Could recent sex trigger spotting after 1.5-year period hiatus?
I had spotting after a 1.5 years without a period. I'm 49 years old. I did have sex one week ago so wonder if that could cause the spotting. I have also had menopause symptoms for the past 3 or 4 years

It is normal to feel worried if you see spots after not having a period for a long time. At 49, you might be going through the change of life, which can cause bleeding that does not follow a pattern. Having sex can sometimes make spots appear due to hormone changes or thinning of the vagina tissues. If you have been having menopause signs for a few years now, it is likely the cause. Do not worry, but if the spots keep happening or you have concerns, it is always a good idea to talk with a gynecologist.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex. On July 4, gave him oral. His pre cum got onto my lips. Kissed him on his hips with his pre cum. And then he went down on me. Is it possible to get pregnant like that? Or even if he has touched his penis with a little bit of pre cum and fingered me after 1-1.5 hours of doing so? I took emergency contraceptive under 48 hours. And I drank 2 glasses of ginger water one day before taking it and also 5 hours before taking it. And early morning before taking the pill on July 5, I saw some light bleeding in my vagina and thought it was ovulation bleeding because I don’t have such light periods. And I’ve irregular periods. ( I’m not sure if it was my periods ) so there are chances that I took the unwanted 72 pill on the first day or 1-2 days before my periods were due. And after 14-15 hours of taking the pill, I started bleeding heavily (more than spotting and less than periods) . The bleeding was enough to use a pad. Can withdrawal bleeding start this early ? Just after 14-15 hours of taking the pill? Or is it my periods triggering early because I took the pill maybe near my due date or on my due date? On 6th July morning, I drank one more glass of ginger water , and in the evening my body temperature fluctuated between 99.3 at 5pm to 98.7 at 8pm and 97.6 at 11pm . My heartbeat also gets fast sometimes. Is it because of the stress? Or hormonal changes? Today is July 7th, more than 48 hours gone after taking the pill. And in the morning , I was feeling dizzy , tired and weakness. I slept again and woke up at 3pm. I am still feeling tired but that maybe because I slept so much. I’m still bleeding heavily. But it’s lesser than my normal periods. Could this be my periods only? But less heavier? Or is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnancy safe? I’m really worried!

Interestingly, you can get pregnant despite using emergency contraception. The bleeding you experienced is more likely a response to the pill, not pregnancy. The changes in temperature and fast heartbeat might be due to hormonal changes or stress. Dizziness and fatigue are common with emergency contraceptives. Take some time to rest, and keep hydrated, and if you have any more concerns, please visit a gynecologist.

If u randomly have sexual arousal fluid as a female now and again in the day time after doing no sexual activity, do you need to wash yourself to stop risk of a uti?
Female | 18
If you are a woman who at times experiences “coital fluid” just during the day without engaging in sexual activity, it is recommended that you keep decent hygiene. Cleanliness of the genital area with simple water could reduce the risk of UTI. If any of your problems or the symptoms relapse, you should consult a gynecologist for further examination and recommendation.

Can I conceive at the age of 43
Female | 43
Getting pregnant at 43 might require some effort, but isn't impossible. Fertility decreases with age, so conceiving gets harder. Irregular periods or hot flashes could signal fertility changes. This happens because egg quantity and quality decline over time. Fertility treatments like IVF might help boost the chances of pregnancy. Consulting a fertility specialist can provide further guidance on available options.

The effectiveness of the pill depends on factors like timing and individual variables. If you're sexually active and concerned about pregnancy, consider taking a pregnancy test if your period is significantly delayed.

Hi, I would like some advice on my severe stomach pelvic pain with endometriosis and pcos it's making me feel really dizzy and Dr's won't listen to me
Female | 28
I am sorry you face such difficult pains. Stomach and pelvic discomfort from endometriosis and PCOS can truly be hard. Feeling dizzy makes things even tougher. With endometriosis, uterus-like tissue grows outside the uterus. PCOS involves hormone imbalances. Treatments cover pain relief, hormone therapy, surgery sometimes. To find a gynecologist who properly manages your symptoms.

