I am a 22 year old female. I am pregnant with my first baby. I'm in my first trimester, week 5 and 1 day. I just want to know is cramping normal?
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Cramps in early pregnancy are usual, specifically during the initial trimester. Major bodily shifts occur, making space for the baby, causing mild crampiness. You may also experience bloating or slight spotting. Stay hydrated and restful. However, if severe cramps or heavy bleeding arise, consult your gynecologist.

Please help me for irregular periods
Female | 21
Irregular periods mean that the time between your periods or the amount of blood you menstruate varies each month. This could be due to hormonal changes, stress, weight fluctuations, or certain medical conditions. Don't worry! Good nutrition, regular exercise, and effective stress management can help. If you're concerned, visit a gynecologist for a check-up.

I am 16 year old girl. My name is Gul Jain. I am having pain in my breast and it has spread from breast to shoulder, armpit, neck and I am having shortness of breathing and I have consulted an endocrine he gave me paracetamol, a pain relief gel and tamoxifen 10 mg table, But did not get any relief and my breast is also heavy.
Female | 16
• Breast pain can be associated with anything from Fibrocystic breast changes, menstruation related cyclic pain, pregnancy, breastfeeding, side effects of certain medications, infection such as mastitis to inflammatory breast cancer.
• Heaviness of breast is because of various reasons such as large breasts, breast cysts, mastitis, pain originating from chest wall or pectoral muscles but not related to breasts and in rare cases associated with Breast cancer.
Further investigation is required in your case so as to confirm the cause behind the breast pain which include:
Mammogram - Mammogram may assist you in diagnosis where in case the doctor feels a breast lump or unusual thickening or detects a focused area of pain your breast tissue, an x-ray of breast will help in evaluating the area of concern.
Breast examination - In which health care provider will examine your breasts as well as the lymph nodes in your lower neck and underarm for changes and will most likely listen to your heart and lungs and examine your chest and belly to see whether the discomfort is caused by another ailment. If your medical history, breast exam, and physical exam find nothing out of the ordinary, you may not require any extra testing.
Ultrasound - An ultrasound exam, which employs sound waves to create pictures of your breasts, is frequently performed in conjunction with a mammogram. Even if the mammography seems normal, you may require an ultrasound to check a specific location of discomfort.
Biopsy of the breast - Suspicious breast lumps, thickening regions, or unusual areas observed during imaging scans may require a biopsy before your doctor can establish a diagnosis. During a biopsy, your doctor collects a tiny sample of breast tissue from the affected region and sends it to a lab for investigation.
• Tamoxifen is usually prescribed in treatment of patients who have cancerous growth in the breast.
• Breast tenderness can be managed with application of warm or cold compresses, occasional use of pain killers, low fat and high complex carbohydrate involved diet and limiting the consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
Consult a Gynecologist for further investigations and treatment.

I want to reach out to gynaecologist , i have a female friend , she didnt had periods for 3 months and after that yesterday and today she got lump or clot like something in her periods , she got it once tomorrow and today morning can you refer to image what is that and what we need to do ,
Female | 23
It is vital that your friend see a gynaecologist immediately. A knot or clot could be a symptom of a major problem like uterine fibroids or endometriosis. Gynaecologists can do proper diagnosis and treatment of such conditions. I would suggest seeing a gynaecologist who has a specialty in reproductive health and fertility.

What can I use to stop the bleeding because I am on a depo birth control injection what pill can I use just to be safe
Female | 19
If you see any blood while taking the Depo birth control shot it is likely that you will experience abnormal bleeding in the first months. If the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, you will be able to get over-the-counter drugs e.g. ibuprofen to make the bleeding less. It is better to drink a lot of water and take a good rest. If nothing helps, or you get worse, discuss the situation with your gynecologist for appropriate advice.

Me and my wife trying to have a baby. Fertility pills. Ovulation. At home insemination
Female | 27
Pills might help a woman release an egg from the ovary. This is called ovulation. An egg and sperm can make a pregnancy. At-home insemination puts sperm in the vagina to meet the egg. Tracking ovulation is important. Insemination should happen at the right time. If no pregnancy happens talk to an infertility specialist for help.

Hi, I dignosed with PCOS, I was prescribed with Krimson 35 tablets, Since I started taking the medicine I got light periods in 21 days and next periods in 14 days. It's been 14 days now since I'm spotting. When I consulted my doctor he said it's normal to have such spotting it will disappear soon. I'm loosing my patience. What should I do? Should I stop taking the medicine?
Female | 29
Spotting can be a result of your body getting used to the medication. You should under no circumstances stop taking the tablets your doctor has prescribed to you. The spotting will gradually go away by itself in a little while. If it worsens or doesn't improve, contact your gynecologist for more help.

