Could missing period after birth control pills mean pregnancy?
I took birth control pills a month ago and I just missed my period
Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 19th June '24
It's natural for your monthly period to be delayed after starting birth control pills. This may occur because the pills influence your normal hormonal cycle. In some cases, your body may need to adapt and carry out the necessary changes operationally. Some other causes of a missed period can be tension, illness, or weight alteration. If you're still worried, you could be in contact with the gynecologist who initially gave you the pills.

I am a pcod patient.my periods is scanty,and have 2 cysts in left ovary.during periods face a lot of pain.
Female | 22
One should seek consultation from a gynecologist who specializes in PCOD. Short and painful periods are typical cases of PCOD. The presence of cysts in the left ovary necessitates medical attention as well. The doctor may recommend treatment via medication or surgery based on the level of severity. Timely medical help should be sought to prevent any complications.

Hi I'm Deepa my last menstrual cycle started on August 10th and again cycle started on September 1st so is there any hormonal imbalance.
Female | 30
The reason for irregular periods could be hormonal imbalance. Some common symptoms of the hormonal imbalance are irregular periods, heavy or light bleeding, and mood swings. Stress, diet, and health conditions can cause these problems. The best way to deal with it is to consult a gynecologist for advice on managing hormonal balance.

I had continuously period bleeding from last 30 days2
Female | 21
For 30 consecutive days, bleeding is an abnormal occurrence. Identifying the potential causes is crucial. Hormonal imbalances, fibroids, polyps, or rare serious conditions could be the root. Fatigue, dizziness, and abdominal discomfort may accompany this symptom. Seeking medical attention from a gynecologist is vital.

About sexual problem her periods was missing in February month and feeling vomit type
Female | 18
These symptoms can be caused by stress, changes in routine, or hormonal imbalances. Reassure her not to worry at first. If her period is delayed, she can take a pregnancy test, as nausea could be a sign of pregnancy. However, dietary changes, stress, or illness could also cause stomach upset. It's best to consult a gynecologist, as they can offer guidance on the next steps.

If I talk I pills in 2 times but one day one 2 days after one any side effects
Female | 22
If you took a double dose of the pill on a single day and then accidentally didn't take it for two days, keep in mind that the contraceptive pill will not be as effective as usual if you miss some, though. You may notice a spot, sometimes bleeding, or a conception of pregnancy in your body. In the interest of safety, take your pills at the same time every day and, in case of doubt, use additional protection with prevention against sexually transmitted diseases like condoms for the next seven days.

I had hysterectomy with dnc and endometrial ablation last Thursday. Sunday I began swelling in my entire abdomen not just my lower. Mornings it seems a little better and as day progresses, it gets worse again. By the end of the day, I look 3 months pregnant and feel very uncomfortable. My doctor said he thinks it is from anesthesia. I don’t know and am scared and want to know how to get the swelling to stop.
Female | 46
It's normal to feel concerned about abdominal swelling after a hysterectomy and related procedures. While your doctor mentioned anesthesia effects, it's wise to consider seeking a second opinion if you're worried. Rest, elevate your legs, stay hydrated, watch your diet, and consult your doctor or a gynecologist. Gentle movements like walking might help.

i have done with tubectomy but my period missed and i have pregnancy symptoms and i have a pregnancy test but it was negative but still i have symptoms
Female | 23
If you're experiencing symptoms like missed periods and pregnancy-like feelings, despite a negative test, don't worry. Stress and hormonal shifts can sometimes mimic those sensations. Still, it's wise to consult your gynecologist about any concerns. They'll examine you thoroughly to ensure all is well.

Sometimes women do have irregular periods because of stress, hormonal imbalances, changes in weight, thyroid disorders, etc. It's important to consult a gynecologist to identify the cause of your irregular bleeding.

