You probably have menorrhagia, which means heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, a medical condition. It could happen for a variety of reasons, these include hormonal imbalances of the body, the presence of uterine fibroids, or even some medications. Symptoms involve heavy bleeding for more than a week, passing clots of blood, and feeling tired from blood loss. To deal with this, you need to drink plenty of watery liquids, lie down, and consume iron-rich foods to prevent anemia. If this persists, see a gynecologist to find out the probable causes and solutions.

Here’s a draft for your query: In November, I experienced an episode of oral herpes. On December 4, I developed vaginal itching, a thick white discharge, and sores resembling vestibular papillomatosis. I consulted a doctor who diagnosed me with a yeast infection. After taking the prescribed treatment, my symptoms improved. However, I started experiencing vaginal burning and frequent urination. A urine test was conducted, but the results came back negative. I then consulted a gynecologist, who advised me to take a herpes test on December 28. The test results showed HSV IgG positive and IgM negative. Despite treatment, I still have sores that appear pearly, along with a burning sensation. Do I have HSV-2?
Female | 31
Your positive IgG test for herpes, suggests an encounter with the virus in the past, often related to HSV-2, which can pathogenize genitals. The symptoms you’re dealing with, like sores and burning sensations, could come from this infection or some other illness. You should talk to a gynecologist, who may have custom suggestions and point you toward prodrug therapy. Readings and more examinations could offer a better view of your case.

Haii I need to message directly to gynaecologist can you share the number
Female | 29
I sense you want to talk to a gynecologist directly. Unfortunately, I am unable to reveal personal contact information, however, it is a must to listen to all your issues. The most frequent warning signs that may require you to have a checkup include irregular periods, unusual pain, or changes in the appearance of the secretions.

I am 25 years old Female having lower abdominal pain and cramps
Female | 25
If you’re having your period, the pain might be related to that. Try drinking something warm like tea or coffee (without too much caffeine), using a hot water bottle on your tummy, or taking some over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen – these can all help make things more bearable until it stops hurting so much each month. However, if it becomes too severe or goes on for ages, seek consultation from a gynecologist.

Are birth control pills are safe. When to take birth control pills before sex or after sex? How much days should we take the pills? Any major side effects?
Female | 23
Taking birth control pills as directed, they are relatively safe. It is necessary to do this regularly every day to finish the treatment on time. These side effects are not far from the reach of these effective drugs. I suggest every woman who is considering the use of birth control pills first consult with their gynecologist.

10 day period miss hay.praganews kid say test keya 1 dark line 1light line, may nahi samja mara pregnancy hay ki nahi?plz help ?
Female | 29
In this case it can be confusing to interpret the results. In most pregnancy tests, if two lines appear, regardless of their darkness, usually indicates a positive result, which means you may be pregnant. To be absolutely sure about your pregnancy status, it's best to repeat the test. Also, blood tests are usually more accurate than urine tests and can confirm pregnancy with greater certainty.

Hello I'm am 15 and I don't have puberty yet , will I be able to make kids ??
Male | 15
Puberty can start at different ages for different people and there is a wide range of what is considered normal.
The ability to have children (reproductive maturity) usually occurs after the completion of puberty when the reproductive organs, such as the ovaries and testes, have fully developed. For most individuals, this occurs in their late teens or early twenties. However, it's important to remember that everyone's development timeline is different.

I missed my periods. When should I take pregnancy test
Female | 21
It is advisable to take a pregnancy test in 1 week after missed periods. If the test turns out negative and you still have not got your periods, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist to exclude other medical reasons.

My wife is 5 weeks pregnant and today she had a brown discharge. just asking if something we should worry about
Female | 24
It is mainly an everyday thing for certain women to have brown discharge at the beginning of pregnancy. This could be a result of implantation bleeding or old blood coming out. If it is not linked with intense pain or heavy blood loss, mostly it is not likely to be that serious. However, it is always better to consult a gynecologist for proper guidance.

Female | 24
Your body has gone through some changes, and you are not happy about it. The missed period, the faint lines on the pregnancy test, the pain located below your navel, and the discomfort during sex may be due to different reasons. Don't forget to think about the signs of stress, hormonal imbalances, or infections that can lead to such symptoms. To get a proper view of the situation, you should see a gynecologist who can give you a customized solution and the right medicine.

My friend and her boyfriend had foreplay and he ejected and sperms came out. After that he did the fingering with sperms on it. And that is her ovulation day. Is there any chance to get pregnency.
Female | 27
Yes, there is a possibility of pregnancy in that situation since sperms can survive for a short period outside the body. So contact a gynecologist to confirm or take a home pregnancy test.

Is getting periods in 20 days is good or bad
Female | 40
Having a menstrual cycle every 20 days can vary based on individual health factors. Normal cycles generally range from 21 to 35 days. Shorter intervals may indicate hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying health conditions. It's essential to monitor any accompanying symptoms like heavy bleeding or severe pain. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and ensuring proper nutrition can help regulate your cycle. However, if this pattern continues or concerns arise, please consult a gynecologist. They can provide personalized insights and support to ensure your well-being.

Iam 35 years old female n I was wondering how did I get Cervical cancer
Female | 35
The problem of cervical cancer is caused when the cells in the cervix get as a matter of fact, out of hand. The primary connection is through the HPV virus, which is transmitted during sexual activities. Some non-specific symptoms may also be there including the following: bleeding from the unusual site the woman has never experienced before, pain during sex, and pelvic pain. The use of Pap smears and HPV vaccines is one of the ways to minimize the risk of cervical cancer. This may happen to the p. by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

I’m currently experiencing lower abdominal pain and it’s been a week, started from severe sharp pain to mild and suddenly got my period but still in pain.
Female | 22
A lot of things can cause lower belly hurts, including periods. If it’s very bad at first then improves, that could just be your cycle. You might still feel aching while menstruating though. This comes with cramps often. Painkillers and a hot water bottle or pad on the tummy can help. Drink fluids and get some sleep too. In case this pain doesn’t stop or becomes severe, talking to a gynecologist would be a good step.

After 12 days of intercourse I have a heavy periods like normal... Any chances of pregnancy?
Female | 17
Bleeding like this could be a sign of a problem or could happen at the beginning of the pregnancy. We can confirm heavy periods are the result of various things, such as hormonal changes or specific diseases. To be certain you're pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test. If you have any menstrual problems, see a gynecologist for a check-up as early as possible.

In my previous periods date is April 25th .I have doing unprotected sex in May 19th .some issue? Any chance for pregnancy?
Female | 25
I understand that you are concerned that you could be pregnant after unprotected sex on May 19 following your period on April 25. Let me tell you this: yes, you can get pregnant as the sperm can stay alive in a woman’s body for several days. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period, have nausea, or feel tenderness in your breasts.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant with twins. My stomach become more hard suddenly
Female | 25
Please see your Obstetrician as soon as possible. The toughening of the stomach during pregnancy can be a symptom of Braxton Hicks contractions, but they do no harm and are normal. However, it can be a signal of early labor and preterm birth along with severe pain, pain, bleeding, and discharge.

Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?
Female | 29
It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.
