Answered on 23rd May '24
It is just normal to feel worry when your period is late. Many things can cause this. You may feel stressed. Your body weight may have changed. Or, you may have hormone problems. Sometimes, a missed period means you are pregnant. If you keep missing your periods, see a gynecologist for help.

I have tried to conceive and I Have taken taken some scan and found that hemorrhagic anovulatory follicle need treatment for the same
Female | 27
It's understandable to feel concerned about discovering a hemorrhagic anovulatory follicle. This condition can occur when an ovarian follicle fills with blood and fails to release an egg, which may lead to symptoms like irregular periods or abdominal discomfort. Common causes include hormonal imbalances or changes in menstrual cycles. Treatment options often involve observation or hormonal therapy to restore balance. It’s important to have an open discussion with your gynecologist about your specific situation and treatment plans.

After marriage I have irregular periods and after August I haven't had my period for 3 months so my gynecologist gave me tablets for periods so I had my period in a week After that he gave progluterol metaformin tablets for get pregnancy So I have been using it for 2 months My last period was on December 27th ended After that, when we were waiting to conceive, January 18th was I had my period again We had first intercourse on the 3rd of February after my period Today is February 22 so I took a pregnancy test today morning but I got a negative result? Why?
Female | 23
A negative test doesn't mean there's trouble; it might indicate testing too soon before hormones rise detectably. Patience and perseverance are advised. Maintain an optimistic outlook, follow healthy habits, and persist in trying. If concerns persist after several months, consulting your gynecologist can provide reassurance or identify any issues needing attention.

I wanna know the cause of seeing your periods three times a month?
Female | 33
Experiencing heavy flow approximately once every three weeks can be a result of a multitude of reasons and may include hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, stress, or even PCOS. I advise a comprehensive examination and correct diagnosis from a gynecologist.

Your health is very important, that's why you have to take care of yourself. Do not worry, your situation is quite common. Stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors can affect your monthly cycle. You are feeling body pain and back pain, which are not the worrying topic. First and foremost, relax and give your body some time to heal. If the period still doesn't come, then contact a doctor so that they can have a check on your health. Their guidance can make you better understand the situation. Your health is very important, so be sure to take care of yourself.

I am rly itchy (down there but like inside) and I have a smell and thick white discharge and it’s been like this for about a week
Female | 17
It seems that you’ve got a yeast infection. Yeast are small organisms that can live in warm, humid places like inside your body. The overgrowth of them is the cause of itchiness, thick white discharge, and a smell. You may experience this more after taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes. You can get over-the-counter creams to help treat it, but if it doesn't get better, it's important to talk to a gynecologist. Besides, wearing loose cotton underwear and avoiding perfumed products can help with the prevention of these infections in the future.

My period date date is 17 may, what will be my ovulation date
Female | 33
In a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the start of your next period. Since your period date is May 17, you can estimate your potential ovulation date by subtracting around 14 days.

Pirods bahut Leta aa rahe hai or is bar blood ke sath water bhi aa raha hai
Female | 21
A lot of pain plus water coming out with blood during the period is abnormal. There’s a possibility of a hormone imbalance or an infection which is the reason. You must discuss with a gynecologist to find out the reason for your symptoms and to get the appropriate treatment.

I have a query regarding HPV tests and vaccination
Female | Jayna Bhalla
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus and many people get affected by it and yet the symptoms often go unnoticed. It is passed most frequently by the close contact of skin with the infected area. Although some strains produce warts or tumors as a result of an unchecked infection, the vaccination is a valuable means of protection from many conditions of such kind related to HPV. Regular check-ups are the cornerstone of infection prevention. If you have any worries about your health or vaccination, I suggest you see a gynecologist.

Female | 17
You should visit an obstetrician/gynecologist today to determine what role the misoprostol will play in a pregnancy. It is essential to realize that the benefits of this drug may have very severe short and long-term negative impacts on both the mother and the fetus.

Female | 25
Periods ka irregular hona aur delay hona kai wajah se ho sakta hai, jaise stress, hormonal imbalance, ya lifestyle changes. Jab aapne pregnancy test kiya aur faint line dekhi, toh ye indicate kar sakta hai ki shayad pregnancy hai, lekin result ko confirm karne ke liye test ko kuch din baad dobarah karna behtar hoga. Abhi aapko apne health par focus karna chahiye; sahi diet, exercise, aur relaxation se madat mil sakti hai. Agar periods nahi aate ya symptoms continue karte hain, toh please Gynecologist se milkar check-up zarur karein.

20 weeks 4 days pregnancy: everything is normal in TIFFA scan except one thing...stomach bubble visualized but relatively small size.. please explain me doctor??
Female | 31
The fact that one of the stomach bubbles is still rather small may mean that your baby's stomach is growing, which is normal at this stage after all. It could point to a small problem in some cases but the more pregnancies with such objects where there was nothing to worry about added to the benefits. Just so you know, close observation will be the usual course of action. I think you should talk about this with your gynecologist to get highly personalized advice.

Am 40 weeks pg,on saturday I saw discharge with a drop of blood then later had strong braxton hicks until around 1am which disappeared until yesterday 4pm, I've seen brownish little discharge from time to time since then with little cramping, am I okay
Female | 27
Maybe you’re having some symptoms that suggest your body might be getting prepared for delivery. The blood drop could occur because your cervix is beginning to open. A brownish discharge along with cramps are normal as well since this means that your body is readying itself for birth. Make sure you rest, drink plenty of water, and watch the cramps. If you start feeling worried or cramping gets worse don’t hesitate to contact a gynecologist.

Female | 20
Your girlfriend likely can't become pregnant in this instance. For pregnancy, sperm has to enter the vagina during fertile days. Since your girlfriend wasn't ovulating then, and sperm cannot pass through clothing, the chances seem very low. You changed clothes and wiped away semen too, decreasing the likelihood further. However, if she remains concerned, your girlfriend could take a pregnancy test to ease her worries.

I have been having itchiness and irritation in vaginal area for 4-5 days. And cottage cheese like discharge without smell. I have been using warm salt water to wash the area and my clump discharge now changed to sheet like discharge without smell. But still irritation is there. Is this yeast infection. Am i getting better or worse?
Female | 27
It sounds like you may be experiencing a vaginal yeast infection, characterized by irritation and the type of discharge you’ve described. The warm salt water may provide temporary relief, but it's essential to treat the underlying cause. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments can be effective. However, since symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A doctor can provide personalized care and ensure you're on the right track to feeling better.

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 had UTI will it cause infertility
Male | 16
A UTI is a urinary tract infection. This condition does not usually impact fertility. Some signs of a UTI are burning when you pee, needing to pee often, and urine that looks cloudy or smells strong. UTIs mostly happen when bacteria enters the urinary tract. To treat a UTI, your doctor will give you antibiotics. Drinking lots of water can help flush out the infection. If you are worried about fertility, it is best to talk to a gynecologist. They can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
