Could spotting after Unwanted 72 be withdrawal bleeding?
I have had unprotected sex with pull out method on the 23rd October, which was the 11th day after my periods. My last period was on 12th October. For safety I took Unwanted 72 within an hour of unprotected sex. Now after 8 days I got light spotting and it is going on, but haven't got any flow like period. So, does this spotting means withdrawal bleeding? Is there any chance of pregnancy after that? I usually have a 30 day cycle. Please help.

Spotting can happen as a side effect, often called withdrawal bleeding. It's typically lighter than a normal period. The timing may be irregular too. This bleeding doesn't necessarily mean pregnancy occurred. Just monitor your cycle over the next few weeks. Contact a gynecologist if concerns persist or new symptoms arise.

What is the cause of delays in periods, prolactin range 28ng?
Female | 26
When periods are delayed and prolactin levels are at 28 ng/mL, it may be due to a condition called hyperprolactinemia, which is characterized by high levels of prolactin in the blood. Symptoms can include irregular periods and milky discharge from the breasts. This condition can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a benign tumor on the pituitary gland. Treatment usually involves medication or addressing the underlying cause.

Female | 18
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 have missed my period recently bt I can't find a reason for that to happen, what can I do?
Female | 18
You might miss it due to stress, drastic weight loss or gain, hormonal disturbances, or changes in your regular schedule. Signs of missed periods can consist of breast soreness, bloating, and irritability. If you miss more than one period, it’d be best for you to see a gynecologist so they can help you understand.

I am having pain in my lower abdomen, and I think I have UTI symptoms and I just got a skin rash on both of my arms
Female | 18
It's possible you have a URINARY TRACT infection and a rash.
UTIs can cause pain in lower abdomen..... Get tested!! and treated.
RASH could be unrelated or a side effect of medication.
Consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

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!
Female | 19
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.

I notice a painful lump between my anus and vagina. I can feel it through my anus and it hurts when I sit and stand. Also have frequent bowel movements for months and haemorrhoids. The pain became severe yesterday
Female | 18
A painful cyst contained between the anus and vaginal opening that brings discomfort should be treated by a medical specialist. This may point at an abscess or infection and should be immediately attended to by a gynecologist or colorectal surgeon. Moreover, a doctor should also be consulted and the causes for regular stool or hemorrhoids investigated.

Dr agar periods aane wale ho aur unprotected sex kiya ho tho periods key date Tak wait kerna chahiye yaaa test lenaa chahiye sperm nahi gaya tha but during sex
Female | 21
if you have at risk sex close to your period, delay or wait.
There is an option for emergency contraception pills, however they are not 100%.
Use condoms to avoid pregnancy and getting sexually transmitted infections.
Consult a physician for further advice and routine follow-up.s

Female | 28
Sometimes periods can be late because of stress, a change in routine, or hormonal fluctuations. The tablets you took could also affect your cycle. Wait for a few more days. If you still do not get your periods, it would be good to talk to a gynecologist for advice that is specific to you.

I recently took my gardasil vaccine (HPV) on 30 march 2024 after which my periods got delayed for over 10-15 days then I got my periods again on 29 april after which I hvnt got my periods until now and today is 13 june i took the 2nd dose of gardasil on 10 june 2024 is the vaccine affecting me?
Female | 20
Your menstrual cycle may go through some changes chastely after being vaccinated. The vaccine is known to be able to modify the menstrual cycle at times, but it's no cause for anxiety. Over time, your periods will return to when they were on their own. Meanwhile, always be healthy, be hydrated, and get enough sleep.

My periods bleeding is prolong to 10 days, this is the first time that im facing it.suggest me to stop period bleed
Female | 26
Around 5-7 days is typical for periods. But yours lasting 10 days can be frustrating. Hormonal imbalances, stress, medical conditions may cause prolonged bleeding. Try stopping bleeding by avoiding intense physical activity, resting enough, staying hydrated. If bleeding persists, see a gynecologist for advice to be safe.

Hello, my wife's gyno has suggested stretching her vagina in prep for labour and will over see it by appointments every 2 weeks. Is this normal?
Female | 34
It is normal for some women who are about to give birth and need vaginal stretching first. This is what is known as a perineal massage. It has the advantages of preventing tears during delivery and increasing elasticity. Symptoms like tightness can make labor harder. The stretching is the work of a gynecologist who ensures it is done safely. A technique like this can lead to a more seamless experience of childbirth; thus, it is a common practice.

I am 27 year old mother of 4 month son. I got my period on 13th December 2021. And then had baby on 20th September 2022. After that my bleeding lasted for 6 -8 weeks. But it will be 5 th month completed now but still cannot get my period back. I am not even pregnant . I actually gained 13 kilos after my pregnancy and I was already obese before pregnancy . I used to take multi vitamins and stuff. I think maybe sleep deprivation could be an issue. I took pregnancy test one ..no result. But it would be better if you could sort my queries . I don't understand what should I do,m
Female | 27
It normally happens post delivery. The delay can be due to hormonal changes, stress, sleep deprivation, and weight fluctuations. It's best to consult with a gynecologist to help evaluate & treat your problems.

Mera period time pe hua but isme bleeding bikul nhi hua ,kyu iska kya karan ho sakta hai
Female | 21
This could be caused by several things. Sometimes it is due to stress or hormonal imbalances in the body. At other times exercising may lead to a lack of menstruation while sudden weight changes can also bring about the same effect. If it happens once more then I recommend that you talk to your gynecologist.

How common are external hemorrhoids or piles postpartum?
Female | 23
External hemorrhoids or piles can occur during or after pregnancy due to the increased pressure on the rectal veins and hormonal changes. Hemorrhoids often improve with time and self-care measures such as a high-fiber diet, hydration, and creams.

hey doc i have been having a pain in my outer area of vagina but i have never had sex before what could be the problem please advice
Female | 24
Nerve sensitivity might be why the pain has been occurring, which is called vulvodynia, in the area. A skin rash, an infection, or tight-fitting clothes could be among other probable culprits. To help the pain, wearing loose, cotton underwear, avoiding soaps that irritate, and using a cold compress may be soothing. The discomfort should be reported to a gynecologist if it does not go away or gets worse.

I am 17 years old and am scared I might be pregnant. I used protection and checked for holes but I’m still concerned because I’m not on birth control and I took a pregnancy test 7 days after I had sex and it came back negative do you think there is a chance I could be pregnant
Female | 17
When a woman is pregnant, she might experience missed periods, nausea, and being constantly tired. However, stress can also bring these signs. Sometimes getting tested one week after intercourse may not give accurate results. If you want to be more certain, wait longer and do another test.

Missing periods may happen when taking desogestrel rowex pills. It is a common side effect. Some people don't bleed at all. There's no need to worry, it's not harmful. Your body just changes a bit. If concerned, talk to your gynecologist.
