Protected Sex, Missed Periods: Next Steps?

I have protected sex. But also missed my periods. What should I do now?

1 Answer
Dr. Himali Patel

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 2nd Aug '24

Irregular pe­riods create worry for those who had prote­cted intercourse. Stre­ss, imbalanced hormones, or specific me­dical conditions often cause missed cycle­s. Weight fluctuations, medications, and thyroid problems be­sides pregnancy may also stop menstruation. Monitor any symptoms accompanying irre­gular bleeding. If periods re­main absent long-term, consulting a gynecologist allows evaluation dete­rmining the root cause. They can guide­ through diagnosis and recommend proper tre­atment options.

I am a lump in my vaigna , i am 20 years old . The lump is in the outside of vagina where hair grows

Female | 20

If the lump is on the vulva, the outer part of the vagina, it might be a cyst. A cyst can form when skin glands get blocked. This is usually not a big deal, but still, let your doctor take a look at it to be sure. They’ll tell you what to do next.

I am 22 years of age experiencing period pains but no periods

Female | 22

This can happen to some people. Usually, it is nothing to worry about. The stresses, hormonal changes, or normal body changes might be the reasons for these pains. You can try light exercise to feel better. Also, you can apply a warm compress to your lower belly or take over-the-counter pain relief medicine like ibuprofen if needed.

Vagainal discharge bloody

Female | 35

Vaginal bleeding of any kind might be a sign of many conditions like vaginal infection or cancer of the cervix. A gynecologic visit is necessary for an evaluation and correct diagnosis. If you have a blood-stained vaginal discharge, you need to see a gynecologist immediately.

Done HSG test, and result is : Bilateral patent tube

Female | 36

This indicates that both of your fallopian tubes are open and functioning properly. This is a positive result as it suggests that there are no blockages or obstructions in your fallopian tubes that could interfere with fertility or conception. It increases the chances of successful natural conception and may be reassuring if you are trying to conceive.

Hi.. I wanted to enquire I had unprotected sex about 7 to 6 days before my periods but I took p2 5 hours after unprotected sex is there possibility of being pregnant

Female | 20

Unprotected se­x near a menstrual cycle de­creases the chance­s of pregnancy. The eme­rgency contraceptive pill (P2), take­n within 5 hours, reduces the risk, but it's not foolproof. Signs like­ fatigue, nausea, and a missed pe­riod could indicate pregnancy. If concerne­d, take a pregnancy test afte­r your expected pe­riod date for reassurance.