I have heavy menstrual bleeding fatigue not able eat move stand legs pain because of loss of blood
Female | 20
Heavy menstrual bleeding and fatigue may indicate anemia. Anemia causes weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and headache. Iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and red meat can help. See a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. There are medications and surgeries available to treat heavy bleeding. Ignoring the symptoms can lead to more severe complications.

Female | 22
Bleeding after having sex 12 days after your period could be due to many different reasons. If your period comes too late, it is easy because of pregnancy, but you have to check. You can call for a pregnancy test at the clinic if you don't take a test kit with you. To solve the menstrual issues, find ways to minimize the stress, eat right, and set the body clock in motion. You should see a gynecologist for advice.

Is it safe to have sex two days after period ended and after sex within one hour I took I pill am i safe from pregnancy and actually my period started on saturday night and ended on Tuesday so on Friday we had sex and after one hour I took I pill am i safe from pregnancy
Female | 28
Sometimes, someone may get pregnant despite having sex two days after their period ends because sperm can populate the woman's body for up to 5 days. That was an ideal way of decreasing the risk of pregnancy to take an emergency contraceptive pill, however, they are not fully efficient in the prevention of pregnancy. It is important to remember that emergency contraceptive pills are not a replacement for your regular contraceptive method. If you are concerned about pregnancy, then a gynecologist can provide you with general information and check if you need a more suited contraceptive means.

Female | 16
Hormonal changes that occur as a side effect of Plan B. The brown color is because the blood that came out is old. If the discharge continues for more than 2 weeks or you experience severe pain or fever, then please see a gynecologist for advice on what steps to take.

Misoprostol and Mifepristone remain detectable via bloodwork for days after use. The test could show traces up to seven days post-medication. Expect nausea, cramping, bleeding – typical effects.

I am a 24 year old female. I was on depo for 2 years. Last shot expired in April. I had unprotected sex in August, less than a week after my period. Took a morning after pill next morning. One week later i had my period again which lasted 3 days with lots of cramping. Three days after i started feeling nauseated and having an upset stomach. Could i be pregnant
Female | 24
Based on what you've told me, the chances of you being pregnant are slim. The emergency contraceptive pill is effective if taken shortly after unprotected sex. Women can experience nausea and abdominal discomfort as side effects of the pill, which do not necessarily imply that they are pregnant.

My periods bleeding has reduced in last 3 months. Usually on 2nd day i have heavy bleeding but now it's less bleeding. Why? Also whenever I have sex with my partner, I dry mid sex and unable to finish when he does. Why? Could it be because I'm obese?
Female | 31
Reduced menstrual bleeding and vaginal dryness during sex can have several causes, including hormonal changes, stress, or weight-related factors. It's important to consult a gynecologist to understand the specific reasons behind these changes and receive appropriate treatment. They can provide personalized advice and help manage your symptoms effectively.

Female | 18
You might be experiencing painful periods, also called dysmenorrhea. The cramps happen because your uterus is contracting to shed its lining. It’s common to feel pain, nausea, chills, and even diarrhea during this time. To ease the discomfort, you can try using a heating pad on your lower belly, taking ibuprofen, which you can buy over the counter, or talking to a gynecologist about other treatments. These cramps often get better as you get older, but if they continue, a doctor can help you find the best solution.

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.

Can you tell me I am 18 years old never had sex and my mensuration is not proper last time it was normal this time the blood is not coming out when I wipe it there is brownish red jelly blood but not on my napkin
Female | 18
The sight of brownish-red jelly-like discharge instead of the usual menstrual flow can be scary. It may be through hormonal changes or stressful times that are common in young girls. If you have not been sexually active then getting pregnant is unlikely. Make sure to visit a gynecologist to discuss these treatment options and all of the ways to manage these symptoms.

Mastrubate effect permanent .specially girls mastrubate only one year 5 month on labia upper lips of vagina not vagina use fingering And it's been a 2 years since I left .so mastrubate effect gone and body naturally repair ??? So after marriage cannot create problems during sex due to past mastrubate ???only mastrubate on labia upper lips not vagina?? If masturbation affects the hormones, do the hormones get balanced after quitting it? And body repair without medicine within year???and break labia due to past mastrubate without symptoms like pain bleeding etc create problem and pain during sex
Female | 22
Even a year and a half of practicing masturbation on the labia (outer lips) without entering the vagina, will generally not cause any long-term health issues. Your body can heal independently, and hormones usually return to normal after quitting. It seems that if there are no symptoms like pain or bleeding then, it's not likely to cause any problems in the future. If the problem persists, visit a gynecologist.
