Answered on 27th Sept '24
Heavy bleeding between periods can indicate underlying issues. It may be due to hormonal imbalances or growths in the uterus. Symptoms include prolonged periods, spotting between cycles, and irregular cycle lengths. It's important to see your gynecologist to identify the cause. Treatment options may involve hormones or surgery, helping to restore balance and provide relief.

35 Female with lower abdominal pains below the belly button, bilateral(on both the left and right sides) unilateral in nature(where one sided pain occurs). Sharp and pinpoint to same location for both left and right sides, directly across from each other. happening since October 2021, coincided with period first occurrence on right side 2021 thought it was a cyst at first. Went away until the second occurrence on June 19th, 2022(period cycle then was June 8th - 16th), right side. Went away and returned September 25th, 2022 on left side this time(period cycle for September 2022 was the 3rd through 11th), it occurred again in January 7th 2023 on the right side(period cycle for January 2023 a skipped period) at this point I still thought it was was cyst like pain or even ovulation pain bothering me,so I went to gynecologist, they thought it could be large intestine related due to the location of the pains. I got an ultrasound that came back normal in February of 2023. The same day i had the ultrasound, I went to medexpress to get my physical for my driver's permit, and they suggested asking my previous pcp for a ct scan, to check my appendix. It was hard to get into my previous pcp as I didn't see them in 3 years so I wasn't established. I reached out to the gynecologist I saw in january of 2023, in June 2023 when I had another occurrence of the pain, to see about getting a ct scan. It was approved by insurance, but ultimately denied under physician review( by the supervising gynecologist, and my previous pcp, because my ultrasound was normal). I then established care in December of 2023, with a new pcpx who is suspicious that my pains are coming from ibs mixed with spasms. I am taking dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day as needed, but it's not really doing anything when the pains occur. My pcp also changed my dicyclomine to a 45 day supply as I asked in a different question. I also met with a surgeon in March of 2024 due to a large gallstone, as my pcp said they were common in people my age. The surgeon gave a complete different answer than what I have been given before, and he thought my pains could be coming from endometriosis. The surgeon performed my cholecystectomy, on May 29th, and did a general exploration during it, but found no endometriosis. My pcp still suggested getting an evaluation for endometriosis just to know we didn't miss anything, as well as getting evaluated by a gastroenterologist. As my pains have still been continuing. What could these pains be coming from? I feel like I will be tossed back and forth between gynecology and gastroenterology, and I don't want that at all. Some helpful info: My new pcp also diagnosed me with pcos as I fit the criteria for it with my irregular period cycles, despite my bloodwork and ultrasound coming back normal. I also had the cbc; comprehensive metabolic panel; celiac; thyroid; A1C; ESR; and C-Reactive protein all tested in December of 2023 when I met with my new pcp. The only two that came back as abnormal were my ESR at 34 and C-Reactive protein at 29.7

You have been through a lot with your abdominal pains. Therefore, considering the normal ultrasound results and the new suspicion of endometriosis from the surgeon, your pain may be due to endometriosis, the condition wherein tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus that can result in cyclical sharp pelvic pain. It's okay to talk to a gynecologist about more tests and treatments. Besides, you might want to see a gastroenterologist, too, so as to eliminate the probability of any intestinal problems causing the symptoms you are having.

My boyfriend and I having sex after 4 days of my menstruation, but he didn't cum inside me, I'm just wondering why there's gurgling sound in my tummy? My last menstruation was on feb 20 something and now it's march 25?
Female | 23
Normal gurgling sounds come from your tummy, mainly after sex. Gas movement through intestines causes these noises. At times, excessive gas can amplify the sounds. No worries if they disappear quickly. However, pain or bloating accompanying the gurgling requires attention. Try smaller meals and avoid gas-inducing foods. Stay hydrated and keep moving to aid digestion. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a gynecologist for proper guidance.

Hi Sir, I have been operated for an ectopic pregnancy 4 years ago. I'm now 35 years old. My hormonal profile and my husband's sperm analysis is normal. HSG showed a fimbria end block. What options should I consider for fertility?
Have you checked the AMH level of yourself, and also the antral follicle count in Sonography?
Hsg is not the absolute report, probability of it being right is 60% since the patient is conscious and the procedure itself is painful, thus the report can falsely show positive/negative indication. The true status of the tube is better assessed by a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein we put a telescope in your abdomen.
If in any doubt, then approach doctors from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can seek help from me too.

