What does a faded pregnancy test line mean?
I am 11 days late when I took a pregnancy test there was a faded line and then disappeared any idea what that can mean?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 19th July '24
Having a faint line without a missed period is confusing. It happens when you test too early, have chemical pregnancy, dilute urine, or defective test. Sore breasts and fatigue are signs. To clarify, use the first morning urine. Track periods, consult a gynecologist if unsure.

Hi I was ovulating and had sex and took a plan b and still got my period could I be pregnant
Female | 22
If you took plan B after having sex during ovulation, got your period, and experienced no unusual symptoms, it's unlikely you're pregnant. Plan B reduces the chances of pregnancy by preventing or delaying ovulation. However no contraception is 100% effective, so taking a pregnancy test or consulting a gynecologist is a good idea if you're still concerned.

Female | 20
A missed period for 3 months and an enlarging tummy could be indications of pregnancy. Other symptoms include nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. It is important to first take a home pregnancy test or consult a gynecologist to confirm the gestation.

I had protected sex and my period is delayed and later seeing light bleeding
Female | 17
There can be several factors if you are experiencing a delayed period followed by light bleeding like stress, hormonal changes, contraceptive use, and the possibility of pregnancy. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is entirely foolproof. If you are concerned about pregnancy confirm by taking a home pregnancy test.

About 2 months ago I have a c section delivery. From that my periods came after 15 days or this time I have a period or bleeding is not stopping at my 7 day or it is now 9 day of my period
Female | 24
Irregular periods after giving birth are the most common complications of childbirth. Often, the hormones that our body gives us can provoke the bleeding to last longer than normal. Make sure to drink sufficient water, eat healthy, and sleep enough. If the problem continues, talk to your gynecologist for advice.

hello doc, I have quite a lot of pimple-like spots in the vaginal opening area, is that considered condyloma acuminata? However, after I read some of the characteristics of this disease, I didn't feel any of it. I had never had sex before the spots appeared, but I had masturbated.
Female | 24
Pimply spots in the vaginal region may stem from various causes, not solely condyloma acuminata (genital warts). These spots could arise from irritation, ingrown hair, or even sweat glands' presence. Maintain the area clean and dry. Seeking help from a gynecologist to obtain a proper evaluation and guidance would be advisable.

I, a girl was masturbating using a toy but suddenly start bleeding and the blood was not in huge or small quantity but still a lot blood
Female | 21
If you see blood when playing with a sex toy, don’t fret. Sometimes, not using enough lube or having too much friction can create small tears in the delicate tissues. These tears may result in some bleeding. Make sure to use a lot of lubricant next time and take it slow – you don’t want this happening again. Chances are everything is fine if it only happened once or twice, but if it keeps happening often then maybe talk to a gynecologist about things to make sure everything is still okay.

I have fibroid issues or cyst
Female | 31
As a cyst or fibroid goes, so it means that some growths in the body shouldn't be there. They can cause some symptoms like pain in the belly, excessive bleeding, and needing to pee a lot. Fibroids and cysts can happen because of hormonal fluctuations. At times, we may not know the precise cause. Treatment can be medication, surgery, or sometimes watching to make sure they don't cause any problems.

I am 35 Yr old female. Me and my husband have been trying for a baby for sometime. This time, I was 5 days late for my period and I thought I was preg. But 6th day I got blood when I wiped with tissue. But urine there was no blood. 2 full days have been over. My total blood flow has been 1 pad full only. This is different from my usual periods. I don't have major cramps like how I used to have during menses. My cramps are very mild. What should I do?
Female | 35
You are experiencing some changes in your menstrual cycle. It is commonplace to have spotting and minor cramps during the first few weeks of pregnancy. If your menstruation is starting, it might be a little different. Stress, hormonal changes, or even lifestyle factors could be some of the reasons for this. If the symptoms continue or worsen, you should talk to a gynecologist to get personalized advice.

During or after fingering, my girlfriend experiences a lot of burning and pain, which persists for two to three days. What should we do?
Female | 20
She must have an infection or an injury somewhere on the vaginal area. I recommend that she should go to see a gynecologist to get the specific diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, don't be active sexually to prevent the situation from getting worse or having further complications.

