It's common to experience discomfort during menstruation, but when pain is severe and persists despite over-the-counter medications, this may warrant further attention. Factors such as hormonal changes, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids can lead to intense cramps. To help manage your discomfort, consider applying a heating pad to your abdomen, resting, and staying hydrated. If the pain continues or worsens, I recommend reaching out to a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment options.

My last period was on jan 2 and have been having unprotected sex since then i did a home pregnancy test and the result was one dark line at C and faint line at T also have brownish and red blood since yesterday
Female | 23
Here's what your symptoms indicate - there's a possibility you're pregnant. The test revealing one dark line and one faint line could signify early pregnancy. And that brownish, reddish blood? It might be implantation bleeding, something that can occur in those initial stages. But to know for certain, you'll need to take another pregnancy test or see a gynecologist.

I have missed my period and it is 3 days late. I tested after one day of mu missed period and the result was negative. I have unusual white discharge after my ovulation. Also, after ovulation, I had pain in my lower abdomen.
Female | 28
Having a delayed period sometimes is normal. Negative pregnancy tests can occur early. White vaginal discharge after ovulation is common and may vary throughout the cycle. Lower abdominal discomfort after ovulation can stem from various causes like gas or muscle strain. Stay hydrated, consume nutritious foods, get sufficient rest. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice from a gynecologist.

We had unprotected sex , my wife was on periods it was her day 3 , on 4th day she continued with her periods and also took unwanted 72 within 20 hrs , on 5th day she had white discharge and on 6th day again had bleeding?
Female | 30
Emergency contraception such as Unwanted 72 can cause bleeding diseases which might not be normal, especially when it happens twice in one month. The white discharge and the bleeding might be the result of the hormonal changes brought by the pill. This will take care of itself. .

I got a Pap smear on Wednesday(06/05) and im still spotting(06/08) is that normal?
Female | 21
Bleeding a bit after a Pap smear is perfectly normal so don’t be scared. Your body may be a little sensitive from the test. The cervix can be touched with a swab and this may cause some spotting too. If the bleeding is light and goes away within a few days, there’s usually nothing to worry about. Be sure to drink lots of water and get some rest. If it’s heavy or lasts longer than a few days then contact a gynecologist.

I experienced blood spot in my panty after 2 weeks of periods. What is the reason behind it?
Female | 29
Finding blood spots in your underwear after your period is usually not a big deal. It often happens due to hormonal shifts or irregular shedding of the uterine lining. Lifestyle changes and stress can also contribute to this. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and if you have any concerns, let your gynecologist know.

There is still a possibility of pregnancy even with protected intercourse. Menstrual cycles can also vary especially if you are undergoing stress, hormonal changes, or other factors that can influence your cycle.

I am a 15 year old female, I have been experiencing extreme nausea, bloating, and headaches for the past 2 weeks. I am a PCOS patient and haven't had my period in about 90 days, could that be the cause?
Female | 15
Our symptoms of extreme nausea, bloating, headaches, and irregular periods could potentially be linked to your PCOS condition. PCOS can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to various symptoms. However, other factors like gastrointestinal issues, infections, or stress could also be contributing.

Good afternoon doctor,my message might be a lengthy one so sorry about it…..so,I had my last menstruation on the 19th of Jan and ended on 22nd of jan. On the 3rd of this month I went to my fiance place and we started humping each other with clothes on then after that he cummed in my mouth and we continue then I off my trouser and was only in my panties and we comtinue,he's naked then, after that he tried penetrating but I am a virgin and he was unable to so,after that I started getting scared that what if when he tried to penetrate a sperm has slipped in and might lead to pregnancy. I've been having a nervous breakdown since the day and feeling anxious and scared a lot that what if I get pregnant,since that I've been feeling a little nauseated and that also double my fears but doctor,can someone gets pregnant in 4/5 days and the symptoms will be showing or it's my anxiety that causes it,I drank ginger tea like 3 times after getting home.so,can I be pregnant with him cumming inside my mouth and then 10 minutes after he tried penetrating or I shd relax…. I have malaria and I haven't treated myself but I don't know if me feeling nauseated slightly is malaria or pregnancy,the nauseous feeling is so mild that sometimes I think it's just in my head and there's no nauseous feeling. I'm so tired and stressed about it and my anxiety is back feeling so scared and not knowing what to do or expect. And ‘what if’ is what's killing me now that what if a sperm has leaked in tho,he said there's no sperm but precum
Female | 23
The likelihood of pregnancy in your situation is minimal. Pregnancy indicators manifest gradually, not within a mere 4-5 days. The mild nausea could stem from anxiety or even malaria. Seeking medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment of potential malaria is crucial.

Dry vagina. 23 years. On and off on contraceptive. Had regular but now irregular periods. Burning vagina after sex. Married
Female | 23
You might deal with vaginal dryness: an issue where the vagina lacks moisture. This condition may cause pain, burning, and discomfort during intercourse. Potential reasons are hormone changes from birth control pills or irregular menstrual cycles. Using a water-based lubricant during sex could ease the irritation. Drinking plenty of fluids and consulting a gynecologist for advice are recommended steps.