I’ve had chalymdia several times, and I got treated twice and I was wondering if my iud might have chalymdia on it making me not get rid of it.
Female | 18
Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Chlamydia is not caused by an IUD in your body. The infection is in your body, not on your IUD. You need to be treated properly according to what your doctor prescribes to be rid of chlamydia. The most important thing to do is to treat partners as well, thus preventing re-infection.

I had sex on April 5th which was on my 9th day of periods and I got periods regular on 25th April .but now my periods was delay , my due date was 23th may and it showing some symptoms like mood swings, frequent urination. Am I pregnant?
Female | 19
You might be pregnant based on what you’ve said. Mood swings and having to pee all the time are both symptoms of pregnancy that can occur very early on. This is because of the hormones in your body changing. The only way to know for sure if you’re pregnant or not is by taking a home pregnancy test. If it comes out positive then you need to see a gynecologist so they can help take care of things properly.

Female | 24
You might feel concerned about a late period. This delay could result from factors like increased stress levels or weight fluctuations. Occasionally, hormone imbalances contribute to missed cycles. If menstruation doesn't occur soon, consulting a gynecologist can prove beneficial.

It is always good to remember that these symptoms are caused by many factors. It is advised to see a gynecologist to determine the gross check-up and diagnosis. The symptoms presented here are likely to suggest a hormonal imbalance or a base medical disease lying underneath.

Hi there, I’m a sexually active female for reference. I have been sexually active for 5 months now and have never had an issue with pain related to sex. This was until the last couple of days. My boyfriend and I had not seen each other in 3 weeks and I just returned home from my trip. We decided to celebrate by having sex. Our celebration ended when I started feeling this immense pain. My boyfriend believes that it could have been from there not being enough lubrication. This pain has continued tor 3 days now, even hurting while not having sex. Sex definitely heightens the pain and discomfort. We have not had sex sense the pain started because it hurts too bad. It even hurts when it is being rubbed. The pain is located surrounding the opening of my vagina, both inside and out, seemingly on the side furthest from my butt. Does that make sense? This is a concern of mine and I was wondering if there was a logical explanation and perhaps an at home treatment? Along the same lines, not sure if they are related. My vagina has been very itchy. I have not noticed any irregular discharge. What may be causing this and what can be done? Also, I just recently started two new supplements. I notice my vaginal discharged had an odor. I started the “Rae’s vaginal balance” supplement and the “Azo cranberry” supplement in hopes to rectify the situation. Is there a reason why I stink and what can I do to fix the issue?
Female | 18
It seems like you might be having pain during intercourse because of dryness; however, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist in order to rule out any underlying medical issues such as infection or endometriosis. The itching and smell, which can also be caused by an infection or imbalance of your vaginal flora. It is preferably to be referred by gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and plan of action.

35 Female with lower abdominal pains below the belly button, bilateral(on both the left and right sides) unilateral in nature(where one sided pain occurs). Sharp and pinpoint to same location for both left and right sides, directly across from each other. happening since October 2021, coincided with period first occurrence on right side 2021 thought it was a cyst at first. Went away until the second occurrence on June 19th, 2022(period cycle then was June 8th - 16th), right side. Went away and returned September 25th, 2022 on left side this time(period cycle for September 2022 was the 3rd through 11th), it occurred again in January 7th 2023 on the right side(period cycle for January 2023 a skipped period) at this point I still thought it was was cyst like pain or even ovulation pain bothering me,so I went to gynecologist, they thought it could be large intestine related due to the location of the pains. I got an ultrasound that came back normal in February of 2023. The same day i had the ultrasound, I went to medexpress to get my physical for my driver's permit, and they suggested asking my previous pcp for a ct scan, to check my appendix. It was hard to get into my previous pcp as I didn't see them in 3 years so I wasn't established. I reached out to the gynecologist I saw in january of 2023, in June 2023 when I had another occurrence of the pain, to see about getting a ct scan. It was approved by insurance, but ultimately denied under physician review( by the supervising gynecologist, and my previous pcp, because my ultrasound was normal). I then established care in December of 2023, with a new pcpx who is suspicious that my pains are coming from ibs mixed with spasms. I am taking dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day as needed, but it's not really doing anything when the pains occur. My pcp also changed my dicyclomine to a 45 day supply as I asked in a different question. I also met with a surgeon in March of 2024 due to a large gallstone, as my pcp said they were common in people my age. The surgeon gave a complete different answer than what I have been given before, and he thought my pains could be coming from endometriosis. The surgeon performed my cholecystectomy, on May 29th, and did a general exploration during it, but found no endometriosis. My pcp still suggested getting an evaluation for endometriosis just to know we didn't miss anything, as well as getting evaluated by a gastroenterologist. As my pains have still been continuing. What could these pains be coming from? I feel like I will be tossed back and forth between gynecology and gastroenterology, and I don't want that at all. Some helpful info: My new pcp also diagnosed me with pcos as I fit the criteria for it with my irregular period cycles, despite my bloodwork and ultrasound coming back normal. I also had the cbc; comprehensive metabolic panel; celiac; thyroid; A1C; ESR; and C-Reactive protein all tested in December of 2023 when I met with my new pcp. The only two that came back as abnormal were my ESR at 34 and C-Reactive protein at 29.7

