What to Do with Missed Pills Before Inactive Pills?
I have been on the combination pill for four months. Sometime in my last pack I have missed two pills, I have no idea where. I am supposed to start my first inactive pill on Thursday. I had unprotected sex on Saturday and Sunday. I did take my pills in the week leading up to the unprotected sex. I do also know that I did not miss two consecutive pills. What do I do with the two left over pills? Do I still take the inactive pills for this pack?

Answered on 23rd May '24
If you miss two pills in a single pack, it may lower the effectiveness of the contraceptive in protecting you from becoming pregnant. The risk will obviously be minimal since they were non-consecutive. Take the remaining ones according to the instructions and begin the inactive pills as per your diary. In case you have any strange signs such as abnormal bleeding or spotting, use extra birth control methods and consult your gynecologist for more advice.

My periods bleeding has reduced in last 3 months. Usually on 2nd day i have heavy bleeding but now it's less bleeding. Why? Also whenever I have sex with my partner, I dry mid sex and unable to finish when he does. Why? Could it be because I'm obese?

Reduced menstrual bleeding and vaginal dryness during sex can have several causes, including hormonal changes, stress, or weight-related factors. It's important to consult a gynecologist to understand the specific reasons behind these changes and receive appropriate treatment.

Female | 21
If you've experienced pain and bleeding due to a broken hymen, you must address the discomfort. You can consider taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But please do follow the recommended dosage instructions on the medication's label and consult with a gynecologist if the pain persists or worsens.

My period was due on November 4th And never showed.. it still wasn’t around by the 4th. so I had unprotected sex for the first time. And now I’m worried and don’t know what to do if my period doesn’t show up.
Female | 16
It is necessary to take a pregnancy test if you had unprotected sexual intercourse and the delay of your period occurs. While a negative result and the absence of your period require an additional check with consulting either gynecologists or obstetricians. They can determine if there is an underlying condition responsible for the delay and offer adequate treatment

Late period, negative pregnancy test, could there be something else wrong?
Female | 23
Your hormones might be out of balance. Those problems can mess up your menstrual cycle. Late periods can happen due to thyroid issues too. Polycystic ovary syndrome is another possible cause. If your period stays away for a while, and other symptoms pop up, talk to your gynecologist to figure out the reason behind the delay.

Often, blood presence after partner ejaculation inside signifies potential vaginal irritation. Causes might include infection, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances. Although concerning, consulting a gynecologist enables identifying the root issue. They'll provide suitable treatment.

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.

28 year old female. Had mifepristone on Wednesday night. Next day had bleeding with clots . Took 4 misoprostol orally . No bleeding. There is little bleeding but seems like it’s from mifepristone
Female | 28
The bleeding as well as clots you had is quite normal when using these drugs for a medical termination. There are times when the bleeding starts to slow down but that doesn't mean it's not effective. Take it easy and keep in touch with your gynecologist. Also, don't forget to look after yourself and have plenty of rest.

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.

My wife has some cysts outside her vagina. When they are squeezed, a white substance comes out. She has a mental problem about this. What is it?
Female | 24
The cysts located outside her vagina that release a white-colored substance when squeezed may be sebaceous cysts. These cysts occur when the glands become blocked with oil. They are generally harmless but can be annoying sometimes. Tell your wife not to touch them as it may cause an infection. If they are bothering her, she can go to a gynecologist for some suggestions.

My wife took a unwanted x 5 pills one on empty stomach and 4 as days goes on as she missed her periods this month , it has been 48 hrs still there is no symptom of bleeding, do we take any other medications or should we wait to clear
Female | 29
It's important to understand that the tablets your spouse took can delay her menstrual cycle. In some cases, bleeding may not start right away. It’s normal to wait about a week for bleeding to begin. If there are no signs after this time, only then should you consider other medication or consult a gynecologist.

I didn't get my periods before 2 months and i check pregnancy test 2 time is negative what I do
Female | 20
When you get negative pregnancy tests but your periods don't show up for two months, many people get anxious. Stress, drastic weight alterations, some drugs, and hormones are some of the reasons why this could happen. This can lead to irregular periods. The best thing to do is go and see a gynecologist so that they can find out what’s going on with you.

Hi, I have undergone abortion in Feb 2024, after that in 6 months my average menstrual cycle is 33 days, now it has been 50 days since I got period, pregnancy test is negative and I observed 2 blood clots in the past 2 days! Was it period?
Female | 23
Hormone fluctuations or not expelling all the tissue from the abortion could be the reason for longer cycles and blood clots. Stress, changes in weight, and even thyroid complications can be responsible for irregular periods. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and be sure to manage stress levels. If the problem persists, see a gynecologist to find out if you have any other disease.

Female | 18
There can be different reasons for this problem, such as stress, weight gain, or hormonal imbalances. The color, time taken, and amount of blood during menstruation are early indicators of a possible imbalance in your body. You should first and foremost dedicate an appropriate period to stress reduction and eat a balanced diet. Also, be sure to get regular exercise. Visit a gynecologist to get proper treatment.

Female | 20
When your period is late, it’s quite normal to be worried, especially when associated with symptoms such as mood swings, headaches, and pain. Stress is one of the main influences on the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Top among the causes include changes in hormone levels, lifestyle, or underlying medical issues. I suggest that you closely observe the symptoms and menstrual cycles that you experience. Relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and a healthy diet are beneficial to your health. you may also consult a gynecologist.

I'm a 62 year old woman who is suffering menopausal symptoms and I'm looking for some advice on relieiving them
Female | 62
Menopause is a normal stage in a woman's life, usually around the age of 50 or 60. Symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and trouble sleeping can be bothersome. These symptoms happen due to hormonal changes in the body. You can try lifestyle changes like regular exercise, a healthy diet, and managing stress to help relieve these symptoms. It's also helpful to wear loose clothing and use fans to stay cool. If these tips don’t help, you can talk to a gynecologist about other treatment options.

Am Aysha, age 31.I have two children aged 10 and 9. Later 6 years ago got pregnant twice and had an abortion on the pill. Now I am pregnant again. Is it dangerous to have an abortion after taking the pill again?
Female | 31
It is quite questionable whether having an abortion after consuming a birth control pill can cause critical problems. Therefore, the first and foremost thing is to consult with the doctor about your case. If you face unbearable pain, heavy bleeding, or fever after the operation, it can be a sign of infection. Keep in constant contact and a close partnership with your gynecologist.
