Could spotting after protected sex indicate pregnancy for hypothyroid patients?
I'm having spotting today..I had sex with my partner..but he didn't insert his penis...the semen was spread outside..so in doubt I took ginger and papaya leaf..I'm also a hypothyroidism patient..is it a sign of pregnancy...and if so is it safe to take i-pill

Women may experience light spotting after sex, especially if their period is approaching. This is normal and not always a sign of pregnancy. Irregular periods can also be caused by mental health issues linked to hypothyroidism. While ginger and papaya are commonly used herbs, they are not reliable for preventing pregnancy. If you're worried about pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency pill like the i-pill.

Average vagina opening diameter for adults and menarche stage and prepubescent
Female | 22
The typical diameter of the vaginal opening in adults varies, generally measuring around 2-3 centimeters. During menarche and in prepubescent stages, the body undergoes significant changes. Symptoms such as discomfort or unusual sensations can arise, often due to hormonal shifts or anatomical development. Maintaining good hygiene and using water-based lubricants can improve comfort. If concerns about size or any discomfort persist, it's important to consult a gynecologist. They can provide personalized advice and address any specific issues, ensuring your well-being and helping you feel at ease with your body’s changes.

Had unprotected non penetrative sex (wearing underwear) on day 8 of menstrual cycle. Started vaginal bleeding that lasts only few minutes on day 17 and day 19 (12-10 days before periods) (Did not happen on day 18). First bleeding started with red color then started spotting brown. Confused whether it's spotting before periods or implantation bleeding.
Female | 20
It is impossible to know whether the bleeding occurred because of premenstrual spotting or implantation blood without a physical examination. To get a clear idea, plz visist a gynecologist

My periods are on one day only
Female | 30
One-day periods are often linked to hormone shifts, stress, or medical issues. Light spotting, cramps, and irregular cycles might occur. Managing stress through yoga, and deep breaths can assist. Having a nutritious diet and staying hydrated can also help. If the problem doesn't stop, consult a gynecologist for advice.

Improper periods, pimples due to periods, mood swings
Female | 21
These are common symptoms experienced by some women during their menstrual cycle. Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation can lead to irregular periods, skin breakouts, and changes in mood and emotions. Irregular periods are also a cause of pcos. Get a proper evaluation from a gynecologist.

I am 32 years old I wanted to consult a gynecologist I have missed my periods and wanted to know when to take pregnancy test??
Female | 32
Remember that not having periods could happen for many different reasons, one of which is being pregnant. If you missed your period, it would be good to wait for at least a week after its due date before doing a pregnancy test. This gives enough time for the body to create the pregnancy hormone that the test detects. If the result shows positive, ensure to see a gynecologist for further advice.

I had unprotected sex on 5th of January within 1hour i took ipill then from 6th to 8th i had protected sex but still I took ipill am i safe or there is any chance for pregnancy
Female | 26
After taking emergency contraception like the i-Pill, it’s common to experience side effects such as changes in your menstrual cycle, nausea, or fatigue. Since you used protection afterward, the risk of pregnancy is significantly reduced. However, no method is 100% effective. It’s important to watch for symptoms like a missed period. If you have concerns or experience unusual symptoms, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and support.

Female | 17
Pregnancy symptoms normally do not appear until a few weeks after unprotected sex. Nevertheless, if you are experiencing some stress, you might want to take a pregnancy test around 3 weeks after the sex.

I have developed wart like growth in cluster on my genital area(external labia) since last two months. Not sure if it is STI or something else. The last time I got sexually active was in august 2023, we used protection and didn't have multiple partners. Please let me know if i should visit a gynac or dermat?
Female | 28
The lumps you mentioned seeing around your private parts may be genital warts. They are caused by a virus known as HPV that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Even with protection, one can get HPV. To deal with this, you need to see a gynecologist who will diagnose you properly and suggest treatment options.

missed periods ...................................................................
Female | 19
Variant reasons can come up with missing menstruation, like stress, fluctuations in weight, or hormonal deficiencies that cause it. If you haven't had your period, try to watch for other symptoms that may have come along with it, such as headaches or mood swings. If you worry, it's better to go and talk to someone you feel secure with, such as a parent or school nurse, who can then show you what to do to be of better help to yourself.

Hello I'm 18 years old . A month ago I started taking hormones pills like endsist and krimson 35 prescribed by my doctor. This month instead of having periods I'm having just spotting. Is it serious. I have missed the doses twice or thrice
Female | 18
It's quite common to experience some changes during the initial stage of consuming hormones such as endsist and Krimson 35. Here the spotting you would encounter can be underscored in several different ways. The usual case is that your body is responding well to these hormones. Skipping a few doses could also have an impact on your menstrual cycle. If the spotting is prolonged or occurs along with other symptoms like pain, directly speak to your gynecologist. They will provide the best way to handle it.

Female | 39
Light bleeding in this early phase can be a little tricky. The symptoms you listed like headache, nausea, and fatigue can be common in either case. If you are in doubt or have some concerns, it is really a good way to contact your gynecologist for individualized advice and guidance. They will be with you to get to the bottom of it and find the best possible treatment for you.

If chymozip plus tablet is there any side effects for breastfeeding mothers and kids
Female | 26
Chymozip plus pills can produce detrimental effects on both mothers and their breastfed infants. For mothers, these effects include stomach pain, diarrhea, or allergies. However, it is found that the infant's tummy troubles or even skin rash are among the side effects. My strongest advice, however, is to consult your gynecologist before taking any medication while breastfeeding. They might suggest some other meds that are safer for you and your baby.

Female | 21
Your PCOS can present with symptoms like headaches, body pain, and digestive issues along with irregular periods. PCOS can lead to hormonal imbalances that alter your menstrual cycle. It's crucial to manage your symptoms by following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Your gynecologist can give you the right advice when you visit them for more help.

Female | 24
I would recommend that you see an obstetrician right away. Slow fetal growth may signal a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Tests and ultrasounds can be run by an obstetrician in order to find the core of this problem. Thus, it is crucial to seek help from an expert obstetrician who can provide the correct diagnosis and treatment.

In this february, I suddenly missed the period. My thyroid is normal. My usg uterus report is also normal..i am not pregnant. I gained weight 15 kg. What is the reason??
Female | 26
Not having your period when you're not expecting can occur for various reasons. One common factor is weight gain, especially significant like 15 kg. Rapid weight increase sometimes disrupts hormones causing irregular periods. Maintaining a healthy weight through a proper diet and exercise is key. If irregular periods persist, consulting a gynecologist for evaluation is wise.

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.
