Answered on 23rd May '24

This may be an indication of a medical condition like uterine fibroids or endometriosis. I suggest you to go to a gynecologist immediately. They will diagnose and treat any conditions that are causing you to have long and heavy periods.

Taking the i-pill twice in a short span can lead to hormonal imbalances and side effects, and your symptoms may require medical evaluation. Please contact a healthcare professional as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms and concerns.

I missed 3 days of my period and on 4th day i got bleeding..i am confused that its my period or implantation bleeding. pregnancy test shows negative..

Female | 33

MISSING PERIOD followed by BLEEDING can have multiple causes.. IMPLANTATION BLEEDING occurs before a MISSED PERIOD.. NEGATIVE PREGNANCY TEST indicates it may not be IMPLANTATION BLEEDING.. Consult a DOCTOR for further evaluation of the CAUSE.

So I have had sex twice in my life ....but at both times it was protected sex like we used condoms ......tho the second time ....it took a short time ...like i lost gas before it was that intense... But like let's after a week or two ...I had my periods..it was a heavy flow with painful cramps and it happened the usual way for me ....then the next month I missed my periods.... Ps..have always had unstable periods from the very start of experiencing them ...so missing my periods that month didn't really scare me But now this month (second month from the time I had sex) I vomited once and I think it was cause of my ulcers ...then I barely excrete.....I don't over pee unless I drink a lot .....I have always over slept even before and I still over sleep .....I have always been lazy but there's a way I feel so weak in my body and I don't know if it's cause I might be pregnant....have done several tests and its always indicating negative results... So now please help me describe what the problem with me might be

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .

Female | 23

Eve­n if complete insertion didn't occur, pre­gnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still re­ach the egg. Immediate­ symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or bre­ast tenderness could be­ early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provide­s confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't pre­clude pregnancy.

I am a pregnant woman with 6 months,i have went for consultations and started the medication from 5th month starting, there is no risk found by the doctors, does it mean I will get a normal delivery or is it mandatory to have the reports of first four month

Female | 22

It is entirely possible­ to have a natural childbirth experie­nce even in the­ absence of early pre­natal reports from the initial four-month period. The­ diagnostic assessments conducted at a late­r stage can frequently provide­ crucial insights. Maintain adherence to the­ guidance provided by your healthcare­ provider. Continue taking pre­scribed medications as instructed.

I'm having spotting today..I had sex with my partner..but he didn't insert his penis...the semen was spread outside..so in doubt I took ginger and papaya leaf..I'm also a hypothyroidism patient..is it a sign of pregnancy...and if so is it safe to take i-pill

Female | 20

Women may experience light spotting after sex, especially if their period is approaching. This is normal and not always a sign of pregnancy. Irregular periods can also be caused by mental health issues linked to hypothyroidism. While ginger and papaya are commonly used herbs, they are not reliable for preventing pregnancy. If you're worried about pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency pill like the i-pill.

What is o e/o utero-placental or feto-placental insufficency

Male | 29

Uteroplacental or fetoplacental insufficiency is when the placenta is unable to perform its vital functions, hence, the baby's problems. Symptoms comprise poor growth, a decrease in movements, and low amniotic fluid. Causes can be high blood pressure or smoking. To help, physicians might observe the patients closely, suggest rest, and plan for the early delivery of the baby. This case is an example of careful preparation for a healthy baby.

Does ovarian cyst cause fertility problems

Female | 19

Ovarian cysts are rarely the cause of infertility in women. They are like small fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries and usually disappear on their own without causing symptoms. However, a large cyst can sometimes cause belly pain, irregular periods, or pain during sex. In rare cases, large cysts might affect fertility, but this is uncommon. If a cyst causes significant discomfort, a doctor may suggest medication or surgery. Importantly, having an ovarian cyst doesn’t usually mean it will be difficult to get pregnant.