You have been through a lot with your abdominal pains. Therefore, considering the normal ultrasound results and the new suspicion of endometriosis from the surgeon, your pain may be due to endometriosis, the condition wherein tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus that can result in cyclical sharp pelvic pain. It's okay to talk to a gynecologist about more tests and treatments. Besides, you might want to see a gastroenterologist, too, so as to eliminate the probability of any intestinal problems causing the symptoms you are having.

White discharge,hair loss ,lump on breast
Female | 20
White discharge by itself is normal, but a strong smell or itching suggests infection. Losing hair can happen due to stress, hormones, or lacking nutrients. Lumping your breast is serious. It may not be cancer, but you need to see a gynecologist right away to be sure it's harmless. A short exam observing these symptoms can determine what tests or treatment you require, if any.

I'm 9 to 10 weeks pregnant until 3 days back i got vomiting but now it stopped is it normal or not
Female | 26
Many expecting mothers experience vomiting that comes and goes during early pregnancy weeks. The hormonal changes occurring in your body cause this. If your vomiting stops, that's alright too. Ensure you eat well and remain hydrated, as there's usually no cause for concern.

Mam mere periods 22 June ko aaye the aur abhi tak nhi aaye hai aaj 2nd August ho gya kya kre
Female | 20
If you were expecting your periods on June 22nd but it's now August 2nd, I can imagine how worried you might be. A few of the most frequent reasons why periods are delayed are stress, sudden weight changes, hormonal imbalances, and even changes in routine. Are you now suffering any of the symptoms like abnormal cramps or mood swings? Stay calm and allow it some more time. If your period still hasn't come after a couple of days, talking to a gynecologist would be a great idea to rule out any possible problems.

Hormonal changes that occur as a side effect of Plan B. The brown color is because the blood that came out is old. If the discharge continues for more than 2 weeks or you experience severe pain or fever, then please see a gynecologist for advice on what steps to take.

I had protected intercourse on August 10, 2024, and took an emergency contraceptive within 4 hours. My period/withdrawal bleeding occurred on August 19. On September 8, I noticed a small, watery, slightly cloudy nipple discharge (only when pressed), which has continued for weeks but without pain. I got my period this month with cramps, and a pregnancy test showed a single control line (negative). The discharge is still present but minimal (like a dot).is it normal or I should be concerned??
Female | 21
Hello there! It's fantastic that you used emergency contraception after having protected sex. The watery discharge from your nipple could be the result of various reasons like hormonal changes, medication, or even stress. Since you had a negative pregnancy test and minimal discharge, it could be normal. Keep an eye on it, and if it continues or worsens, it's a good idea to chat with a gynecologist.
