Bleeding & Stomach Pain on PCOS Birth Control - Normal?
Is it normal to have bleeding and stomach pain while taking birth control pills for pcos
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 14th Aug '24
Some females dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) might face bleeding and abdominal discomfort when using birth control pills. Hormonal fluctuations cause this. Encountering such symptoms needn't raise alarm, yet consulting your gynecologist remains wise. They could recommend dosage adjustments or exploring alternative birth control pill types to better manage these side effects.

Hello doctor My partner and i had sex on 31 july this year. I was on diane pills for about 15 days and continued the remaining 6 pills according to the schedule. My partner also did not cum inside. I also have pcos. I took 5 pregnancy tests at different time during the last 25 days which all came negative. I also bleed for 5 days from 13-17 august but since yesterday i am spotting. I also have left the birth control now after taking it for last 4 months and had no sexual intercourse after that. Can i still be pregnant?
Female | Diya
Reasons for bleeding and spotting can be many, especially when you have PCOS. Probably the adjustments you made to the birth control and PCOS could be the triggers for the symptoms you are experiencing. The possibility of you being pregnant is very low, but if you have any worries, you better see your gynecologist.

My period hasn’t come on as yet and my flo app told me tomorrow will indicate that I’m late for my period. But I took a pregnancy test today and it came back negative. Did I test to early or that’s an accurate reading ?
Female | 25
IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET A FALSE NEGATIVE Wait a few days.. STRESS and weight changes can cause late periods.. Remember to TAKE YOUR TIME and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully when taking a pregnancy test. It's important to BE PATIENT and WAIT FOR THE CORRECT TIMEFRAME for accurate results.

I began taking the contraceptive pill Hana on 8th June before my period has started and wanted to know how long before I am protected
Female | 31
When you start taking the contraceptive pill, there’s something you should know: it won’t protect you right away. It takes about seven days to start working. While you’re waiting for it to kick in, make sure to use an extra form of protection such as condoms so that pregnancy doesn’t occur. Some people may get mild side effects like headaches or feeling sick when they first try this type of birth control but these usually go away with time if taken properly.

Hello, I am 31 year old female, about a month ago during my gynecologist exam, they found that my fallopian tube is dilated and I have a sactosalpynx or a cyst, they are not sure. They ordered more tests - cervical screening and CA125 and HE4. Cervical screening shows epithelial cells and lots of gram positive bacilli. CA125 is normal, while HE4 is elevated. I have a check up in two weeks but I was wondering should I be concerned?
Female | 31
I would recommend you make an appointment with an ob-gyn who focuses on the female reproductive system health and fertility disorders. Tubes blocked, lining thickened and cysts are some of the conditions that are indicated by fallopian tube dilation such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or hydrosalpinx.

I had sex and I had a tear on my vagina , around my vestibular fossa, I took antibiotics shots for 3 days to prevent any infection The tear doesn’t hurt anymore but would it ever heal like get glued back together ?
Female | 35
Such tears normally close all along the vaginal wall, the way a cut heals itself, they often will heal on their own unless there is a failure of the nearby anatomic structures to anchor it. The hammock fibers which support the anterior wall of the vagina might be stretched or torn leading to the cystocele. The vestibular fossa is a highly sensitive zone where you require healing time. See a gynecologist if you develop any signs of infection like redness, swelling, or discharge.

I am Sana from manipur. i m 20 yrs old. i have been paining one of my breast for 1 year. by the test i have taken recently, it is confirmed that there is a cyst in my breast.also my hair is fallen abnormally. my question is that- is it breast cancer? if yes, what stage it is? is completely curable? what is the immediate step i have to be taken?
Female | 20
A breast cyst is usually not a sign of breast cancer. If your recent tests have confirmed the presence of a cyst, your doctor may recommend additional imaging tests such as a mammogram or ultrasound to evaluate the cyst and determine what is causing the pain.

I hive a batholin cyst please help
Female | 37
I recommend you to the gynecologist to receive a proper diagnosis as well as treatment. The Bartholin gland is located at either side of the vaginal opening, if blocked, a fluid-filled cyst can develop. Treatment involves a sitz bath, antibiotics, and surgical drainage. It is necessary to see a doctor to avoid complications.

Last months Jan 2024 I had unprotected intercourse approx a week before my actual period date, after which I took an SOS contraceptive pill and I got my periods too on 28th Jan. Now this month is about to end and I still haven't got my periods
Female | 23
Taking emergency contraception might delay your period. Stress causes hormonal changes too, affecting your cycle. If nausea or breast tenderness accompanies your missed period, taking a home pregnancy test makes sense. If your period still hasn't arrived, consulting a gynecologist becomes advisable for proper guidance.

Female | 21
Sometimes periods can be irregular. This may be due to stress, weight gain or loss, or hormonal imbalances. Ensure you eat well and manage stress levels. If they persist, see a gynecologist who will be able to rule out any serious problems. It is also important that you keep track of when your periods occur to provide the doctor with this information.

Female | 23
Most babies arrive around their due date, but every pregnancy is unique. If contractions start or your water breaks, it's delivery time. Always keep your doctor updated on any changes that you wish to make.

Female | 28
Sometimes periods can be late because of stress, a change in routine, or hormonal fluctuations. The tablets you took could also affect your cycle. Wait for a few more days. If you still do not get your periods, it would be good to talk to a gynecologist for advice that is specific to you.

I was pregnant but I took pills and I see blood just for one day after that I don't see blood but still I have back pain and my stomach is hurt and I feel pain nearly my ovary am I still a pregnancy woman?
Female | 25
You may have had certain uncomfortable signs after consuming medication during your pregnancy. Bleeding which lasts only one day can signal miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Back and stomach pain with an ache near your ovary could be associated with these disorders. The priority in such instances is to go to a gynecologist as soon as possible to know the pregnancy status and the appropriate care you will be given.

I am 22 year old female and have missed my periods. the last periods i had was on 30 march.For which i has the medicine primaoult N. I am sexually active and pregnancy test is negative. can you please suggest me any medicine ,because i am gaining wait now and dehydrates
Female | 22
One extremely important thing to do is to investigate the possible reasons for your periods' absence. Weight gain and feeling thirsty might indicate struggling with various issues, such as chemical imbalances or thyroid problems. There are multiple other excuses for your feelings. I hope you will go to a doctor to check what's what and get the right treatment.

Female | 24
The risk of pregnancy depends on factors such as when the intercourse happens and when you release the egg. But taking two doses of Plan B consecutively is not advisable. Please consult a gynecologist if you have any further concern
