Why am I experiencing painful cramps and prolonged menstruation after going off birth control?

Patient's Query

I was out on birth control last month and I’m on my second pack. I got my period but I’m experiencing painful cramps and have been menstruating for over a week

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

It is quite common to have cramps and the first few days of the next pill pack are more difficult. However, if the pain is either severe or has persisted for days, it is better to make an appointment with a gynecologist to be diagnosed and/or directed properly.

Fist time sex kiya uskay baad thori thori bleeding horahi hy Ye kab tak rahay gee ye normal hy

Female | 24

Aap ka concern samajhna zaroori hai. Pehli baar intimate relation ke baad halki bleeding aam tor par mukhtalif wajah se hoti hai, jese ke vaginal tissue ke khichne ya injury ke karan. Ye aam tor par kuch din tak chal sakti hai. Agar bleeding zyada, dard ya dusre unusual lagne wale symptoms hain, to doctor se mashwara lena behtar hoga. Ek gynecologist aap ki achi tarah guide kar sakta hai aur koi bhi necessary tests kar sakta hai.

Why my vagina is white discharge so much and smell so foul and so much stomach pain

Female | 19

A yeast infe­ction might explain your symptoms. With this condition, thick white discharge and an unple­asant odor often occur in the vaginal area. Abdominal discomfort fre­quently accompanies yeast infe­ctions too. Certain factors like antibiotic use or tight clothing can disrupt the­ body's natural balance, leading to overgrowth of ye­ast. Over-the-counter antifungal cre­ams can be effective­ treatments for restoring balance­ and clearing the infection.

I'm pregnant, I have pocs as well as a retroverted uterus with a prolapse. Is my pregnancy safe?

Female | 30

Dear Angharad, I enjoy your good news of having a baby. Do not worry about your pregnancy; chances are that you will be a happy and healthy mom. The connection between PCOS and a tilted uterus can be an obstacle, but women in such a situation have had successful pregnancies. Your gynecologist should be kept informed of any abnormal abominable feelings, any unfamiliar discharge, and an exaggerated menstrual cycle: your baby and your health. Yoga, Pilates, and swimming are the most gentle and effective activities whether or not you were expecting to be in this condition or not, they work for all people.

Hello, Doctor. My sister recently had an abortion, and we're looking for clarification on the results. Could you please explain the outcome and any follow-up steps or care she should take?"

Female | 22

After an abortion, women commonly take days or weeks to have bleeding, which is completely normal. Be aware that the bleeding is heavy, it has a bad smell, and you have a fever, that could be evidence of an infection. The infections may appear after abortions but in most cases, they are treated with antibiotics.

You should go to a gynecologist for careful evaluation and proper advice on the contraceptive method that will suit you. The improper use of any medication may cause your health to deteriorate and suffer.

If I have unprotected sex 3 days before my periods will I still get them

Female | 20

There is still the possibility of getting pregnant if you have had unprotected sex three days before your period is due. This is because sperm can live for a few days inside the body. Not having your period might be a sign that you are pregnant. If you’re worried, after missing a period you can take a pregnancy test to find out for sure.
