ejaculate in me) 3 days before my expected period date and now my peirod is delayed by 3 days. What does the redish discharge indicate and are there dangers of pregnancy?
Female | 23
Getting reddish or pinkish vaginal discharge is a cause of concern and panic but it is not uncommon. It is likely to be one of the two possibilities, either hormonal changes or irritation in your vagina. The period can also be late due to these changes. As your partner didn't ejaculate inside you, there is virtually no chance of pregnancy. The red discharge may be a sign of your menstrual cycle. It is advisable to monitor it for a bit longer and if it continues or worsens, it is best to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and advice.

Hi I am Patience a 20 year old who got a discourage 2 months ago and I am still bleeding I would like to know what medicine to take to stop the bleeding cause I have been bleeding for two months now
Female | 20
Such a long period of bleeding could be due to a hormonal imbalance, infection, or some problem with your uterus. It is important to see a gynecologist for the correct diagnosis and the right treatment. However, you can take iron supplements which are common medications to avoid anemia caused by excessive bleeding.

I am 9 months pregnant . My breast are paining I am having pain while getting upstairs. My legs palso pain very much. I am having twins baby
Female | 24
One might experience discomfort as their pregnancy comes to an end, especially with the presence of two embryos. Pain in the chest can be the result of hormonal changes, whereas leg pain can be caused by the increase in weight and the accumulation of fluids. This can be intensified by climbing the stairs, which adds more strain to the body. Being able to keep the body in motion can allow one to let go of some pain, The basic rule is to drink as much water as you can and sleep whenever you can because these will be crucial. However, if the signs are getting worse or turn into severe symptoms, you should consult a gynecologist who can personally check your condition to ensure your and the pregnancy’s safety.

You should see a gynecologist to check on the success of the abortion. Light bleeding, on the other hand, could be a post-abortion result that can be confirmed by visiting a professional.

Is it normal to have bleeding and stomach pain while taking birth control pills for pcos
Female | 23
Some females dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) might face bleeding and abdominal discomfort when using birth control pills. Hormonal fluctuations cause this. Encountering such symptoms needn't raise alarm, yet consulting your gynecologist remains wise. They could recommend dosage adjustments or exploring alternative birth control pill types to better manage these side effects.

I did my pregnancy test. Before 5 minutes it was a faint line, after five minutes it became darker. So am I pregnant?
Female | 25
A faint line that becomes intense may mean that you are pregnant. At times, a faint line might be the first one to come out during early pregnancy. Among the typical pregnancy symptoms are missed periods, nausea, and tiredness. The most advisable thing to do today is to get confirmation from a gynecologist and consult him/her for further guidance.

Female | 22
It’s understandable to feel concerned about a delayed period accompanied by a slight yellow discharge. This could be due to various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or weight changes. While mild discharge is often not alarming, it’s advisable to monitor any additional symptoms. If your period doesn’t start soon or if you experience significant changes, scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist would be wise. They can provide a thorough evaluation and ensure everything is normal.

Is this little piece that looks like triangle is normal hymen of a virgin girl ? O don't know how should it look like and i'm afraid that could be something dangerous. A routine ultrasound was performed on the pelvis and everything was normal and i forgot to tell the doctor about the hymen .i don't complain about anything
Female | 24
It's completely understandable to have concerns about the hymen, especially if you're not sure what to expect. The hymen can vary in shape and size among individuals, and a triangular appearance can be normal. Since your recent pelvic ultrasound showed no abnormalities and you have no symptoms like pain or unusual discharge, it is likely all is well. However, if your concern continues, don't hesitate to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

I am suffering from white discharge doctor after period
Female | 18
It's quite common to undergo a period discharge in white color after your period. It may be your body's self-cleaning method. Yet, if the discharge has a potent stench, is thick and lumpy, or triggers itching or burning, it might be a symptom of a yeast infection. These infections are generally treated with over-the-counter medications such as antifungal creams or suppositories. The use of water and cotton underwear that can breathe easily as well as drinking is the key to your body healing faster.
