Why is my vaginal lip swollen for 5 months?
Im a 16 year old female, and one of my vaginal lips so swollen, its been like that for 5 months. It hurt a little the first week but stopped. but it definitely got bigger. It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t burn, it doesn’t smell bad, it doesn’t itch. it’s just there. it’s not red or purple, it’s normal colored. I’ve never had sex either so keep that in mind.

You have a swollen vaginal lip that has been disturbing you for a long time. Because it has been there for 5 months and it is not painful, burning, itching, or smelly it can be a harmless condition known as a Bartholin's cyst. This cyst can develop even if there has been no sexual activity. Go to a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

I had dry sex before 3 days. i have pcos but i still i get periods regaularly.. but now periods has missed... whta should i do?
Female | 20
It is not so uncommon to have a missed period if you are diagnosed with PCOS. Other causes that may lead to irregular periods can include stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. If your period still doesn't come in a week, take a pregnancy test or talk to your doctor for guidance. Irregular periods are often part of the PCOS condition, yet a gynecologist can shed more light on your overall health.

Female | 25
After a cesarean delivery, it's common to feel apprehensive about another pregnancy. Symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, or mood swings may arise, which are typical in early pregnancy. It's essential to prioritize rest, maintain a balanced diet, and stay hydrated. Regular check-ups with a gynecologist can help monitor both your wife's health and the developing baby. They will provide tailored advice, including any necessary medications.

I have bilateral pco what does it mean.. can I conceive easily
Female | 30
Having bilateral PCO involves small fluid-filled sacs called cysts in both ovaries. This hormonal imbalance can disrupt periods, causing acne and difficulties conceiving. To improve fertility chances, maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise. If conception remains challenging, your gynecologist may recommend treatments to aid ovulation.

Female | 18
Based on your description of the situation, it is conceivable that these irregular periods and negative pregnancy test results might be attributed to hormonal differences or emotional strains. It is possible that your cycle can be disrupted due to various reasons. Since you are free of any nausea or vomiting, the chances of pregnancy are minimal. However, to confirm, it is wise to consult a gynecologist who will carry out a full diagnosis to be certain of the problem.

I have a serious enquiry, I met my long distance girlfriend on the 12th November in Malaysia, I went home on the 22nd 1 Week before me flying on the 11th she had stopped taking birth control We had sex numerous times that week and on two occasions we had faulty condoms and I accidentally came inside her Both of those occasions we did it on the night and the day after she took plan B (morning after pill) The first time it happened she took the morning after pill two days before her ovulation day and the second time she took a day before I left. Do you think there is a chance she could be pregnant, if so how much % wise?
Female | 24
According to the information you have provided, there is a 1-2% chance of pregnancy when emergency contraception pills are taken correctly (e.g., plan B). Common signs of a pregnancy are a skipped period, queasiness, fatigue, and breast tenderness. Further, she can also use a pregnancy test about 3 weeks after the last time you had unprotected sex, just to make sure of that. Staying informed and taking care.

महिला | 25
Period changes can occur for a variety of reasons. Stress, imbalances in the hormones, weight changes, or even P. C. O. S. polycystic ovary syndrome may cause the period to be late. It's time to calm down, stress is only going to make things more complicated. Proper nutrition, physical activities, and sleep are important. If this happens more than once, it may be best to go to a gynecologist.

Pain in intimate area and itching..its frm last 8-9 days.
Female | 18
There is a chance of it being a yeast infection which is a very common reason for this. Other causes of this could be soap, washing powders, and tight clothes. Light clothes and mild soaps are very helpful. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can be very effective if you have a yeast infection. If the symptoms still continue, then consult a gynecologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

I am a 25 year old female who is currently 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 blighted ovums in 3 years apart. The scan has shown even this pregnancy is a blighted ovum. Is there a possibility of me having a normal pregnancy as I have had 2 blighted ovums already with 2 different partners. Please assist.
Female | 24
Blighted ovum, which is also called the synonym "anembryonic pregnancy," is a situation where a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, but the embryo does not develop. I understand your worries about having two blighted ovums one after the other were scary. The most important thing is to consult your doctor, who knows the potential causes and comes up with the possible solutions that allow you to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. You could have further examinations which are done to help decide if there is an underlying factor that is causing this to happen multiple times.

Can someone who had an abortion bleed for more than a month
Female | 26
Prolonged bleeding after an abortion is typical. The body needs time to heal properly. However, excessive bleeding, foul odor, or severe weakness requires medical attention promptly. Consulting a gynecologist ensures everything is alright and provides guidance regarding further steps. Self-care and adequate rest during recovery are crucial. Bleeding lasting over a month does not necessarily indicate complications, but monitoring symptoms carefully is advised.
