Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

This could happen when there are hormonal changes before your period starts. Stress or a change in diet may also cause it. However, if you are concerned about being pregnant, take a test to make sure. Should this not help calm you down or if the blood flow increases then seeing a gynecologist would be wise.

You may be experiencing pain because of prostate infection or a UTI. I advise you to visit a doctor for proper diagnosis. He may suggest some antibiotics for your problem. Also, I suggest you take lot of liquids like cranberry juice etc. to remove the bacteria and toxins from the system. I hope this answer proved helpful.

I had an intercourse yesterday but the condom broke and we came to know but i suspect some sperm went inside my body i ate unwanted 72 pill 8 to 10 hours after all this but i still fear pregnancy what should i do

Female | 18

Taking an unwanted 72 within 8 to 10 hours after unprotected intercourse can reduce the risk of pregnancy, but it is not 100% effective. Talk to a doctor for professional advice and discuss other contraceptive options for the future.

Female | 19

There are many reasons you might miss a period—stress, weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medications. One irregular period is usually not a concern. However, if it happens again or you experience symptoms like pain or dizziness, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for advice.

Experiencing brown discharge can be common and may occur for various reasons, such as hormonal changes or leftover menstrual blood. However, it's important to monitor your health. If the discharge has an unusual odor, is accompanied by itching, or persists, a consultation with a gynecologist is advisable. They can offer personalized insights and determine if any further evaluation is necessary.

My sister is pregnant ..she is 38 weeks and her cerebroPlacental ratio is 1 is that normal

Female | 23

The cerebroPlacental ratio of 1 at 38 weeks gestation is within normal parameters. This measurement evaluates the rate of blood flow to the baby's brain. A low ratio could potentially indicate complications such as fetal growth restriction. However, in your sister's specific situation, the results are reassuring. It's advisable for her to maintain consistent prenatal care appointments with her gynecologist to ensure continued monitoring for a healthy pregnancy outcome.

Is it okay to be pregnant the same month you have treated UTI?

Female | 36

It's generally safe to conceive after treating a urinary tract infection (UTI), as long as you feel well and have completed your medication. UTIs can cause symptoms like burning during urination, increased frequency, and lower abdominal pain. After treatment, it’s essential to stay hydrated and practice good hygiene to support urinary health. If you experience any lingering symptoms or concerns about pregnancy, please consult your gynecologist for personalized advice. They can ensure you’re in optimal health for conception and provide support tailored to your situation.
