Answered on 16th Feb '25
A cyst measuring 16 mm can be concerning, but not all cysts are harmful. Causes may include hormonal changes or infections, and symptoms often include discomfort or bloating. Many cysts resolve naturally without treatment. However, it's important to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to determine the nature of the cyst and whether any action is required. They may suggest monitoring or further imaging if necessary.

My period used to be irregular but since I started diet exercise I got my period again after 10 days of my period. What is the reason for this?
Female | 30
It seems that your menstrual cycle is altering. Physical activities and dietary changes can affect hormone levels and result on a regular menstruation. Abrupt lifestyle shifts can provoke early periods at times. Continue tracking startup if it persists while scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist for further concerns.

Hi good day. I’m Joy, I’m having milky discharge (Prolactation) when I’m not pregnant nor breastfeeding. I have been experiencing this for 1 year now and I experience pain during sex.
Female | 25
It seems like you are having hyperprolactinemia. Even when not pregnant or breastfeeding, this condition can make your breasts release a milky liquid. This matter might be the cause of painful intercourse. Drug side effects or imbalances in hormones are among the potential reasons. Some cases may require surgical intervention while others may only need medication to regulate the levels of hormones. It is important that a gynecologist diagnoses you correctly and treats you accordingly.

If milk is not coming in since 11 days, it could be due to various reasons like stress, improper latch, or medical conditions. It's important to consult a lactation specialist to get proper advice and support. They can help identify the issue and suggest solutions to improve milk production.

I am 20 years old and I missed my periods I did sex but I checked my pregnancy using preganews kit ani the result it negative means I am not pregnant but why my periods missed
Female | 20
It is quite natural to be afraid when the menstrual cycle stops changing, especially after having sex. A delay in menstruation can result from a large number of factors. Indicatively, these could be stress, hormonal imbalances, increase or decrease of body weight, or physical activities. It’s good that the pregnancy test was negative, which gives us hope. In the interest of keeping the cycles regular, one is encouraged to eat a balanced diet, take control of their stress, and lead a healthy lifestyle. If you experience problems with the menstrual cycle or any other symptoms, make the right decision and get in touch with a gynecologist for an individual treatment plan and help.

Female | 17
The inner vaginal lips may sometimes seem darker during puberty. You might not have noticed before, but this change happens naturally as girls grow up. Keep the vaginal area clean and you'll be fine.

I am a 22 year old female, I started taking my birth control again and have been for a week now. I started my period after starting my birth control again. However, my period or whatever is happening has been occuring for almost 10 days now. The bleeding is very light with just two days of it being a medium flow. My breasts aren't tender, my acne is bad, my hair is a bit oily, I do feel gassy, my back hurts a bit and I feel mildly nauseous here and there.
Female | 22
It sounds more like your body is only getting used to birth control. It is quite common to have irregular bleeding when you start using birth control. Light bleeding, acne, oily hair, gas, back pain, and nausea are also possible side effects of the hormones in birth control. Allow some time to ensure the body gets used to the medicine. And if these symptoms persist or become stronger, please get in touch with your gynecologist for advice.

Is it normal to bleed for 15 days after first Intercourse?
Female | 19
Some blood may appear after sexual intimacy for the first time. But, heavy bleeding for fifteen full days seems unusual. This likely means an injury occurred inside the vagina, or there is an infection present. It is wise to have a gynecologist examine you thoroughly for proper treatment recommendations.

Hi I'm FAVOUR, I missed my period for 2 months and I wasn't pregnant. I went for test and they said I have infection ( staphylococcus erus and candida albican), after which I was given 3 days injections of antibiotics. A week after the injection and treatment, I saw my period that lasted for 5 days but it wasn't flowing as usual. A week after seeing the period, I started seeing brown discharge coming out of my vagina and now it's not longer brown discharge that's coming out, it's blood, a heavy flow of blood is pouring out of my body 24/7, and it's been flowing like this for close to 2 weeks now, please what can I do?
Female | 19
The infection that you had might be the reason that your menstruation has changed and thus uneven bleeding has happened. Infections can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or irregular periods. The brown discharge you saw may have been old blood mingled with the vaginal discharge. Should the heavy bleeding continue, contacting a healthcare provider is vital to get a more thorough evaluation and care.

This could mean you have an infection in your urinary tract. Signs of this are pain when peeing and needing to pee a lot. To help, drink lots of water. Do not hold in your pee. Wear underwear made of cotton. It is very important to see a urologist for treatment.

I understand you're experiencing discomfort and noticing bumps in your vaginal area. It's important to recognize that various conditions can cause these symptoms, such as infections or irritations. Over-the-counter treatments may help alleviate pain, but it's essential to consult a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care. They can offer tailored recommendations based on your specific situation.

Female | 25
Some women experience light bleeding around their regular period time when they are pregnant. This is caused by something called implantation bleeding when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. If you are unsure, you can take a pregnancy test to confirm.

Sometimes, it can happen that women have irregular periods. However, if you notice any surprising or unusual changes, it’s advisable to visit your gynecologist.

I was wondering what a septated adnexal cyst is and what kind of symptoms you can get from it. I had a partial hysterectomy about 14 years ago. I have been having stomach issues so my Doctor ordered a CT scan and it showed up on the scan.
Female | 45
A septated adnexal cyst is a fluid-filled sac with walls inside it. A hysterectomy can cause this to happen near the ovaries. You might not feel anything or could have a belly ache, bloating, or discomfort. Sometimes they can go away, but other times a gynecologist might suggest more tests or surgery.

But again today on 20th Nov I’m bleeding again really less but still. What does this mean? This is not pregnancy right?
Female | 20
A situation of irregular periods could suddenly arise due to factors such as stress, fluctuations in hormone levels, or even a change in routine. In fact, sometimes periods may be a little irregular. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist immediately if you have other odd problems and bleeding too.

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 would like some more information on ectopic pregnancy
Female | 19
A fertilized egg implanting and developing outside the uterus, often in the fallopian tubes, is a serious medical condition known as an ectopic pregnancy. In rare cases, it can occur in other areas like the ovary or abdominal cavity. As the pregnancy progresses, it can lead to pain, bleeding, and life-threatening complications for the woman. Ectopic pregnancies cannot reach full term and pose a significant risk to the woman's health. If not treated, they can cause the fallopian tube or the organ where the pregnancy is located to rupture, resulting in severe internal bleeding.

Like I am 16 year old teenager who had regular periods before but for the first time missed it in August then got it in September and again missed in August and is worried thinking maybe she has pcos or pcod
Female | 16
It's normal for your periods to be slightly irregular during your teenage years. The occasional missed period is not necessarily an indicator of PCOS or PCOD. This may be because of hormone changes, stress, or lifestyle factors. If you're worried about it, talking to a gynecologist can help you understand what's going on and how to deal with it.

Female | 24
The presence of a bad smell and long-term bleeding can be indicators of an infection or the retention of the tissue. The other conditions may include more pain or the presence of fever. First of all, it's very important to take care of your health and to urgently visit a gynecologist for an examination. You will get a comprehensive body check-up and appropriate treatment options will be recommended.
