There have been some changes in your period recently. Physical symptoms like the typical period cramps and light flow are among the leading causes. Stress, changes in diet, the environment you live in, or hormonal imbalances are a few potential causes of this kind of pain. It is a must to exercise self-care, eat well, drink more water, and take rest. If symptoms are there regardless it could be helpful if you get advice from a gynecologist.

Mam mere periods 21 April ko aye the or mene sex karte time husband ne sperm bahar Kiya tha phir bhi periods miss ho gye hai

Female | 15/12/2003

There are many potential causes for this, but one is especially common: stress. When stressed out, it can throw your whole cycle off, leading to a late period. Missed periods can also be due to fluctuating hormones. If you’re concerned about being pregnant take an at-home test.

I had my Feb periods on 7th and after that I had an intercourse on 24th Feb...for my March periods it should date on 5th which is usually 2-3 days before from the last periods cycle. But on 6th March I am feeling cramp since morning and little red or brownish bleeding. I am confused of it is implantation bleeding or my regular periods

Female | 25

You may have implantation ble­eding. This light spotting occurs when a fertilize­d egg attaches itself to the­ uterus lining. Mild cramps can accompany it too. However, it might be­ your period starting as well. Pay close atte­ntion to the flow and intensity. If blee­ding becomes heavie­r like a normal period, then it probably isn't implantation. Eve­ry person's cycle is unique though.

A negligible amount of precum might have come near vagina wall. Is it necessary to take ipills ?

Female | 20

The likelihood of pregnancy from precum alone is generally considered low. If you're concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, you may want to consider taking contraceptives.These pills are most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, preferably within the first 24-72 hours

LIGHT PERIODS LASTING 2 days are common and normal.. The average menstrual cycle is 28 day. A normal period can last 2-7 days, with average blood loss around 30-40ml. Anemia, STRESS, hormonal IMBALANCE, and pregnancy can cause light periods. If concerned, consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause.

Bleeding through after menopause is not a normal occurrence and may be an indication of another serious disease.

I'm sher from Pakistan. We have been 4 years being married but my wife couldn't conceive, according to doctors, the eggs problem.. !

Female | 28

I recommend you to see a gynecologist or a reproductive endocrinologist for consultation. They will be able to find out the reason for your wife being infertile and will offer different possible solutions. If it comes to egg concerns, then the fertility doctor can recommend some assisted reproductive techniques such as egg donation or IVF.

I have pelvic cramps for over a year now. I tested positive for strep B and now wonder whether I could have pelvic inflammatory disease. I was put on doxycycline and metronizdale as a precaution, which was stopped after 7 days because my STD screening was negative, However, now my cramps feel worse.

Female | 19

Get a thorough evaluation done as Pelvic cramps are caused due to some reasons. While it's challenging to provide a definitive solution without a proper examination, here are a few possibilities that you may consider - Pelvic inflammatory disease, gynecological conditions, or musculoskeletal issues can result in cramps and discomfort.

Hi Doctor, I am Shweta. 42 years old. Recently i have gone thru my full body checkup. There was a test CA 125 - my range is 35.10 should i worry about this. I am healthy person with normal periods. please help

Female | 42

A CA 125 level of 35.10 is within the normal reference range for most laboratories, as the normal range can vary slightly depending on the testing facility. Generally a value below 35 U/mL is considered normal. 
CA 125 is a protein marker that can be measured in the blood. It's primarily used as a tumor marker for ovarian cancer but it can also be elevated in certain other conditions.
