Why Do I Experience Itching After Sex?
I am a young woman and I have found that for about 4 days after I have sex I have an itch within my private area that disrupts my sleep and day to day life. What can I do?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 12th June '24
You might have a yeast infection. This can happen to women after having sex because of changes in the pH balance of the vagina. Itching and discomfort are common symptoms. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be used to help relieve the itch or you could ask your pharmacist for advice on this. Keep the area clean and dry, wear cotton panties, and avoid scented products. You should see a gynecologist for further assessment and treatment.

Female | 19
If you miss your period and you suffer from abdominal pain, it would be wise to see a doctor. These symptoms might be caused by some other conditions like ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cyst. It is strongly advised to consult a gynecologist or obstetrician for examination and treatment.

My wife took a unwanted x 5 pills one on empty stomach and 4 as days goes on as she missed her periods this month , it has been 48 hrs still there is no symptom of bleeding, do we take any other medications or should we wait to clear
Female | 29
It's important to understand that the tablets your spouse took can delay her menstrual cycle. In some cases, bleeding may not start right away. It’s normal to wait about a week for bleeding to begin. If there are no signs after this time, only then should you consider other medication or consult a gynecologist.

I had protected sex and my period is delayed and later seeing light bleeding
Female | 17
There can be several factors if you are experiencing a delayed period followed by light bleeding like stress, hormonal changes, contraceptive use, and the possibility of pregnancy. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is entirely foolproof. If you are concerned about pregnancy confirm by taking a home pregnancy test.

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.

The symptoms that you have described may be due to pregnancy, but one should get a professional diagnosis and treatment from a specialist. Do not try to do anything by yourself as this may be potentially fatal. Please consult your gynecologist immediately.

In case you had sex and did not use any of contraceptives and you missed your period, there is a chance that you might be pregnant. But, it is advisable that a gynecologist examines for a correct diagnosis.

I am 32 years married woman and this time I missed my period. I have cramps in back but period still missing. I haven't done unprotected intercourse. So please suggest me medicine which can induce my period. I have pooja at my home that's why I am little worried. NOTE- I am a lactating mother so suggest me according to that.
Female | 32
The omission of a period can be a source of anxiety. Even if you haven't had unprotected sex, other factors like stress, hormonal changes, or some medications may cause a missed period. The cramps in your back may be the result of your menstrual cycle. Don't rely on medicine, focus on calming down, eating healthy, and drinking enough fluids. If your period continues to be late, you may want to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Female | 16
Delays can occur due to various factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, significant weight changes, or underlying health conditions. Common symptoms accompanying this might include breast tenderness or mood swings. If your flow does not begin soon, consider taking a pregnancy test if applicable. If the absence continues or you notice other unusual symptoms, it's wise to consult a gynecologist. They can provide personalized insights and ensure everything is okay.

I took norethisterone to stop period. However my period came and was heavy on 3rd and 4th day. Today I am on 7th day and when I insert tissue in my vagina I still bleed. What can be happening.
Female | 29
The possibility might be that the norethisterone simply has not worked in this case or there is a certain medical condition that leads to the heavy bleeding. Talk to your gynecologist to seek a comprehensive examination

I am a 36 year old female, I had a tubal ligation 9 years ago. My periods have come as per normal since than. However my period have not come for the last 3 months. Please advise if this due to my tubal ligation?
Female | 36
It is unusual for a tubal ligation to directly result in a change of your menstrual cycle. Several things can cause missed periods including stress, hormonal imbalances, or pregnancy. Go see a gynecologist for a check-up so that they can tell you what has brought about these changes in your body.

Hi there, I'm a 27 year old woman, and I've been experiencing an unusual change in my menstrual cycle recently. Instead of the usual one period per month, I've been having 3 periods in a month. It's been a bit concerning, and I was wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar or if there's any insight into what might be causing this. I'm hoping to find some advice or information on how to address this issue.
Female | 27
Frequent periods can be due to various factors like hormonal changes, stress, or certain health conditions. Treatments depend on the cause and may include hormonal birth control or hormone-regulating medication. Please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Female | 49
You've been struggling for a while now with ongoing intense pain at the spot of your uterus removal surgery. You just have been cleared after the CT scan to do it but more likely the adhesive band called an adhesive" might be the reason the pain is raised. Adhesions can cause some discomfort. Visit a gynecologist. They would check your health and propose the most efficient treatment options.

I have a vaginal itching which is minor and have contracted with this earlier too what medicine and dose shall be taken it's a bacterial infection and anti fungal medicine was prescribed earlier
Female | Serah
You might have a bacterial infection causing vaginal itchiness. Bacteria can make things itchy, and red, and lead to strange discharge. Don't use anti-fungal meds, since they won't help bacterial infections. A gynecologist may prescribe antibiotics to clear it up. Take all the antibiotics, even if you feel better before finishing them. If symptoms persist or worsen, talk to your doctor about adjusting your treatment.

Female | 27 years
Implantation bleeding occurs when a fertilized egg adheres to your uterine lining. It doesn't signify pregnancy complications usually. Light spotting or bleeding can happen. If concerned or experiencing other symptoms, consulting a gynecologist is advisable for reassurance.

Female | 25
The dark discharge of blood during pregnancy can indicate a variety of things. For instance, it might be implantation bleeding, pregnancy "normal" changes in the cervix, or very rarely, a concern. To ease your worries and make sure everything is okay, reach out to your gynecologist. They will be there to assist you and to give you the best tips for your situation.

Skipping periods of three months are quite normal, called "amenorrhea." Stress, weight fluctuations, hormones, and medical issues cause it. Reduce stress. Eat balanced meals. Exercise regularly. If the condition persists, consult a gynecologist.

A breast cyst is usually not a sign of breast cancer. If your recent tests have confirmed the presence of a cyst, your doctor may recommend additional imaging tests such as a mammogram or ultrasound to evaluate the cyst and determine what is causing the pain.

I am having periods more then 7 days so how can I Stop them and finish soon.
Female | 21
Experiencing heavy bleeding for over seven days might be difficult, yet, we can aid in the situation. This could occur as a result of hormonal imbalances or some medical conditions like fibroids or polyps. Possibly consider using birth control pills or other medications to help regulate your periods. Eating a balanced diet and drinking enough water are also important. If it's a prolonged condition, see a gynecologist who will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.
