You are worried about the spotting. It's important to know that spotting between periods can be caused by several things. In your situation, it may be due to the medications you are taking for your keloids and spider veins. Kenalog injections and horse chestnut may sometimes influence the menstrual cycle. However, if you still have spotting or any other issue, it is always best to contact a gynecologist.

I tested positive and took abortion pill but light bleeding is abortion successful
Female | 26
You should see a gynecologist to check on the success of the abortion. Light bleeding, on the other hand, could be a post-abortion result that can be confirmed by visiting a professional.

The first day of my last period was April 1st and my expected ovulation date was April 17th. I had sex on the 13th/14th and took plan B in the morning of the 14th; I had sex again on the 19th/20th and took plan B on the morning of the 20th and I had sex on the 28th and took the plan B immediately. I am not on any contraceptive medication and my partner pulled out before ejaculating - so he said. I washed up immediately and took the pills. My period is late now and I don’t want to be pregnant. I have taken about 6 pregnancy test and they were all negative, not even a faint line of positive which is relieve. But my period is a day late and I’m worried. I took a test this morning and it was still negative. I feel tired, bloated, and I urinate frequently. What do I do?
Female | 26
Stress can make your period late. Plan B can also make your cycle different, and make your period late. Feeling tired, bloated, and peeing a lot could be from hormone changes or UTIs. Stay calm, wait a little longer, and keep watching for signs. If you are still worried, talk to a gynecologist.

Please recommend how can I stop my periods instantly as these medicines aren't working or shall i take Pause 500mg for few more days. Please help. And is it something serious or normal in PCOS. Please help.
Female | 30
Your periods involve heavy bleeding, which can feel difficult. With PCOS, hormone issues cause unpredictable periods and heavy flows. The Pause 500mg pills you're aiming to stop the bleeding, but may need some days. In PCOS, heavy periods sometimes happen, yet if bleeding persists extensively or severe pain arises, consult your gynecologist.

Hi 16 days ago I had dark blood from my period and it lasted around 4/5 days so normal period length but it was all quite dark blood only a small amount of fresh blood. I also had no cramps and couldn’t feel my period starting which normally I can feel it’s going to start and it was 5 days early. Yesterday I had slightly dark discharge and some cramps and now I have my period actual blood and cramps but only 16 days after my last “period”
Female | 17
Your menstrual cycle goes through some changes. Dark blood can appear when your period begins. This is normal and doesn't indicate a problem. The cramps result from hormones or other causes. Monitor your periods and symptoms every month. Talk to a gynecologist if unusual bleeding or cramps continue.

Irregular periods. My perios 41day late then start 2may but 20 day my periods are light today my periods is heavy why? ialso fibroids. What can i do
Female | 42
Your condition requires medical attention. Consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation from a reputed hospital. They can assess the cause of irregular periods, potentially perform hormonal tests and ultrasound for fibroids, and recommend appropriate treatments, which may include lifestyle changes, hormonal management, or fibroid specific interventions.

I have irregular periods problem, done with the scanning yesterday, uterus is gravid I got in reports,4yrs back I got to know in scanning that I have bubbles near uterus.Want to know more about this.
Female | 23
You may have a condition called fetal myoma, the non-cancerous growth in the uterus. They can cause such symptoms as irregular periods as well as pelvic pain. These bubbles close to the uterus might be those fibroids. Treatment options comprise taking medication or performing procedures to shrink or even take away the fibroids. You must talk to a gynecologist about these findings and treatment options.

I used the pregnancy test kit and it was positive. My last periods was on 29th March and I had taken unwanted kit on 2nd may. On 4th may, I had taken two tablets of misoprostol, I got a severe pain, bleeding and vomiting. But after an hour , bleeding was in spots and cramps continued. After 8 hours, I had taken other 2 pills , bleeding almost stopped and no sign of cramps. Is the abortion done?
Female | 21
Looks like you went through a medication abortion. Common side effects include terrible pain bleeding and vomiting. You may have completed the operation if the bleeding is stopping and you no longer feel any cramps after taking the second set of pills. It is important to go back to the health facility after your abortion and get everything right.

