Could I have air embolism from IUI insertion?
I did at home IUI on Friday and didn’t realise there was air in the syringe and blew some in my vagina and now I’m worried about an air embolism

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 27th Aug '24
Air embolism is the condition when air bubbles get into your blood vessels and can be quite dangerous. But, don't worry too much. In your case, that is highly unlikely. Symptoms would include chest pain, trouble breathing, and dizziness. You look okay for now, but if any symptoms appear, do not wait to get help.

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.

My pregnant wife legs keep on swelling up while she is just 5month pregnant
Female | 22
During the 5th month, leg swelling can occur due to fluid retention and pressure on veins from the growing baby, slowing circulation and causing fluid buildup. To alleviate this, recommend elevating legs, remaining active, and wearing support stockings. Importantly, discuss it with her gynecologist.

Female | 19
Some probable causes are Cervical sensitivity after a surgical abortion, which can lead to easy bleeding, and Cervical bleeding a bit after sex too. If bleeding doesn’t stop or gets worse, it is important to discuss it with a gynecologist who will check to see if everything is okay.

Female | 18
This can mean hormone imbalances, thyroid problems, stress, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. As well irregular periods may be caused by some drugs. The reason might be found by a gynecologist if you track your cycle and record all symptoms. Healthy living, stress management, and appropriate treatment can help you regulate your menstruation.

Why my vagina keep itching very severely
Female | 17
The itch of a vagina can often be quite a problem for a woman. It may be a yeast infection, which is when there is excess yeast in that area. The products you are using for your soap, and laundry detergent may bring about this condition. To help just use hypoallergenic soaps and wear breathable cotton underwear. If your problem persists, it is necessary to go to a gynecologist to have the correct cure.

Female | 31
During pregnancy, your baby will grow steadily, and this will help your body to expand to the necessary extent. If you are experiencing frequent inconvenience, you must rest by sitting or lying with your feet elevated to alleviate pressure in the area. Heavy lifting or any other activities that may be physically demanding should be avoided. You can also take an opinion of gynecologist.

Female | 22
Late periods and breast pain can be concerning but it's common and can have various reasons. Breast pain mostly occurs due to hormonal changes such as before periods. Stress, diet changes, or medications can also affect periods. Make sure to chill, eat well, and exercise. If the problem persists or gets worse you may want to see a gynecologist.

I am 21 years old and I'm facing vaginal itching from last two months, I went through a treatment and it went away at first but now after some days it again started itching, earlier itching was area near the vagina but now it's inside the vagina and it happens mostly at night. I also have dryness in my vagina and vaginal gas also. Please suggest me something
Female | 21
The way it seems, you might be suffering from a yeast infection. Yeast is a kind of fungus that leads to some problems like itching, dryness, and discomfort in the vagina. This disease is common and easily cured. Yogurt containing live bacteria might help, and you can use antifungal creams, which are available without a prescription. Besides, try to wear loose cotton underwear and strongly avoid using scented products in that area. If the symptoms last, you can consult a gynecologist to get some more instructions.

I am 23yrs old. I last slept with my boyfriend on August 27th and got my period on September 15, ended on 18th and my period is 8 days late this month (October)
Female | 23
Occasionally, stress or changes in the daily schedule can cause the period to be delayed. Besides, being physically active or shifting in weight can also be why. If you have unprotected sex, it's good to check if you are pregnant. A home pregnancy test kit will be able to tell you.

I am 24 years old female. I am two weeks pregnant. I just started bleeding, i can’t go to a medical professional any time soon. What should i do and why is this happening
Female | 24
Blood loss throughout an early pregnancy might have a few causes such as implantation, hormone shifts, and small issues, to name a few. It is well for IUDers to keep an eye on the flow and any symptoms like severe cramps or dizziness. Letting you rest instead of doing anything stressful can be more helpful. Even though the majority of the cases can be solved without intervention, it is advisable to receive a gynecologist's advice as soon as possible.

I had sex on my period and 2 days later I saw a huge strange shaped bloodclot
Female | 24
Blood clots during your period are common, especially after sex. The flow may get clotted, with varying shapes and sizes. This is typically normal, not alarming. Clots can look odd, yet still be regular. However, severe pain, heavy bleeding, or unusual symptoms require medical attention. Contact a gynecologist if this occurs.

Actually my periods won't stop and last 5days just finished my periods and then suddenly my periods came out and this time not too much flow but it's looks like white discharge but colour is lighten red so basically my question is is that normal
Female | 22
It seems you’re experiencing some changes in your periods, which can be challenging. If you notice a light reddish discharge after your period ends, it could be due to hormonal imbalances you're going through. This might cause spotting or light bleeding that looks white or pinkish. It’s usually not a serious issue, but if you’re concerned or it continues, it might be a good idea to talk to a gynecologist.

Hiii Doctor I am Ramya i have vaginal infection most of itching ,like ringworm please suggest some cream or tablet to resolve immediately
Female | 26
You might be suffering from a yeast infection. Yeast infections can indeed cause vaginal irritation, just like ringworm. You can try clotrimazole, a non-prescription antifungal cream, to treat the infection. If the symptoms get worse over time, then consult a gynecologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

I’m 21 years old female I have pid and have been using ofloxacin to cure it since last three months I bought one this month and it didn’t work for me Can I use metronidazole to treat pid
Female | 21
It is important to visit the doctor if you are experiencing any of the following pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) symptoms, such as; pelvic pain, high body temperature, and unusual discharge. If ofloxacin does not cure you, I suggest you not replace it with metronidazole, as PID usually needs a variety of drugs to be healed properly, without first consulting a doctor. I advise that you make an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss the symptoms and find the most suitable approach. This can only be achieved through timely management and regular health checks by PID.

period pain since 16 but not come what to do my date is 19-20
Female | 23
It is entirely natural to have period pain, including if your period has not yet come. This period of pain represents the ups and downs our body goes through with hormones as they change. A warm bath or a warm water bag on the tummy can be used to ease the pain. If pain gets too severe or you have any further worries; contact a gynecologist.

You should ask doctor prior to stopping Depo injections. The discontinuation of this type of birth control without due notice can result in abnormal bleedings and other side effects. Before making any alterations to your birth control system, it is advisable that you consult a gynecologist.
