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

Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 12th Sept '24
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.

I am taking krimson 35 everyday how can i have my periods ?
Female | 27
Taking Krimson 35 doesn't mean you can't have periods. It helps with hormone issues, but you can trigger a period by stopping the pill for around 7 days. Your body adjusts to the hormone change, so light bleeding is normal. However, if bleeding seems heavy or unusual, check with your gynecologist. Krimson 35 allows control over your cycle, but concerns should always be addressed promptly.

Periods problem last week my periods very low flow but this week heavier
Female | 30
It’s normal for your period to be a little different from week to week. If you had a lighter flow last time and now it’s heavier than usual, this is no big deal. The change can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, diet, or even just doing something different with your day. Make sure that you are taking care of yourself by eating right, staying active, and managing any anxiety or worry that comes along with it. If it keeps happening or you’re concerned, talk with your gynecologist so they can tell you everything’s fine.

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'm a 26 year old female. I started having a terrible yeast infection in 2 months ago. Since then, I had increased smelly discharge. I recently just had too much water coming out of my vagina. What could be the problem
Female | 26
You might have bacterial vaginosis. This is a common issue that can cause a smelly discharge and also too much water to come from your vagina. The symptoms may also be itching and irritation. Bacterial vaginosis is a result of the imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your vagina. Visit a gynecologist who can give you antibiotics to clear the infection.

Female | 27
If you are expecting a possibility of pregnancy, then inspect for a few of these symptoms to make sure. A few of these symptoms may include missing your period, feeling nauseous or vomiting, being tired all the time, and having tender breasts. If you think you are pregnant, you can just use a home pregnancy test to confirm it. If you do the test and it comes out positive, don't forget to see a gynecologist for proper care and guidance.

After period don't any time sex still I can pregnent
Female | 19
In case a menstrual period is followed by a brief wave of fertility, you might get pregnant, especially if your cycle is shorter than four weeks or you have ovulatory disturbances. The major symptoms that might be an indication of pregnancy like a woman not having her period, nausea, or boobs being tender can cause her to get alarmed. For the safety of both partners, one of the ways which guarantee this is refraining from any sexual activity or techniques (such as withdrawal) that carry with them the risk of unprotected sex. In case you are still confused or worried, the first step is contacting a gynecologist for advice and consulting on the different types of protection.

I am 21 years old and I've been vomiting and I also have a bloated stomach, I don't know what's wrong with me but I suspect pregnancy because I had sex with my boyfriend about three weeks ago but I was on my period and he did not release inside me so I'm confused
Female | 21
These symptoms may also come from diseases like a stomach bug or food poisoning. If you're stressed out about pregnancy, you could take a test to make sure. Remember, it's always good to talk to a gynecologist, if you're not feeling well.

I have done sex today so I don’t want to pregnant and I didn’t use safety so I want use I PILL tablet to not pregnant
Female | 19
The “morning-after pill” is a type of emergency contraception that can prevent pregnancy if taken within a certain time after unprotected sexual intercourse. It does this by stopping or delaying ovulation (the release of eggs), which means there’s no egg for sperm to fertilize. Some common side effects include nausea, headache, and tiredness. Remember that this should not be used as regular birth control. If you are worried, you can reach out for further advice from a gynecologist.

Are these STD symptoms, if yes then my partner is not experiencing anyone of this and yes I took an ipill 2 months ago , so is it effect of that? I'm really confused. Please help.
Female | 16
Experiencing vaginal and anal bleeding, especially with odor and unusual discharge, could stem from various causes, including infections or irritation. Although it's possible for bleeding to occur due to factors like hormonal changes from emergency contraception, such symptoms may also indicate a need for medical evaluation. Consult a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They can assess your symptoms thoroughly and provide the necessary guidance.

I am 15, a female. I have been getting a smell, down there and I just got my period and it's is orange and red.what do I do?
Female | 15
The odor might be a sign of an infection. Sometimes, when period blood mixes with discharge, the color may change slightly. Orange or red could be normal, but it’s important to notice any unusual changes. It’s best to talk to a trusted adult, like a parent or guardian, and consider visiting a gynecologist.

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)
Female | 22
It's understandable to feel concerned about your missed period, especially with a history of irregular cycles. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is 100% effective. Given your cycle history and recent changes in your body, stress or hormonal fluctuations could contribute to this delay. I recommend taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If it’s negative and your period doesn’t start soon, consider consulting a gynecologist for thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

Periods may be disrupted by several factors, such as stress, hormonal changes, or physical alterations. Every method of protection lowers the chances of getting pregnant, but none of them is 100% risk-free. The red spotting you noticed could also be the result of other issues like a hormonal imbalance or changes caused by stress. Watching the patterns of your menstruation is indeed important. If your periods don't turn out soon or if you're worried, it would be best to visit a gynecologist who can provide a personalized approach to address your concerns and reassure you.