I have protected sex. But also missed my periods. What should I do now?
Female | 21
Irregular periods create worry for those who had protected intercourse. Stress, imbalanced hormones, or specific medical conditions often cause missed cycles. Weight fluctuations, medications, and thyroid problems besides pregnancy may also stop menstruation. Monitor any symptoms accompanying irregular bleeding. If periods remain absent long-term, consulting a gynecologist allows evaluation determining the root cause. They can guide through diagnosis and recommend proper treatment options.

I am pregnant in 7 weeks. Is it fine to use cold cap to treat strong flue when I am pregnant?
Female | 33
It would be medically incorrect to give a cold cap treatment when having a strong flu during pregnancy. As a rule, one should always get a recommendation from the obstetrician or gynecologist prior to starting taking any medicines or applying any treatments.

Can I know my pregnancy just by a simple blood test?

Female | 26
As it might be that you are already pregnant. Normal intervals may also be subject to interruptions associated with stress, hormones, or weight changes. To confirm your pregnancy, I want you to meet with a gynecologist who can give you all the correct information and help you plan the course of further action.

My period date is 21-23 every month. I have been experiencing cramps since the last 2 weeks. Today i noticed dark brown color liquidy discharge which i have never experienced before.
Female | 24
Possible menstrual periods can be the cause you have of the cramps you've been feeling for the past 2 weeks. The dark brown watery discharge you noticed may represent old blood leaving your system. This happens in some cases and is usually not something to be worried about. Do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough rest, and apply a heating pad to your lower belly if your cramps bother you. If the symptoms repeat, worsen, or do not improve, visiting a gynecologist for a full evaluation is the best thing to do.

Female | 16
It's understandable to feel anxious about your menstrual cycle, especially when you're experiencing stress and uncertainty. From what you've described, it sounds like you had a period, but slightly late. Periods can vary in color and consistency, and dark brown or black blood is normal at the beginning or end of your cycle. Taking a pregnancy test two weeks after your period is generally considered accurate. Clear blue tests are reliable when used correctly, so if they show negative results, it's likely right. However, if you're still feeling anxious, you can always take another test for peace of mind. Stressing yourself isn't beneficial for your overall well-being. It's essential to find ways to manage stress and focus on self-care. Remember, irregularities in your menstrual cycle can happen for various reasons, including stress. If you're still concerned or experiencing persistent symptoms, consider reaching out to a gynecologist for further guidance and support.

i have periods on February 11 but today is march 17 my periods not come yet
Female | 21
Most folks get anxious if their period doesn't arrive on time. Numerous reasons can throw it off schedule. Anxiety, hormone shifts, sudden weight changes, or heavy workouts sometimes delay it. Unprotected sex raises pregnancy concerns. Watch for tender breasts, bloating, and emotional ups-and-downs too. Stay relaxed; periods may run late. But if it stays missing after several weeks, consulting a gynecologist provides reassurance.

Improper periods, pimples due to periods, mood swings
Female | 21
These are common symptoms experienced by some women during their menstrual cycle. Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation can lead to irregular periods, skin breakouts, and changes in mood and emotions. Irregular periods are also a cause of pcos. Get a proper evaluation from a gynecologist.

My last period at Apr 8 but I still didn't get date but today I have taken pregnancy test..it's positive but I don't have any symptoms...is it safe pregnancy or not
Female | 26
A positive pregnancy test indicates that you are pregnant. Not everyone experiences the same pregnancy symptoms, and some people might not have noticeable symptoms early on. So lack of symptoms doesn't necessarily mean an unsafe pregnancy, you need to consult a gynecologist for confirmation

I did abortion 3days i was on first trimester back and i only out clots in 2 hours and i drink anti inflammatory ibrufen pills and my bleeding stops immediately until today n still have mild morning sickness, is the abortion complete
Female | 32
A miscarriage is a natural ending of a pregnancy, which is what you had. A miscarriage can be indicated by passing clots and the bleeding ceasing after taking ibuprofen. Your bleeding stopping might mean the miscarriage is complete. However, it is still necessary to consult a gynecologist to get a confirmation. Nausea and vomiting in the morning can continue after a miscarriage.
