Can I Take Headache Medicine During My Period?

is it okay to take a headache medicine while having a period?

1 Answer
Dr. Mohit Saraogi

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.

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.

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.

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.

Im 34 weeks pregnant and im coming out yellowish and green discharge

Female | 23

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.
