Can I Take Headache Medicine During My Period?
is it okay to take a headache medicine while having a period?
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 3rd June '24
Menstrual migraines can be caused by changes in hormones and dehydration. Over-the-counter painkillers are generally safe to take for a headache but make sure it is suitable for use during your period before taking anything new. Always follow the directions on over-the-counter medication or ask a pharmacist which ones won’t interfere with menstruation.

I had sex on 19/5/2023 and my periods date was 20/5/2023 i.e. today But i haven't got them yet Is it possible for me to get pregnant even though we had used protection but still I'm concerned
Female | 19
The risk of pregnancy is generally low. However, variations in cycles, stress, and other factors can cause period delays. Consider emergency contraception if needed, and if your period is significantly late, take a pregnancy test.

Hii i lost 10 kg weight in an year without any exercise or diet with hairfall and I am 21 yr old female I had painful periods with vomiting previously and I took emergency contraceptive pill 4 times in an year
Female | 21
You lost 10 kg in a year, without trying. Also, you had hair falling out, and vomiting during periods. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently may impact your body. These symptoms indicate possible hormone imbalances or lack of nutrients. You should see a gynecologist. They will assess these issues properly.

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .
Female | 23
Even if complete insertion didn't occur, pregnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still reach the egg. Immediate symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or breast tenderness could be early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provides confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't preclude pregnancy.

hey doc i have been having a pain in my outer area of vagina but i have never had sex before what could be the problem please advice
Female | 24
Nerve sensitivity might be why the pain has been occurring, which is called vulvodynia, in the area. A skin rash, an infection, or tight-fitting clothes could be among other probable culprits. To help the pain, wearing loose, cotton underwear, avoiding soaps that irritate, and using a cold compress may be soothing. The discomfort should be reported to a gynecologist if it does not go away or gets worse.

Iam 35 years old female n I was wondering how did I get Cervical cancer
Female | 35
The problem of cervical cancer is caused when the cells in the cervix get as a matter of fact, out of hand. The primary connection is through the HPV virus, which is transmitted during sexual activities. Some non-specific symptoms may also be there including the following: bleeding from the unusual site the woman has never experienced before, pain during sex, and pelvic pain. The use of Pap smears and HPV vaccines is one of the ways to minimize the risk of cervical cancer. This may happen to the p. by surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

I engaged in sex for last time , my periods was late for two days, I don't have any pregnancy related symptoms.i don't know iam pregnant or not
Female | 20
It's common to worry if your period is late after sex. Pregnancy symptoms like tiredness, breast tenderness, or nausea can occur, but you're feeling something different, right? Don't panic! Stress or changes in your routine are often the main reasons for a delayed period. Wait a bit longer, and if your period doesn't come, consider taking a pregnancy test.

hi, i had unprotected sex yesterday, my period ended on the 26th may and my ovulation day is on the 3rd june. my next period is on the 17th june. im scared ill get pregnant.
Female | 20
Since you had unprotected sex close to your ovulation day, there is a chance of pregnancy. It's best to take a home pregnancy test if your period is late. To get proper advice, please consult a gynecologist.

I'm 5 days late i had unprotected sex but after 2 days i took a unwanted 72 pill and after medicine one later i took a pregnancy test at home and it's negative but my periods still not coming i had that unprotected sex on my period date . I'm so tensed please help me out.
Female | 24
Taking the 72 pill after unprotected sex was wise. It prevents pregnancy effectively. However, it may disrupt your cycle, delaying your period. Stress, hormones, or other factors could affect menstruation too. If your period doesn't arrive soon, take another pregnancy test or consult a gynecologist for advice.

Menstrual bleeding patterns often change when hormonal tablets are administered. But, if your menstruation continues for too long than usual then medical help of a gynecologists is required.

My period was supposed to come today but it's not here yet and I have a 28 day cycle. I have been having pains in my waist similar to PMS, as well as abdominal pains for three days now. I had unprotected sex a few times over the past two weeks. What do I do to avoid being pregnant
Female | 18
Unprotected sex might have caused your late period and PMS-like symptoms. These are potential pregnancy signs. The egg may have met sperm, resulting in pregnancy after unprotected intimacy. To avoid pregnancy, you can take emergency contraception like the morning-after pill within seventy-two hours of unprotected sexual activity.

Female | 35
If the pregnancy test is negative, your delayed periods could be due to stress, or weight change among many others. You should seek a gynecologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

The regular coupling during the fertile time of the monthly cycle can make the probability of pregnancy higher. Besides, imbalance in age, hormones, and medical conditions are also relevant factors influencing fertility. You should consult with a gynecologist or infertility specialist to know more on diffrent advance treatments like IVF, IUI etc to conceive.

I am 40 years old.I have a Daughter and I want to get pregnancy soon.But it's not working
Female | 40
It seems you're having trouble getting pregnant. One major issue could be "ovulation problems." Poor ovulation makes it hard to conceive. Considering your health and age, age can also make it harder to get pregnant. The best way to address this is to keep a record of your menstrual cycle and consult your gynecologist. They might suggest treatments like medications or procedures to help you conceive.

I recommend that you contact your gynecologist or obstetrician right away. This could be a sign of infection that left untreated will harm both you and the baby. Your doctor will give a diagnosis and treatment options for that condition.

I have PCOS and I’m on the pill but I currently have bacterial vaginosis, is it normal to bleed just now? I had a few small clots and brown period now. haven’t had a period since 571 days ago.
Female | 29
Bleeding may sometimes occur as a result of infection-causing bacterial vaginosis. It’s not something that happens very often, but it is possible. The small clots and brown period you’re seeing could be due to that. Since you were not getting periods for a long time, the bleeding now could be a bit different. Make sure to chat with your gynecologist to confirm everything's okay and to get the right treatment.
