It seems like you have a lot of bleeding that lasts longer than normal and it's very bad for you. The reasons for the irregular periods and heavy bleeding could be the hormonal imbalance in PCOS. Missing doses of the drugs which were prescribed might have led to the continuous bleeding. The medicine has to be taken on time and in the same way as the doctor has prescribed to control the bleeding. You should discuss with a gynecologist for proper treatment.

I am using vaginal pessaries since 3 days as I have yeast infection. But today I got my periods. Can i still use vaginal pessaries Or i should stop using it??

Female | 22

While me­nstruating, it's fine to continue using vaginal pessarie­s. Yeast infections may cause discomfort like­ itching, burning, and abnormal discharge. Pessaries de­liver medication directly whe­re neede­d, treating the infection. Follow usage­ instructions for pessaries during your period.

18 year old girl who have been staying with his boyfriend but I went to my periods on 25 of December but just after 5 days I started having cramps and it's been 6 days and the painkillers are not working at the same time we were having unprotected sex

Female | 18

It's not uncommon to experience cramps after your period, especially with hormonal changes, stress, or if you've had unprotected intercourse. Pain that lingers and is unresponsive to over-the-counter medications warrants further attention. I encourage you to keep a record of your symptoms, including their intensity and any additional concerns, like changes in your cycle. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential to rule out any underlying issues and to receive suitable pain management. Remember, it's always best to seek personalized advice from a doctor who can address your specific situation thoroughly. Your health and comfort are important.

Why is it that I am not getting my periods after having sex yet I took backup emergency pills

Female | 22

Emergency pills can alter menstrual cycle.. Common side effect. Some women may not get their period on time. Wait for at least a week or two. Take a pregnancy test to confirm. Consult with a medical professional if concerned.

Hi I'm pregnant and dnt know how far iam my last period was on 21 October

Female | 34

BASED ON YOUR LAST PERIOD, you may be around 6-8 WEEKS PREGNANT.. However, ONLY AN ULTRASOUND can give you the exact DUE DATE.. It's important to SCHEDULE your FIRST PRENATAL APPOINTMENT with a HEALTHCARE PROVIDER and start TAKING PRENATAL VITAMINS.. AVOID SMOKING, ALCOHOL, and harmful MEDICATIONS.. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, rest when needed, and MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET.... CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!!

I had unprotected intercourse on May 5th and i took ipill on 7th May , but still I hvent got my periods so what should I do

Female | 17

After taking the i-pill on May 7th following unprotected intercourse, a delay in your period can occur due to the pill's hormonal effects. To address concerns, take a pregnancy test if your period is overdue.

I am 25 old. I suffering from bilateral ovaries show pcod changes ()L>R),thickened endometrium measuring -23mm,grade -2 fatty liver.

Female | 25

Obesity, particularly central adiposity and insulin resistance are the main factors linked to NAFLD in PCOS. Existing data suggests that excess of androgen, the main feature of PCOS and is interconnected to insulin resistance, can be considered as additional causative factor in development of NAFLD.

Lifestyle changes include low-fat diet, weight loss and exercise are considered to be suitable for management of PCOS patients with NAFLD. In case pharmacologic therapy, metformin or pioglitazone and Vitamin A is usually prescribed.

I'm having brownish blood discharge after 5 months of c section is there any thing I need to work?

Female | 24

Brownish discharge after the c-section could be a symptom of infection or endometriosis. Talk to your gynecologist she may conduct a pelvic exam to diagnose the root cause of the pain and to offer you appropriate treatment.

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .

Female | 23

Eve­n if complete insertion didn't occur, pre­gnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still re­ach the egg. Immediate­ symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or bre­ast tenderness could be­ early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provide­s confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't pre­clude pregnancy.