Female | 24
Missed periods and positive home tests show you're expecting. Early signs include feeling queasy, tired, sore breasts. These happen due to hormone changes. It's natural! Make an appointment with your gynecologist for prenatal care.

Irregular periods sometimes happen. If two months passed without your period, it may be from stress, weight changes, or hormone imbalances. Other potential causes: pregnancy or medical conditions. Track symptoms and consult a gynecologist for personal advice.

I have pain in lower abdomen since yesterday and also back pain and my periods are not dated yet so is it my missed pregnancy or early pregnancy symptoms and I had one missed pregnancy before. Is. And I had my periods on the 1st of March so how long do I have to wait for a pregnancy test?
Female | 18
It is difficult to diagnose without performing physical examination. On the other hand, the lower abdominal pain and back pain are frequently the early symptoms of pregnancy. As you have had a missed pregnancy once, it is advisable that you make an appointment with your gynecologist for an evaluation. A test can be taken between 1 and 2 weeks after a missed period.

Can I be having cervical cancer
Female | 35
Cervical cancer can happen, but there's no need to worry—it's treatable if caught early. Potential signs include unusual bleeding, discharge, pain during intimacy, or pelvic aches. The primary cause is often specific strains of the HPV virus. Regular gynecologist visits and Pap smears can help detect any issues early. Stay on top of your screenings to protect your health.

My mother had bypass last year. Now she's again having acute pain in her chest. With the pain her skin colour gets really dull & pain lasts for mins.
Female | 58
Considering your mother's background of having had Bypass Surgery and Acute Chest Pain, such acute pain can signal a possible heart problem. I highly recommend you make an appointment with a cardiologist for an in-depth examination without hesitation.

Hello, when I was young I had a wound inside the incision-shaped urination hole extending inward from the front vaginal wall side. The wound was healed, but that incision remained approximately 1cm long. Now I have doubts that it will turn into fistula after sexual intercourse or normal childbirth. Is there a risk in having this incision knowing that at the moment it does not cause me problems and urine comes out of its normal opening naturally. This problem worries me very much.

Without a physical examination, it is hard to really determine the reason. For this reason, you should be referred to a gynecologist who can perform a detailed check and can prescribe you medications

I am a 26-year-old female. For a little over a week, I've been experiencing a sensation on my clitoris after finishing urination. For the past 2-3 days, I've noticed that some urine remains even after I've finished peeing. There is no burning or pain.
Female | 26
The sensation felt on the clitoris after urination and having bit of urine left could be as a result of urinary tract infection (UTI) or just irritation around that area. It is good that there is no pain or burning. A lot of water and cranberry juice can help but it is necessary to go for proper diagnosis and treatment by a urologist.

Female | 17
You may be experiencing a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs can happen even with condom use. Symptoms include pain when peeing, frequent urges to pee, and greenish-yellow discharge. To feel better, try these tips: drink plenty of water, don't hold in your pee, and see a urologist for some antibiotics.

Female | 19
It's not uncommon for periods to be a little late or for cramps to start early, but if it's been a week and your period still hasn't come, it's worth checking in with a gynecologist just to be sure everything's okay. They can give you the best advice based on your specific situation.

I didn't get my periods for 2 months. It happened before also, so I took the regestrone tablet, can I take it again?
Female | 22
Skipping periods for two months might seem normal, yet it signifies underlying issues. Stress, hormonal imbalances, or medical conditions could trigger this irregularity. Regestrone tablets may induce periods, but identifying the root cause is crucial. Consulting a gynecologist is wise, as they can diagnose and prescribe suitable treatment for regulating your menstrual cycle.

my periods are irregular?
Female | 29
Your periods come on different days each month. That's normal for your age. Things like stress, weight changes, and imbalanced hormones make this happen. You may have unpredictable bleeding and cramps. Try managing stress, staying a healthy weight, and eating nutritious foods. If it continues for a while, check with a gynecologist.
