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 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.

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.

It would be advisable to seek the help of a gynecologist or a fertility specialist if you are experiencing difficulty in conceiving. They may ask you for some tests to evaluate the root cause and come up with suitable treatment options.
