Why am I experiencing prolonged bleeding on birth control?
I am a 22 year old female, I started taking my birth control again and have been for a week now. I started my period after starting my birth control again. However, my period or whatever is happening has been occuring for almost 10 days now. The bleeding is very light with just two days of it being a medium flow. My breasts aren't tender, my acne is bad, my hair is a bit oily, I do feel gassy, my back hurts a bit and I feel mildly nauseous here and there.

It sounds more like your body is only getting used to birth control. It is quite common to have irregular bleeding when you start using birth control. Light bleeding, acne, oily hair, gas, back pain, and nausea are also possible side effects of the hormones in birth control. Allow some time to ensure the body gets used to the medicine. And if these symptoms persist or become stronger, please get in touch with your gynecologist for advice.

I m unmarried but in my reports I have pid problem how it is possible
Female | 22
PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

My last period.was on 17.September I had a positive pregnancy test but my ultrasound shows.the.fetus.is.4.weeks.old,it should've.been 7.weeks.by now, Why is.the.baby not growing properly
Female | 24
I would recommend that you see an obstetrician right away. Slow fetal growth may signal a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Tests and ultrasounds can be run by an obstetrician in order to find the core of this problem. Thus, it is crucial to seek help from an expert obstetrician who can provide the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then
Female | 21
Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Will I get pregnant even after getting contraceptive pill right after sex and ejaculation doesn't happen inside the vagina? I'm on my 6th day after periods end
Female | 24
When the contraceptive pill is taken correctly its effective in preventing pregnancy.. but there is still a small chance of pregnancy even if ejaculation doesn't occur inside the vagina. Take a test to confirm

I am 22 years old, I have been taking tretiva 10 for approx 1 month My concern is does it affect the period blood flow because there is very minor to no flow which is very unusual as I face heavy flow.
Female | 22
Tretiva 10 may cause a decrease or an irregularity in periods sometimes. It is a frequent side effect that usually happens among women. However, if you are concerned, you should consult a gynecologist. They may recommend either changing the dose or switching to a different medicine if necessary.

Good afternoon My period is late and I had sex long time ago but I have not any symptoms of pregnancy and my cycle is irregular what do I except
Female | 19
If you've had unprotected intercourse in the past and your cycle is not regular, it may be difficult to know when to expect your period. The irregularity of cycles may be due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or weight changes. You may experience some new symptoms, but if you do, don't panic. Seek out a gynecologist if you have questions, they can help you out.

Ma'am, I am suffering from endometriosis/chocolate cyst. I have been on Dienogest 2mg medicine for more than a month but still bleeding for 15 days straight. Neither heavy bleeding nor spotting, its something in between. Is there any permanent cure for chocolate cyst or pregnancy is the only solution? I am unmarried. Kindly enlighten me if there is any permanent solution for the same.
Female | 28
Yes with Dienogest it can take several months to be effective. If bleeding continues, speak with your doctor who may perform additional tests or adjust your medications. Doctors can recommend surgery in severe cases or when other treatments have not been effective. Talk to your gynecologist beacuse pregnancy is not a permanent solution for endometriosis or chocolate cysts.

Hello I have a doubt , I had unprotected sex with my partner on my ovulation day but he didn't ejaculated inside me ... we had almost 3 to 4 rounds of sex.... can I take ipill ? Will it work?? How many percent of chances are there to get pregnant??
Female | 23
Taking the emergency contraceptive pill (iPill) after unprotected sex can lower the probability of getting pregnant. The pill works by stopping ovulation or delaying it and thus, makes it difficult for the sperm to fertilize the egg. Your likelihood of pregnancy is a result of several factors, such as ovulation and how well the pill works. If you're anxious, it's much better to take the iPill within 72 hours after unprotected sex. If you are trying to understand any of the symptoms like nausea, headache, or your menstrual cycle has gone wrong, then contact a gynecologist.

i am a 20 year old female and i took a contraceptive pill two weeks ago and i have been bleeding after a week of taking the pill,and it hasn’t stopped
Female | 20
It seems that the birth control pill (or POP) could be the reason your bleeding has lasted longer than usual. When you first start taking the pill, your body may need some time to adjust, which can cause irregular bleeding. This can also be triggered by hormonal changes. The best approach is to consult with a gynecologist and discuss other birth control options that might suit you better.

I m pragnent last 11 week but today normal bleeding like 2-3 blood drop it any risk or normal
Female | 23
Blood drops during early pregnancy can be scary, but it's common. Implantation of the embryo in the uterus may cause it. A small amount of blood with no severe pain is usually not a concern. However, it's important to inform your gynecologist to be safe.

I am 18 year old and i m suffer From vaginal itching inside after pee from 4-5 days and i had a UTI 2 months ago
Female | 18
Itchy vaginas after urinating might mean you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) again since you’ve had one before. UTIs may sometimes irritate. Ensure you drink enough water, avoid irritants such as fragranced soaps, and wear cotton panties. If the itchiness continues, it’s probably wise to see a gynecologist.

I’m having a hestoscopy d and c done next week. I wanted to know if if usually allow to go ahead with the procedure if I have a chipped tooth/ broken tooth?
Female | 39
A chipped or cracked tooth needs attention before hysteroscopy D&C. Inform your doctor if you notice any sharp edges or discomfort. They may suggest fixing it before to avoid complications during the procedure. Having a smooth, pain-free mouth helps ensure a smoother process.

You had vomiting, diarrhea, and an early period arrival. These indicate hormonal shifts triggering bodily reactions like stomach troubles. Stay hydrated. Monitor symptoms carefully. If persisting, consult a gynecologist about such matters.

I'm facing vaginal inflammation after peeing I'm 25 years old how can i cure it
Female | 25
The inflammation in your vaginal area after peeing has some possible reasons. A yeast infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) could cause it. If you feel a burning sensation when peeing or have unusual discharge, it may be a UTI. Water and cranberry juice might help with UTIs. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can treat yeast infections. Wear cotton underwear and avoid perfumed products for good hygiene. See a gynecologist if symptoms persist or worsen.

Is mifestad 10 effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? It's a pill made from Vietnam.
Female | 23
As for Mifestad 10, it is not an emergency birth control pill. Emergency contraceptive pills can either contain levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate. If you have had unprotected sex, it's best to use a recognized emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. Remember the greater the time between unprotected intercourse and the taking of emergency contraception, the less effective it is.

Female | TWENTY SEVEN
After stopping birth control, your menstruation may not return immediately. Similarly, your cycle can be affected by the pregnacare pills. If the test is negative and you do not get your period, keep an eye on any symptoms while seeking further advice from a gynecologist.

Iam two and half months pregnant and now I am experiencing little spotting and bleeding
Female | 30
It's normal for pregnant women to sometimes experience light spotting or bleeding early on. This can be caused by hormonal changes or when the embryo implants in the uterus. However, it's always important to inform your gynecologist about any bleeding during pregnancy. They will check to ensure everything is fine.

Generally speaking, the fourth and fifth days before your period kicks in are believed to be a low-risk period for conception. But it is still feasible to get pregnant at that time, may be especially if you have irregular period cycle. If you have any worries relating to reproductive health or experience unusual symptoms, it is important to consult with gynecologist that can give you specific recommendations and advice referring to your particular situation.

I’m having lower abdominal pain sometimes, and I’m having foul smell discharge from my vagina
Female | 27
You mentioned troubles with stomach cramps and gross discharge coming from down there. These clues might mean you have bacterial vaginosis. That's an infection that happens because not enough good bacteria are hanging out in your vagina. Your gynecologist can give you antibiotics to make it go away after a quick check-up.
