Prolonged Postpartum Bleeding After Sex: Normal?

I am still flowing heavily for 3 months after giving birth. Is it normal? Every time I have sex the flow is heavier and worse

Has your period lasted beyond 3 months after childbirth? That's unusual and could signal postpartum hemorrhage, which involves heavy bleeding and spotting after intimacy. It might be due to a retained placenta or infection. Please visit a gynecologist for proper assessment and care.

Im 34 weeks pregnant and im coming out yellowish and green discharge

Female | 23

I recommend that you contact your gynecologist or obstetrician right away. This could be a sign of infection that left untreated will harm both you and the baby. Your doctor will give a diagnosis and treatment options for that condition.

I began taking the contraceptive pill Hana on 8th June before my period has started and wanted to know how long before I am protected

Female | 31

When you start taking the contraceptive pill, there’s something you should know: it won’t protect you right away. It takes about seven days to start working. While you’re waiting for it to kick in, make sure to use an extra form of protection such as condoms so that pregnancy doesn’t occur. Some people may get mild side effects like headaches or feeling sick when they first try this type of birth control but these usually go away with time if taken properly.

The first day of my last period was 22nd December 2024, and it lasted 4 days. I was supposed to start my next period on 22nd January, 2025. However, I have not had it till today (31st Jan, 2025). I had protected sex on 12th January, in which condoms were used and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. What are the chances I might be pregnant? Should I take a test? Am I just late? History of medical conditions: I have had irregular periods, i.e., a few days late in the past, and my cycles sometimes extended to 39 days. However, this is the longest cycle, and my last two periods have been shorter than usual ( 4 days instead of my usual 5 days). I had intercourse on 12th January with a barrier (condoms) and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. Previous history of current medical complaint: My periods used to be irregular, I have recently gained weight, and I suffer from facial hair growth, etc. I also have taken Plan B pills on 2 separate occasions in the last year. My longest cycle was 39 days, and periods came a couple days after the predicted date. However, this is the longest delay I've experienced in the past. Current medication details: None History of medication for the same complaint: None lab tests done: None Height, Weight Height Weight 5' 3" (160.02 cm) 167 lbs (75.75 kg)