I am 22 years old, and had my last period on 22nd December, 2024 which lasted 4 days (the period before that also only lasted 4 days). I had protected sex (used condoms and withdrawal together) on 12th January. My next period was supposed to start on 22nd January 2025. However, it is now 5th February and I have not yet gotten my period. I took a pregnancy test on 2nd February 2025 (early morning), and the test results were negative. I used to have irregular periods 2-3 years ago, however, I had been managing my weight and they were pretty regular the last 2-3 years. This is the first time I've had such a long delay. What are the chances of the test results being false? Do I need to take another test?
Female | 22
Negative pregnancy tests are often accurate, especially if taken after a missed period, but if you still feel uncertain, retesting can provide reassurance. Irregular cycles can sometimes return due to stress, changes in weight, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period does not start soon or if you continue to feel uneasy, I recommend consulting with a gynecologist. They can offer personalized guidance and determine if further evaluation is needed.

Am 15 year old having burning and itching sensation at vigina after peeing and then remains for the whole day what to do now?
Female | 15
You may have a urinary tract infection (UTI), a common disease. A bacterium that enters the urinary tract is one of the causes of such an infection. The sensation of burning and itching after urinating is a typical symptom of a UTI. You must drink plenty of water rather than holding in the urine. If the urge to pee occurs immediately, don't wait until you are comfortable. In addition, you should better put on cotton underwear and abstain from perfumed soaps in that area. If the symptoms do not improve, or become worse, it is necessary to see a doctor to run some tests and probably take some medicine to clear off the infection.

I've had my menus pause 3-4 years ago. Yesterday suddenly I'm bleeding and having my periods again and even my ankles have swollen . What is the cause eof such happening suddenly
Female | 47
It's understandable to feel concerned about these sudden changes. Bleeding after several years can be caused by various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying medical conditions. Swelling in your ankles may indicate fluid retention, which could be linked to your symptoms. I recommend consulting a gynecologist promptly to discuss these changes, as they will offer you personalized advice and appropriate tests. They can help determine the underlying cause and suggest suitable treatments.

I'm 22 years old female and i living together with my fiance. I always had irregular period . In this month my period is late 7 days. I took 2 pregnancy test and both are negative. I feel tired and sleepy. Am i pregnant ? What is the reason for my late period. My period dates of last months January - 23 February - 19 March - 21
Female | 22
A late period can mean many things, not just pregnancy. Stress and weight change are common culprits. You feel sleepy – that could be anything. Tracking your period is smart so you can share details with a gynecologist. If worried, make an appointment for their expert opinion. The pregnancy test matters, but other factors deserve consideration too.

Mild fluid noted within endometrial cannel
Female | 38
A small fluid build-up in the endometrial canal might stem from hormones or growths called polyps. Irregular periods or pelvic pain could signal this condition. Ultrasound imaging helps pinpoint the underlying cause. Treatment options vary based on the specific issue identified. Maybe your gynecologist prescribes hormonal medication or a minor procedure to address the problem.

Female | 33
Experiencing swollen, red, and dry sores on the genitals could be due to various factors. These might include herpes, irritation or allergic reactions, yeast or bacterial infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or skin conditions like eczema. Consult a gynecologist or a urologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I also took a test on Thursday and it said negative.. is it possible that’s a false negative

A brown spotting might be a sign of implantation bleeding, but it is hard to definitively identify without a medical examination. Please talk to your gynecologist

I'm 4 days late for my periods. I had protected sex on 13th Jan and we also used the pulled out method even after wearing a condom. I'm experience no signs of pregnancy and I had 3 negative tests in past 3 days I've been experiencing very low intensity cramps for past 2 days. I drank last night and also tried many home remedies to bring my periods early like massages, exercises and yoga.What are the chances that I still might be pregnant?
Female | 19
With protected intimacy and negative tests, pregnancy risk appears minimal. Mild cramps can stem from various factors like imminent periods or hormonal shifts. Prudent to avoid alcohol if pregnancy suspected. Stay observant of symptoms; if concerned, consult a gynecologist for guidance.
