As per your details, that black slimy discharge could be­ old blood from your last period. Sometimes, you e­xperience such discharge­; typically, it's not alarming. Since your tests show normal results, major issue­s are unlikely. Howeve­r, monitor your symptoms closely. If concerns arise, consulting a gynecologist is advisable.

i had pinkish discharge like 2 week ago and now i have creamy milky white discharge today. does this mean im pregnant? should i take a test?

Female | 30

Pinkish discharge 2 weeks ago.. now milky white.. No, not necessarily pregnant.. Take a test to confirm.. Discharge changes are common. Consult doctor for concerns. HOWEVER, if the discharge comes with a FOUL ODOR or ITCHINESS, it might be an indication of an INFECTION.. In such cases, it is advisable to see a healthcare practitioner as soon as possible.. ALWAYS prioritize your reproductive health..

I need advice. Can anyone please help me. I am a female of age 20.My weight is 32 kg and height 5'2". tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 2 days and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days?Will my pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? a doctor told me to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried.

After a medical abortion, some women experience delayed bleeding or may not bleed at all initially. Retained tissue can lead to complications, so it's important to monitor your symptoms. Since you haven't bled yet, I recommend contacting your gynecologist for further evaluation. They may perform an ultrasound to check for retained tissue. The antibiotics prescribed are to prevent infection, which is essential during this time. Trust your healthcare team to guide you through this process and ensure your health is prioritized.

The first day of my last period was 22nd December 2024, and it lasted 4 days. I was supposed to start my next period on 22nd January, 2025. However, I have not had it till today (31st Jan, 2025). I had protected sex on 12th January, in which condoms were used and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. What are the chances I might be pregnant? Should I take a test? Am I just late? History of medical conditions: I have had irregular periods, i.e., a few days late in the past, and my cycles sometimes extended to 39 days. However, this is the longest cycle, and my last two periods have been shorter than usual ( 4 days instead of my usual 5 days). I had intercourse on 12th January with a barrier (condoms) and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. Previous history of current medical complaint: My periods used to be irregular, I have recently gained weight, and I suffer from facial hair growth, etc. I also have taken Plan B pills on 2 separate occasions in the last year. My longest cycle was 39 days, and periods came a couple days after the predicted date. However, this is the longest delay I've experienced in the past. Current medication details: None History of medication for the same complaint: None lab tests done: None Height, Weight Height Weight 5' 3" (160.02 cm) 167 lbs (75.75 kg)

Hello, i just had a few questions about masturbation. I was wondering if masturbating as a guy can affect confidence. I was also wondering if it can affect your immune system? Thanks

Male | 18

It is a normal and natural sexual activity that is common. It isn't associated with negative effects on confidence or self-esteem, nor does it affect the immune system.

I advise you to visit a gynecologist for a diagnosis of your current health status. It is frequently due to a number of reasons, for instance hormonal imbalance, stress, or hidden medical problems. A gynecologist can do the thorough examination and give all the needed guidance

I have an irregular periods last month i am not get periods but now the dark blood bleeding two days it's also abnormal

Female | 22

Experiencing irregular periods and changes in menstrual bleeding can be due to causes. It's common for periods to vary in terms of flow, color, and duration from time to time. Dark blood at the beginning of your period can be normal as well.

From the information given, it is highly unlikely you are pregnant. Though, it is better to see the gynecologist for more in-depth evaluation and advise