I'm 22 years old female and i living together with my fiance. I always had irregular period . In this month my period is late 7 days. I took 2 pregnancy test and both are negative. I feel tired and sleepy. Am i pregnant ? What is the reason for my late period. My period dates of last months January - 23 February - 19 March - 21
Female | 22
A late period can mean many things, not just pregnancy. Stress and weight change are common culprits. You feel sleepy – that could be anything. Tracking your period is smart so you can share details with a gynecologist. If worried, make an appointment for their expert opinion. The pregnancy test matters, but other factors deserve consideration too.

I have late periods issue and severe mood swings
Female | 25
Your periods can get delayed, along with intense mood shifts due to hormonal imbalance. Hormones act like messengers, when they're off-kilter, your cycle and emotions are impacted. Stress, diet, and certain conditions too can trigger these issues. To regulate cycle and mood swings, reduce stress, eat balanced meals, and consult a gynecologist for assessment and advice.

Sir koi period ane ka upay btaiye kya chiz khane se ayegi
Female | 25
When periods are late, it is due to the hormone secretion and weight change of the body. More fruits, vegetables, and nutritious food can be a good remedy for periods of regularization. Drinking water is also the main point. Moreover, always talk to a gynecologist if there is a lot of anxiety.

Ma'am, I am suffering from endometriosis/chocolate cyst. I have been on Dienogest 2mg medicine for more than a month but still bleeding for 15 days straight. Neither heavy bleeding nor spotting, its something in between. Is there any permanent cure for chocolate cyst or pregnancy is the only solution? I am unmarried. Kindly enlighten me if there is any permanent solution for the same.
Female | 28
Yes with Dienogest it can take several months to be effective. If bleeding continues, speak with your doctor who may perform additional tests or adjust your medications. Doctors can recommend surgery in severe cases or when other treatments have not been effective. Talk to your gynecologist beacuse pregnancy is not a permanent solution for endometriosis or chocolate cysts.

Extended bleeding after eating isn't typical. Such heavy flow stems from conditions like infections, hormonal changes, or uterine issues. You should consult a gynecologist promptly. They'll identify the underlying cause and recommend suitable treatment.

Which triphasil tablet do i take to prevent my period from starting
Female | 38
To prevent your period from starting, you should take the blue triphasil tablet from the pack. By taking this tablet, your body is prevented from releasing the egg, which can be the reason behind the delay of your period. The scenario becomes bright when you have a special event or a trip planned, and you don't want your period to come. Triphasil is safe to use for this purpose, but you should always follow the instructions and take the pills every day at the same time.

missed periods ...................................................................
Female | 19
Variant reasons can come up with missing menstruation, like stress, fluctuations in weight, or hormonal deficiencies that cause it. If you haven't had your period, try to watch for other symptoms that may have come along with it, such as headaches or mood swings. If you worry, it's better to go and talk to someone you feel secure with, such as a parent or school nurse, who can then show you what to do to be of better help to yourself.

I am bleeding from my vagina again even tho it ended a week ago. I was sick when my period started last time and I am sick again so can that cause the period?
Female | 19
Illness can affect your periods, leading to irregular bleeding, tiredness, cramps, and abnormal flow. Rest and self-care can help, but if the irregularity continues, it's important to consult a gynecologist. Menstrual changes are a way for your body to signal something, so paying attention is key.

About 2 months ago I have a c section delivery. From that my periods came after 15 days or this time I have a period or bleeding is not stopping at my 7 day or it is now 9 day of my period
Female | 24
Irregular periods after giving birth are the most common complications of childbirth. Often, the hormones that our body gives us can provoke the bleeding to last longer than normal. Make sure to drink sufficient water, eat healthy, and sleep enough. If the problem continues, talk to your gynecologist for advice.

Female | 20
It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

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.
