Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

It seems you're having trouble getting pregnant. One major issue could be "ovulation problems." Poor ovulation makes it hard to conceive. Considering your health and age, age can also make it harder to get pregnant. The best way to address this is to keep a record of your menstrual cycle and consult your gynecologist. They might suggest treatments like medications or procedures to help you conceive.

If ovulated on day 8th when we can do pregnancy test or when I will get my periods

Female | 31

If you ovulated on the 8th day of your cycle, you might consider taking a pregnancy test around 10-14 days after ovulation. Your expected period could be around the 22nd day of your cycle if it's 28 days long. If your period is late, taking a pregnancy test after missing it is recommended for accurate results

I want to stop my periods from 5 date to 13 date plz recommend some mdcn its urgent

Female | 23

I understand the stress of trying to stop your period on specific dates. The most effective way to do this is by using birth control pills, which contain hormones that can control your menstrual cycle. You can start taking the pills a few days before your period to delay it. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness. It's important to consult with a gynecologist for a prescription and guidance on safe use.

Dealing with chronic cervicitis seems challenging. It causes discomfort and irritation in the vaginal area. Repeated infections occur when initial treatment fails. Different medication like antibiotics or antifungals might work better. Follow your gynecologist instructions carefully. Good hygiene habits also prevent future infections.

It's common TO have mixed feelings AFTER an abortion.. You're not alone.. Physical recovery can take a few weeks.. TAKE it easy, avoid sex, and limit exercise.. Expect bleeding AND cramping.. IF it's severe, see a doctor.. Emotionally, it's okay TO feel sadness or relief.. TALK TO a psychiatrist.

I have been suffering from heavy periods since my son was born 6 years ago. I know I have fibroids, but it hasn't been looked at since that time. I'm getting lower back pain, tummy feels on the heavier side and I have put on weight which I'm finding difficult to lose. I feel bloated all the time and it's having an impact on my daily life. What options do I have?

Female | 42

According to your symptoms, the troublesome periods and related bloating may be the result of the fibroids that you are already aware of. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that are found in the uterus and they can be responsible for heavy bleeding and pressure on the nearby organs, resulting in weight gain and discomfort. To tackle this, you should visit a gynecologist for a check-up and discuss the treatment options including medication or surgery.

On September 7th, I had my period, and on September 20th, I engaged in intercourse. There was no ejaculation inside, and to further ensure I was protected, I took the i-pill approximately 1.5 hours after the intercourse. while going back home the pill was out of its packet for 5 mins with a normal temperature. it was in my hand in a fist. Given that I took the pill promptly and there was no ejaculation, I feel reassured about the low likelihood of pregnancy, though I’m still monitoring my menstrual cycle for any changes or delays. that’s why i need help.

Female | 19

The contraceptive pill can be taken within a few hours after intercourse to stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy. The risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is low. It is, however, better to be vigilant. You should track the menstrual cycle for any sudden changes or delays. Be aware that the I-pill may sometimes affect your cycle in minor ways. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have any worries, visit a gynecologist.

Bleeding 2 days after sex, is it periods or pregnant? Bleeding occurs for 4 days just like periods. Is there any chance to get pregnant should I take a test?

Female | Sony

Bleeding a couple of days following intercourse can stem from various causes, such as hormonal fluctuations or implantation bleeding if there’s a possibility of pregnancy. Since your bleeding mirrors the duration of a typical menstrual cycle, it may indicate a period, but it's wise to conduct a pregnancy test for peace of mind if there were any potential conception scenarios. If the bleeding persists or is accompanied by discomfort, please consult a gynecologist to ensure everything is alright.

I had sex in jan 20 and I got periods on Feb 3 and now in March I didn't got my periods still

Female | 21

Missed periods don't always mean pregnancy. Stress, weight fluctuations, or hormones out of balance could cause it too. Feeling queasy or tender breasts can indicate pregnancy though. But a pregnancy test or gynecologist visit helps figure out what's happening.

I am having issue with intercourse. When I am having this I am in a lot of pain ie burning stinging sensation where am in physical pain and crying because of how sore it is , I also have been getting itchy and very dry

Female | 21

This can result in discomfort due to pain, burning, itching, and so on during intercourse. Vaginal dryness is sometimes physical state if you are exposed to rapid hormonal changes, taking some medicine, stress, or are not adequately hydrated. To make it better, you can opt for water-based lubes, water intake, or start a conversation with your gynecologist related to the possible treatments you could undertake.

Is levenogestrel effective 3 days before expected ovulation day when taken within 24 hours of intercrural sex

Female | 25

Levonorgestrel is a form of emergency contraception that works best when taken soon after unprotected intercourse. Taking it within 24 hours can be effective in preventing pregnancy, although its performance may decrease close to the ovulation period. Symptoms after taking it may include temporary nausea, lighter menstrual flow, or fatigue. If you have any concerns about your cycle or are considering regular contraception options, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist. They can offer personalized advice tailored to your health needs and ensure you feel supported throughout this process.

I am a 17 year old teenager i got my first period when I was 12 or 13 ever since my periods have been regular but my flow is very light my LH is 11.8 and FSH is 4.89 ..

Female | 17

A light period can be normal for some people. Your LH and FSH levels are within normal ranges, and this is good. Excessive thin menstrual flow could be associated with hormonal imbalances or getting emaciated. Have a balanced diet and maintain good weight. If you are worried consult a gynecologist.

Upper lips of vagina break or torn , are not getting the correct forever which happened because of past masturbation , are they dangerous or not? But no symptoms .only black color of upper lips outer. unmarried

Female | 23

You might be dealing with some tearing in the labia minora of your vagina. This can happen due to the past activities of masturbation. It is important to look for any color or texture changes. Black color could mean some healing tissue. As long as there is no pain or discharge, it is probably not dangerous. Keeping the area clean and not giving it any more irritation should help the healing.
