It's normal for breasts to feel sore before your period. If we look at all the symptoms we can easily say it's a hormonal thing. But if it's just your left breast that's hurting a lot then the reason can be something other than injury or infection. Try wearing a supportive bra, avoiding sleeping on your left side, and using warm compresses for relief. If the pain doesn't go away, go to a gynecologist for help.

Female | 36
Irregular periods can occur due to hormonal fluctuations or stress. The medication you took may help regulate your cycle, but individual responses can vary. Monitor your cycle in the upcoming months. If you notice any unusual patterns, such as frequent periods or significant changes, it’s wise to consult your gynecologist. They can provide personalized insights and reassurance based on your health history.

Hi , I have been having problems since two months ago. I feel pain during sex , there are certain positions that make me feel that pain. I also get tearing everytime after sex.
Female | 20
Experiencing pain and tearing after sex could mean vaginismus, a condition where vaginal muscles tighten involuntarily. Ouch! It's crucial to talk to a gynecologist – they'll diagnose the issue properly.

Female | 18
Stress, dietary changes, and hormonal imbalance are some reasons that lead to changes in the menstrual cycle. You might have ginger water to thank for aiding your period's normality to some extent. In the absence of a pregnancy test, the uncertainty is inevitable. Keep an eye on nausea, fatigue, or swollenness of the breasts for signs of pregnancy. To be on the safe side, look out for frequent urinating, food cravings, and mood swings too, if any of these show up. If you experience any other symptoms or your period is delayed again, it's better to consult a gynecologist.

Female | 23
It is not uncommon to experience some discomfort during pregnancy, but pain on the left side of your stomach going down to your vagina should be evaluated. It could be due to round ligament pain or other issues that need attention. Please consult your gynecologist for a thorough examination and appropriate advice.

I’m a 18 year old female. I had sex 3 days ago, not my first time, I bled a little but I’m still bleeding lightly even after 2 days. It’s light blood mixed with my own clear vaginal discharge. No bad smell.
Female | 18
It is not uncommon at all if some women start bleeding a little during or after sex, especially if it is not their first time. The presence of light blood combined with transparent mucus may indicate that your vagina has a small cut or is irritated. This is normal, so do not worry; wait for a few days until everything heals. However, if the bleeding does not stop or becomes heavier, you should see a gynecologist as soon as possible.

Taking the iPill can sometimes cause irregular periods due to hormonal changes. It's common to experience delayed periods after using emergency contraception. For regular periods, it's best to consult a gynecologist who can provide personalized advice and treatment.

Female | 21
Missed periods after sexual activity raises pregnancy concerns. However, stress, hormonal issues, or weight fluctuations could also disrupt menstruation. A pregnancy test offers clarity. If negative, consulting a gynecologist is advisable for proper diagnosis and guidance. Ruling out pregnancy initially remains crucial in such situations.

What should I do if my lack of sleep gets worse and why am 19yrs old and haven't started a period
Female | 19
If your sleep problem is getting worse, it will be necessary to consult a sleep specialist or medical professional who can discover and treat the causes of sleep disturbance that contribute to your sleep problems. Moreover, it’s not unusual for some young women to experience menstruation cycles, which start later than expected. On the one hand, it is recommended to make an appointment with a gynecologist or an endocrinologist in order to get the right diagnosis and verify the proper management of the condition.

I am pcos patient,today i made a tvs where i find enlarged ovaries,bilateral cyst.i have continued birth control pills for 6 month from october i stoped it.
Female | 28
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often leads to enlarged ovaries and cyst development. Hormonal imbalances are typically responsible for these symptoms, which can affect menstruation, weight, and overall well-being. Since you've recently stopped birth control pills, it might take time for your hormonal levels to stabilize. It's essential to monitor your symptoms and maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and possible treatments, ensuring your health is managed effectively.

I had been diagnosed with cystitis a month or 2 back, i took my medication and it went away but now it comes and goes, is it possible that it didnt clear away the first time ?
Male | 24
Your cystitis returned because the infection persisted. Some bacteria survived the first treatment. Cystitis causes frequent urination urges. You feel a painful burning sensation when peeing. To treat it thoroughly, you need antibiotics prescribed by a urologist. The urinary tract infection wasn't fully eliminated earlier. So revisit your doctor promptly for proper medication to clear the remaining bacteria. Persistent symptoms like urgency, burning, and frequent bathroom trips indicate active cystitis.

Female | 19
Missing your period for two months in a row can be concerning, but it's important to stay calm. Many factors can cause this, like stress, weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. It's essential to note any other symptoms and reduce stress while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If the situation continues, it's wise to consult a gynecologist for further advice and to find out the cause.

Female | 19
The cause of swollen tonsils and itchiness after a tampon could be an irritation or infection. Since you haven't talked about any other symptoms, it's less likely to be an STD. Use another brand of tampon and monitor your symptoms. If the situation does not improve, consult a gynecologist.

Sometimes your period comes late. That's normal. Stress, routine changes, or birth control pills can cause delays. Wait a week after your missed period. Then, take a pregnancy test. If it's negative and no period, visit a gynecologist.