The situation is that the patient came to the doctor to change the Mirena spiral. The IUD Mirena was recommended by the attending gynecologist after surgery to remove an ovarian cyst and polyp. Diagnosis: adenomyosis (before surgery, the patient complained of heavy, non-painful menstrual bleeding). The first spiral lasted 5 years without problems. The gynecologist introduced a new IUD without first removing the old one. In connection with this situation, I have some questions. I would be grateful for your professional opinion. 1. Is it possible to correctly install the Mirena coil into the uterine cavity if the previous coil was not removed? 2. What side effects can be caused by the simultaneous presence of hormonal IUDs (two sterile foreign bodies) in the uterus. Could this cause health problems and harm to the patient? 3. How can one explain the symptoms that arose after the installation of the second Mirena, such as pain in the lower abdomen, lower back and excessive menstrual bleeding?
Female | 40
I would recommend that the new coil should not be inserted until the old one removed. This can result in problems such as perforation or infection. The presence of two hormonal IUDs in the uterus may cause hormonal imbalance and the risks of side effects. To treat the symptoms of lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, and heavy menstrual bleeding, consultation with a gynecologist who is an adenomyosis specialist is recommended.

Hi, good day Last month I visited my aunt, used the toilet at her place, the toilet was awful Two days later I started feeling this light itch in my vagina, labia majora It continued the itch became worse and I even noticed a discharge I went to the pharmacy and bought fluconazole After taking the dose the discharge stopped and the itching reduced a great deal But then I exhausted the tablet I think I took it for five days I felt the infection was gone though I still had a bit of an itch... Afterwards my period came and during the course of my period I experienced no itch but after I was done with my period the itch returned, though not as it was before I started taking fluconazole, just that I get the itch from time to time I've not had sexual intercourse before (penis in vagina).
Female | 18
You might have yourself a yeast infection. Yeast infections can result in itching and unusual discharge. These occur when there is an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the vagina. This can be caused by taking certain drugs or being in a wet place such as using a dirty toilet. Buy some anti-fungal creams or tablets from your local pharmacy. Another thing you could do is wear cotton underwear more often because they’re breathable fabric and practice good hygiene so that this doesn’t happen again.

Hi doctor, I need few suggestions from you Please guide me My name is swathi age is 29 Currently 37 weeks and 5 days I had recent check ups where doc said like I have high BP and my amniotic fluid is reduced from 14.8 to 11 .after following the tablets and injection.we have another check up where doc advised to take bp tablet for 3 times and also mentioned that my baby heart rate is 171 and Umbilical artery PI is high with fetal tachy cardia .

So doc advised to take medicine for cold .as I have slight cold from last night .Another visit is after 2 days Could you please suggest me what to do for this like precaution to be taken or what can I do to maintain for good health of my baby
Female | 29
Elevated blood pressure during pregnancy risks complications. Low amniotic fluid requires close observation. Rapid fetal heart rate raises alarm. Fever potentially signals infection. Consistently take blood pressure medication. Hydrate well to promote amniotic fluid production. Rest adequately. Consult your gynecologist promptly for guidance addressing these issues.

My daughter has a pidonial cyst on her rectume the bone is big like a baseball ball yellow. Plus she’s 8 weeks pregnant. Can she get anesthesia surgery? She been taking 8 to 10 extra straight Tylenol. Please will this harm baby?
Female | 22
Your daughter has a pilonidal cyst. It's an unpleasant bump containing yellow fluid around her tailbone area. This cyst leads to pain, swelling, and redness. Too much Tylenol may harm the baby, so seeking medical advice promptly is crucial. Anesthesia during surgery can be safe for pregnant women. However, thoroughly discussing all options with a gynecologist ensures optimal safety for your daughter and baby.

Female | 15
You might be suffering from a vaginal yeast infection. Developments can take place in women who have such conditions, even in the days following the period. They are defined by the secretion of non-fatty material, unpleasant sensations of the vagina, and the small labia swelling. To relieve the infection use over-the-counter creams for yeast. Don't forget to keep the location clean and dry. Consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.

Hi,I am a 20 year old female. my vaginal itches and anytime i sit there is this unpleasant smell from my vaginal I can smell it and it has been happening even before my vagina started itching. I want the smell gone please
Female | 20
You might have a common condition called bacterial vaginosis. It causes irritation and a fishy smell due to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your vagina. To help, use delicate, unscented soap and wear cotton underwear. However, it's best to see a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Two days after periods, sperm dripped on the vagina. No penatration happened. Is there possibility for pregnancy?
Female | 25
No penetration equals a low chance of pregnancy. Early symptoms of pregnancy are missed periods and morning sickness. If you spot such signs, think about getting a pregnancy test. To prevent pregnancy, next time you should think about using protection.

Yeast infections in my pussy
Female | 29
Yeast infections typically present with symptoms like itching, unusual discharge, and irritation. They occur due to an imbalance in the natural flora, often triggered by factors such as antibiotics, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system. Treatment generally involves antifungal medications, which can be obtained over the counter or prescribed by a healthcare professional. Maintaining good hygiene and wearing breathable underwear may help prevent recurrences. If you continue to experience discomfort or if symptoms worsen, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored advice.

My partner expected periods is jan22 till now for her came can we take the pregancy test at home
Female | 22
A missed period can indicate pregnancy. If your partner expected her period on January 22 yet it did not arrive, take a home pregnancy test. Signs of pregnancy include irregular periods, feeling queasy, exhaustion, and sensitive breasts. Should the test be positive, consult a gynecologist. They will verify the results and advise on further action.
