Concerns for Delayed Irregular Periods
How late should irregular periods be before I should be concerned?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 16th Oct '24
Periods not being on time are called irregular periods. It's usual during puberty and approaching menopause. Stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances can delay periods. Consult a gynecologist if your period is over a week late, or if you experience severe pain or abnormal bleeding.

Irregular Flow of periods like blood in a very small quantity for Last 10 days
Female | 22
A hormonal imbalance, stress, or some medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome could be responsible. Other symptoms that one may experience include tiredness and fluctuations in weight. To feel better, try to alleviate stress and live healthily. However, if this persists, it would be wise to see a gynecologist.

You are likely to develop PCOD if you suffer from polycystic ovarian syndrome. The symptoms correlated with this syndrome are things like acne, hair growth, weight gain, and irregular menstrual cycle. You need to be careful with your diet, exercise regularly, and undergo stress control practice to control PCOD. Alternately, the use of medicines when PCOD progresses may also be needed occasionally.

The inner part of my vagina changed from brown to pink and got fuller and I don’t know why
Female | 27
Changes in coloration and fullness can occur due to hormonal shifts, natural variations in your cycle, or even normal physiological responses. These changes are often completely benign. However, if you experience discomfort, unusual discharge, or persistent alterations, it’s wise to seek medical attention. A gynecologist can provide a thorough assessment to ensure everything is well. It’s always best to prioritize your health.

I have developed wart like growth in cluster on my genital area(external labia) since last two months. Not sure if it is STI or something else. The last time I got sexually active was in august 2023, we used protection and didn't have multiple partners. Please let me know if i should visit a gynac or dermat?
Female | 28
The lumps you mentioned seeing around your private parts may be genital warts. They are caused by a virus known as HPV that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Even with protection, one can get HPV. To deal with this, you need to see a gynecologist who will diagnose you properly and suggest treatment options.

Female | 17
During pregnancy, it is common to spot blood and the possible cause of it is implantation, cervical irritation, or infection. But it is better to consult your OB/GYN before making a final decision to avoid any trouble.

I got my period on November 23rd and by December 11th I was bleeding again. I also have pains similar to those of menstruation.
Female | 31
Bleeding between menstrual cycles may be experienced due to a number of factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or some health conditions. Menstrual-like pain could be the most common symptom of the condition. It is of utmost significance to keep track of your symptoms, duration, as well as intensity. In case there is no change in the period or you would like some clarifications for your health issues, I would recommend you consult a gynecologist.

You seem to have an ear discharge that could be due to the fact that you are in the last trimester of your pregnancy. However, pregnancy causes changes in one’s body, thus it can be an ear infection that is easier to happen during this period. Ensure that your ear is always clean and dry. In the case where the discharge persists or the patient suffers from pain or hearing loss, consulting a healthcare provider is the best course of action for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Female | 16
If you're unsure whether you might be pregnant, consider taking a home pregnancy test a few days after a missed period for accurate results. Feeling sick could be due to various factors like hormonal changes, stress, or side effects

My period is late for like 5 days or more and i don't know why
Female | 14
Periods being late is common, so you shouldn't panic straight away. It can also be stress, changes in weight, diet, or exercise habits. It could also be a sign of pregnancy if you've been sexually active. Just breathe deeply. If you are worried, you can take a home pregnancy test to calm you down. If you continue to have irregular periods, you should talk to a gynecologist.

I had an ectopic pregnancy last year 28 September 2023 and they did the Operation ,am l at risk if lm pregnant now.
Female | 33
Having one ectopic pregnancy raises the chances of another happening. You may feel pelvic pain and bleed irregularly. An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants somewhere besides the uterus. If you think you're pregnant, see a gynecologist right away.

It is advisable to see a doctor when you notice any unusual bumps or growths in the genital area. These white bumps may have different causes such as clogging of a gland or an infection. A visit to a gynecologist or dermatologist is recommended for proper diagnosis and treatment.

It is indeed probable that what you are feeling is an allergic reaction. You are advised to make an appointment with a dermatologist to diagnose and treat. In this case, they will diagnose the underlying cause of your issue and suggest the needed solution. Get medical help immediately

Female | 24
You seem to notice changes in vaginal discharge and bleeding patterns. Sometimes, light blood mixed with white discharge followed by watery blood then heavier flow in the cycle's middle can happen due to hormones shifting. It may also relate to hormone imbalance or infections. Keep an eye on these changes, drink plenty of fluids, and see a gynecologist if symptoms continue or worsen.

I have bilateral ovarian cyst
Female | 24
Bilateral ovarian cysts often present with symptoms such as pelvic pain, pressure, or changes in menstrual cycles. These fluid-filled sacs can arise from hormonal imbalances, stress, or natural ovulation processes. In many cases, they resolve on their own without treatment. To manage any discomfort, over-the-counter pain relief may help. However, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and monitoring. Regular check-ups can ensure your health remains a priority and allow for any necessary interventions. Remember, you're not alone in this, and many women experience similar situations successfully.

My periods is late pls help
Female | 19
It's pretty natural for a woman to feel daunted when her menstrual period becomes irregular. Causes of these abnormalities include stress, hormonal changes, diet, or physical activity. Classic signs for you to watch out for are mood changes, bloating, or changes in your appetite. It's vital to also record the appearance of any additional symptoms you may be experiencing. If eventually, you do not see the signs of your period, or you experience a lot of pain, my advice for you is to visit a gynecologist.

Female | 24
In lots of cases, the absence of menstruation might be due to some other physiological disturbances apart from pregnancy. The reasons could be stress, obesity, a fast decrement in body weight, hormone disturbances, or some specific medical conditions. In case you are worried, it is better to consult a gynecologist for further examination.
