I am having periods more then 7 days so how can I Stop them and finish soon.
Female | 21
Experiencing heavy bleeding for over seven days might be difficult, yet, we can aid in the situation. This could occur as a result of hormonal imbalances or some medical conditions like fibroids or polyps. Possibly consider using birth control pills or other medications to help regulate your periods. Eating a balanced diet and drinking enough water are also important. If it's a prolonged condition, see a gynecologist who will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.

Please my depo shot end last year Dec and my period return on the January till now with 28days circle length but i cannot get pregnant
Female | 33
Your menstrual cycle is back on track and that’s good. But it can be disappointing if you don’t get pregnant. This could be due to problems with your ovulation or your partner’s semen. Stress, gaining or losing too much weight, and health issues might also have an effect. Track your ovulation, maintain a healthy weight, and see a gynecologist regularly.

Female | 21
4 months of missed periods at 21 years old is abnormal. All these appear to be connected with weight loss, hair fall and stress. Set up an appointment with a doctor to review possible causes and possible treatment.

I have late periods and now I am getting very cloudy urination
Female | 30
Your monthly cycle being late and urine looking cloudy could indicate health issues. Reasons for delayed periods include hormonal imbalances, anxiety, or pregnancy. Murky urine may signal an infection. Additional warning signs are painful urination, frequent urge to pee, or fever. Increasing water intake helps clear your urine. However, visiting a gynecologist and appropriate treatment is crucial to address underlying causes.

I want to know if my hymen is still intact
Female | 17
I suggest that you make an appointment to see a gynecologist who will be able to look at your hymen and tell if it is intact or not. However, it is important to remember that the presence or absence of a hymen is not the only factor in determining virginity since several factors can lead to the hymen tearing or not being present.

Female | 22
Your friend took the i pill, sometimes it can make her period arrive earlier or later - that's typical. She took the pill 5 days ago, so her period might come within the next week. The i pill can sometimes change the menstrual cycle. If her period doesn't arrive after a week or two, she should contact a gynecologist to ensure everything is right.

There could be an issue with vaginal discharge. Leukorrhea is increased discharge from hormones, infections, or irritants. Signs are changes in color, smell, itchiness, or discomfort. Wear cotton underwear, keep clean, avoid scented products near your vagina. If discharge seems abnormal or doesn't stop, get checked by a gynecologist.

Female | 31
It's crucial you take prescribed meds, mainly during pregnancy. Spotting red blood seems problematic. Missing a progesterone tablet may mess with hormone levels, thus causing the spotting episode. Promptly contact your gynecologist about missed doses and the spotting.

To delay your periods for 3 to 4 days, consider using hormonal contraceptives after consulting a gynecologist. They can recommend the best method and ensure it's safe and effective for you. Follow their guidance to regulate your menstrual cycle accordingly.

Female | 33
You are undergoing some pain in the lower belly and back along with white discharge. There is a possibility that these symptoms result from an infection or a problem with your reproductive organs. On the other hand, the imbalance of hormones can also lead to these issues. For a more precise diagnosis, consultation with a gynecologist is necessary. The doctor will be capable of helping you pinpoint the reason for the discomfort and suggest the best treatment course for you.

I had unprotected sex may 25th and then two hours later I took a plan b. Then a week later I had it unprotected again he didn’t cum and wasn’t even close and I didn’t take anything. I was getting worried and decided to take a pregnancy test and it was negative. The test I took was a first response test which can tell you early. Then I took an EPT branded pregnancy test and that was also negative. I did it yesterday and this was a week from my period. I just want to know if those results are something I should rely on? Can they be right if they are specifically for early testing?
Female | 18
In case you didn’t know, a not positive report from First Response brand or EPT brand kits is a good thing. This is because they can identify pregnancy hormones early, enabling you to trust the results. However, it is recommended that you seek further guidance from a gynecologist if you have any concerns or start feeling unwell.

Female | 20
Missing periods may be caused by one of the many reasons. Stress, dressings in weight, hormonal imbalances, or even excessive exercise can be the causes of it. The most common are having abdominal distension or being easily fatigued. To stay healthy, you should try to relax, eat well, and avoid an unhealthy routine. If your periods don't reappear soon, seeing a gynecologist for more advice is a good idea.

I am unmarried and experiencing breast pain and my breast are producing milk when I press them is it some infection or something else
Female | 26
The breast pain and milk production you described seem worrying. This may be galactorrhea - milk from breasts without pregnancy or nursing. Hormonal issues, certain meds, or thyroid/pituitary problems could cause it. Visiting a gynecologist is wise for evaluation and proper care.
