Understanding Ovarian Cysts: PCOS Bloodwork Results Analysis
I am a 23 year old female struggling with irregular periods for the last 4 years. I finally recently started getting testting done. An ultrasound revealed several cysts on both ovaries. I had blood work done to check for PCOS. My OB/GYN is on night shift and can't see me. My testosterone was normal. SHBG was high. DHEA Sulfate was low. Trying to find out what these results mean.

Answered on 12th Sept '24
Irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth: these are common symptoms of PCOS. High SHBG and low DHEA sulfate levels signal PCOS. Don't worry - treatments exist to help. Birth control pills can manage symptoms, as can lifestyle changes involving diet and exercise. However, see your gynecologist for a full diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They'll provide guidance and support. With proper care, PCOS is manageable.

I am 18 and I’m having and normal more discharge. I have never had any sexual activities.
Female | 18
During your time, higher discharge is natural, even if you don't have any sexual activity. The discharge has two main types, the one that is clear and the one that is white and sometimes a little bit sticky. This is the way your body is preparing for periods. If the discharge is yellow, green, or has a bad smell, then you probably have an infection. Be sure to wash and wear the underwear made from light cotton. If you have worries, you should talk to a gynecologist.

I have my regular periods and after 48 days i took pregnancy test it shows slight second line... And now iam getting slight bleeding in black color. May i know the reason
Female | 26
A faint line on the pregnancy test can indicate an early pregnancy. The black of a line you are managing could be implantation bleeding when a fertilized egg sticks to the uterus. It is a common thing in the first three months of pregnancy and it's often nothing to worry about. Watch out for it and be gentle with yourself.

My period has gone from 6 days to 2 or 3 days for the past 2 months. I am 18 years old, i take birth control for hormonal reasons, Wellbutrin (150mg) for depression, Vyvanse (60mg) for ADHD and Buspirone (15mg) for anxiety. I have a medical history of endometriosis, tension headaches, and anemia. I want to know why my periods are shorter than usual.

Changes in the duration of your menstrual period can be affected by medications, hormonal imbalances, and medical conditions. Consult a gynecologist to evaluate your specific situation and determine the cause of your shorter duration of periods.

I experienced blood spot in my panty after 2 weeks of periods. What is the reason behind it?
Female | 29
Finding blood spots in your underwear after your period is usually not a big deal. It often happens due to hormonal shifts or irregular shedding of the uterine lining. Lifestyle changes and stress can also contribute to this. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and if you have any concerns, let your gynecologist know.

i did a pregnancy test today’s morning T line is darker than the C line. What will it be?
Female | 26
If the T line (test) looks darker than the C line (control), it often signals pregnancy. Early signs can be fatigue, nausea, or breast tenderness. This happens when hCG hormone levels rise. Seeing a positive result plus symptoms means visiting a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy makes sense.

I am a 15 yr old female who has had some light bleeding in between periods and for the past two weeks I’ve been having at least some bleeding every day (not rlly any cramps tho). I got my period about two years ago so it may still be adjusting or it may be stress. Any ideas? I don’t rlly want to go to the doctor because I don’t wanna concern my family.
Female | 15
You seem to be going through some interval problems with your periods, which can be worrying. This may happen because your body has not yet fully adjusted to a regular period. Irregular bleeding can also be caused by stress. Ensure to look after yourself by nourishing your body, being active, and reducing stress. If the bleeding is still there or increases, do not be reluctant to talk to a gynecologist, to get some advice.

Female | 21
HPV type 16 can cause cervical cancer, but having warts and brown discharge doesn’t mean cancer is present. The brown discharge might be a sign of infection. Your girlfriend needs to see a gynecologist. The doctor can prescribe any necessary medication.

Can I get pregnant after having unprotected sex on the 9th day after taking a plan b pill named postinor2 and bleeding for 7 days?
Female | 16
Asking about Plan B is wise. After taking it, changes in your cycle like spotting are common. However, this doesn't rule out pregnancy from unprotected sex before. To know for certain, take a test or see your gynecologist. Bleeding can be misleading, so don't assume you're safe.

I'm 22 year old, Female. 2 days back had my first sex with the use of condom and also I have used contraceptive pill and now I'm seeing a white skin appeard near my vaginal opening and also bleeds sometimes
Female | 22
You might have a cut near your vaginal opening. It occurs fairly often after first sex, especially in your maiden experience. This bleeding more than likely is because the wound is healing. It's critical to keep the region clean and abstain from sex until it's completely healed. You can also try a warm compress to alleviate discomfort. Furthermore, if the bleeding does not stop or worsens, visit a gynecologist and get an analysis.

I have missed my periods for three months
Female | 17
Missing periods for 3 months isn't normal. Stress causes irregular cycles. Big weight gain or loss disrupts hormones. Conditions like PCOS prevent normal ovulation. You might feel tired, bloated, moody. If issues continue, see a gynecologist for medical guidance.
