My periods date was 10 I wanted to delay my periods till 16 so I drink apple cider vinegar 3 times yesterday now today I spotted blood
Female | 19
When you took apple cider vinegar to postpone your period, it may have had an impact on your body. If you notice any blood after that, it could be due to the vinegar interfering with your menstrual cycle. This isn’t very common but it can happen. It would be better not to do this with apple cider vinegar again. Your body will probably return to its normal state before long.

I am 9 weeks pregnant and i have been done vomiting 3 to 4 time a day and doctor recommends some medicine like DOXINATE should I take this medicine and how much.
Female | 32
Yes, it is common to experience illness or vomit several times during the first months of pregnancy. This is the morning sickness phenomenon. It can be annoying, believe me, but don't worry; it will pass. Your gynecologist may have recommended a drug called Doxinate to you for alleviating your symptoms. It is safe for pregnant women and can also help you vomit less.

I got my period on December 15, and they are still ongoing. This has never happened before; earlier, my periods used to last only a week.
Female | 17
One of the causes of prolonged bleeding is hormonal problems, stress, or other health complications. It is advisable to monitor your symptoms very closely including pain and changes in the amount of blood. If your period does not stop in a week or if you have severe symptoms, it is better to go see a gynecologist. They can provide you with an individualized approach and will do tests if needed for clarification.

It has been 24 days passed for sexual intercourse and even I got my periods after that is it possible to get pregnant after getting periods as there is stomach pain
Female | 21
Stomach pain after intercourse and getting your period can have different causes. Stomach pain sometimes occurs even after your period if you have an infection or there are problems with your reproductive organs. If you were involved in intercourse without protection, although the chances are not so high, you might still be pregnant despite your period. Other causes of pain include both diagnosed problems and undiagnosed physical conditions. For that matter, taking a pregnancy test or seeing your gynecologist is another option.

Mam mujhe kl period huye 1st day tha bleeding kam hori 1 hour hui fil stop fil night m hui or aj second day h bleeding kam hori h esa kyu
Female | Riya
Periods can vary widely in flow and duration, especially during the initial days. It's not uncommon to experience lighter bleeding at different times, which can be influenced by factors like stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle. As your menstruation progresses, the intensity can shift. To help manage your comfort, ensure you're hydrated and maintain a balanced diet. If light bleeding continues or if you have other concerning symptoms, it’s wise to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying issues.

How do l stop my period now .....l am going for my honeymoon and l really don't want to disappoint my husband
Female | 28
Hormonal birth control methods, such as pills or patches, can help delay menstruation; starting a new pack immediately may be effective. Some people also find that certain medications prescribed by gynecologists can assist in this. They can provide personalized advice based on your health history and needs, ensuring both safety and efficacy.

Female | 30
The non-arrival of periods can occur for several reasons, such as hormonal imbalance, stress, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions. Once a person decides to conceive, it is the first thing they need to check out their health. Along with nutrition, exercise, and sleep are also beneficial. Identifying underlying problems is important, so consulting a gynecologist is always the best solution.

I am 21 year old and I am having a menstrual issue. It's running over seven day what could cause it
Female | 21
If your menstrual cycle is lasting longer than usual, it might be a condition called menorrhagia. This means heavy bleeding for more than 7 days and can be due to hormone issues, fibroids, or certain medications. It's important to see a gynecologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex but on 4th July 2024, I gave him oral and then kissed him on the lips with his precum on my lips. And then he went down on me. Is there a chance of pregnancy? I took unwanted 72 under 48 hours. My periods due date is near. I saw very light bleeding in my vagina in the morning thinking it’s periods but I don’t get very light periods and my periods are irregular. So I took the pill and after 6 hours of taking the pill , I can still see some light red blood spots on the toilet paper. Is it normal or is it ovulation bleeding? Is it because I took the pill on the day of my period? And will i have withdrawal blood if the sperm didn’t went inside my vagina? I’m feeling very dry vagina with minimum discharge. Should I take a pregnancy test? And why am I facing these blood spots?
Female | 19
The probability of pregnancy from the situation you described was quite low because you took the necessary measures after the unprotected encounter. Although light bleeding might have been caused by the pill's side effects, like irregular bleeding, this is not a sign of pregnancy. This idolizes the truth that hormonal changes can cause such and such. It is common and does not mean you are pregnant. If you're worried, taking a pregnancy test can provide reassurance.

I have my perioda issue .. i get it twice in a month .. i had diagonisse with pcos before
Female | 24
This is mostly because of PCOS. The classic signs range from irregular periods which indicate the cycle going more often than usual to other symptoms such as acne and weight gain. PCOS happens when a woman's hormones are imbalanced. It's important to talk to a gynecologist who can help you manage this problem.

My menstrual cycle is not getting less than 6 months
Female | 25
Experiencing infrequent menstrual cycles can be linked to various factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, or medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Common symptoms to watch for include irregular bleeding, pain, or changes in mood. It’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. Tracking your cycle can also help identify any patterns. However, given the duration of your situation, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist. They can provide an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment options, ensuring your well-being is prioritized.

Female | 17
Implantation bleeding tends to happen around 6-12 days after conceiving and is typically presented by light spotting which lasts for a short time. If there is a doubt regarding irregular menstrual cycle or unusual bleeding, consult your gynecologist.

Female | 24
With a new medication, it's common to have some changes in the menstrual cycle. However, the body requires some time to acclimate to the hormones present in the medicine. Besides, spotting or having light periods can also occur. Your gynecologist will have you on the medication for three months, so stick with that. Give your body a period to acclimatize to the drug.

what are the different symptoms of pregnancy and period
Female | 21
Let's discuss pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms. Symptoms of being pregnant may range from feeling sick to the stomach, being very tired, having sore breasts, and missing your monthly menstrual cycle. Cramps, bloating, and mood changes are all signs that a woman is about to get her period. This occurs due to hormonal changes in her body. You can use a hot water bottle or try drinking more fluids if you find it hard to deal with these symptoms.

What can I use to stop the bleeding because I am on a depo birth control injection what pill can I use just to be safe
Female | 19
If you see any blood while taking the Depo birth control shot it is likely that you will experience abnormal bleeding in the first months. If the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, you will be able to get over-the-counter drugs e.g. ibuprofen to make the bleeding less. It is better to drink a lot of water and take a good rest. If nothing helps, or you get worse, discuss the situation with your gynecologist for appropriate advice.

I had sex after the 6th day of my cycle and then took an I-pill after 72 hr of sex but now I am 7 days late. Am I pregnant??
Female | 24
Getting late periods does not always signal pregnancy, so don't worry. The emergency contraceptive pill can disrupt your menstrual cycle, causing delays. Stress, illness, weight fluctuations - these factors impact periods too. If still concerned, take a pregnancy test at home for reassurance.
