Experiencing old black period blood - what should I do?
I'm experiencing old blood (black in colour)during my period from the first day to the fourth day(today)and the flow is same.Also it's the first time this has happened. I'm not bleeding fresh blood, which is concerning. What should I do?Typically, I bleed old blood only on the first day of my period, and by the night of the first day, I start to bleed fresh blood. However, this time, that's not the case, and it's now my fourth day, with only a small amount of old blood compared to my previous menstrual cycles

Old blood appears darker in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or frequent. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is understandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. However, monitor such occurrences. Take advice from healthcare providers if the issue doesn't resolve itself. Sudden changes demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

I am a 36 year old female. I sometimes see blood while peeing, what could the cause and the remedy doctor?
Female | 36
Having blood in your urine can be frightening, however, don’t panic. The most likely reason is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Symptoms might include pain with urination, having a frequent urge to urinate, and urine that is cloudy or smelly. Drink plenty of water to flush out the infection. Nevertheless, it is important to see a urologist so they can offer proper diagnosis and treatment.

About unwanted pregnancy
Female | 20
An unwanted pregnancy is an occurrence when the woman gets pregnant purposefully without any prior planning. The symptoms may encompass missing periods or getting the sensation of being nauseous. This may ensue when either the birth control methods are improperly followed or they fail. If this is the case, visiting a gynecologist is one of the most important things.

I am not having period since nov 2023
Female | 17
Your period has stopped since November 2023. This may worry you. Periods can stop due to stress or big weight changes. They may also stop from hormone problems. Or, an illness could cause missed periods. If more months pass without a period, see a doctor. A gynecologist knows periods well. They'll discover why yours stopped. Then, they'll help make your periods regular again.

Female | 25
You may have noted some abnormal bleeding after taking the unwanted kit. Often, these medications can cause the menstrual cycle to become irregular and even lead to changes in the bleeding pattern. The dark lines on the pregnancy test could indicate hormonal alterations as well. Since you've already experienced some bleeding, it's good to monitor your symptoms and visit a gynecologist for proper evaluation and guidance. Always taking a pregnancy test one more time might be beneficial to monitor any developments.

I got a Pap smear on Wednesday(06/05) and im still spotting(06/08) is that normal?
Female | 21
Bleeding a bit after a Pap smear is perfectly normal so don’t be scared. Your body may be a little sensitive from the test. The cervix can be touched with a swab and this may cause some spotting too. If the bleeding is light and goes away within a few days, there’s usually nothing to worry about. Be sure to drink lots of water and get some rest. If it’s heavy or lasts longer than a few days then contact a gynecologist.

Mera period time pe aya but bleeding bikul nhi hua ,iska kya karan hai ,isse darne bale bat nhi na hai
Female | 21
It’s not uncommon for your period to show up on schedule but be light. It might be because of stress, a hormone imbalance, extreme weight loss, or a change in your routine. These things can all impact your menstrual cycle. Take care of yourself by relaxing, eating well, and getting enough sleep. If this keeps happening then speaking with a gynecologist would be wise to check if everything is alright.

Can we take simrose1000 tablet during periods
Female | 39
This tablet is the one that includes a substance that minimizes pain and discomfort. Period pain is the result of the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. Muscle relaxants are used to successfully relieve the pain of the uterus. It should also be remembered that the recommended dosage is strictly to be followed even though you buy it as an over-the-counter medicine. The ingestion of food should be done prior to taking the tablet, as long as there is nothing else you can avoid this way that could cause stomach upset.

If you are not planning a pregnancy and you missed your period just after the last cycle of your sexual intercourse, there is a likelihood that you could be pregnant. However, there are also other factors that could be responsible for the menstrual delay like high levels of stress or hormonal imbalances. It would be recommendable to take a pregnancy test and see a gynecologist to get more information

Do ipill delay periods? How effective is an ipill tablet when taken between 48-72 hours? And for how long can they delay periods and when should I opt for a preg. Test? After sex, she got her periods after 3-4 days (for 3 days which is normal in her case) and they were painless this time with clots. Was that the withdrawal bleeding? It's been a month and 7 days since last that last bleeding and she hasn't got her periods yet. Is it a possible pregnancy? (p.s sex happened on the day she was supposed to get her periods)
Female | 20
Does ipill delay periods? Yes if taken properly as prescribed periods delay due to ipill. The effectiveness of the i-pill decreases the longer you wait to take it and taking it within 48-72 hours is the most effective time frame.If your concerned do a pregnancy test around 2-3 weeks after the date of the last unprotected intercourse. This will give the most accurate result.

I am 17 yrs old female i am facing brown discharge from 9 days and it was my period date when it started i am not taking any medicine its not painless and i am not even feeling any other symptoms. I just want to know is there anything to worry about?
Female | 17
Several different things can cause brown discharge. At other times, it comes from the part of your body that filters the blood, leaving behind scabs. It might be just at the start or the end of your period. It could be hormone alterations in some cases. If, for example, you don't have any pain or other strange symptoms, then you probably don't have any serious problems. Visit a gynecologist if the problem persists.
