Is my hymen intact at 20 post-sexual encounter?

Do I still have my hymen intact? I'm 20 years old I have period the day I decided to have my first sex. I didn't know I was already on my period and that's why I possibly decide to have my first sex. I'm curious as to know whether I'm still a virgin or not. Thank you

It’s important to note that the presence or absence of the hymen does not determine one's virginity. The hymen can stretch or tear through various activities, including tampon use or physical exercise, not just sexual intercourse. If you're concerned about any changes or discomfort, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination and reassurance. Remember, engaging in sexual activity is a personal decision and does not define your worth or identity.

i had sex protected one but took and ipill while I was ovulating iguess now I'm having kind off fever after that ipill I faced dry vomiting and kind of dizzy am I pregnant?

Female | 17

Contraceptive pills can produce side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. It doesn't mean that you are pregnant when you have these symptoms. You can still use a pregnancy test after a few days if you are anxious. Be sure to drink enough water and sleep well to recover your health.

So this is from the absolute start. So my cycle start on 4th nov and ended on 9th Then on Monday 11th November I had unprotected sex in the afternoon and took p2 immediately after which was 2hours later on the same day. On Sunday 17th November I started bleeding(I had cramps) it ended on Wednesday morning that week My Flo app had showed me that I was supposed to ovulate on 20th November. That week and the next week I didn’t have any symptoms or signs of anything Until the first week of December where I started getting a lot of discharge Like egg white/watery discharge So on Sunday this week I started noticing my boobs were getting sore and I was bloated Then the cramps started and now today I got back ache. So when I logged in my symptoms and the bleeding in Flo app it counted that bleeding I had on 17th November as a period and the week I had alot of discharge became my ovulation week and now I’m on my last week before my period starts next week What do you think

Hi I have recently facing infection on my vagina. It comes every month before periods. I have burning sensation and itching whenever it contacted with water. My most concern is, I recently noticed that my vaginal opening is getting bigger or wider. This concerns me a lot. I do have a partner but we only have sex once a year. Apart from that, I'm not doing any kind of sexual activities. Please give me remedy and reason for this.

What might fit in the picture is yeast infection, which is one of the most common among women. The burning and itching are the two primary common symptoms. The feeling of your vaginal opening getting bigger or wider may be due to swelling from the infection. Antifungal creams or suppositories that you can get over the counter could be tried for this purpose. Don't forget to keep the region clean and dry, and wear cotton underwear to promote the healing process.

I am two months pregnant. Can I go for sex.

Female | 35

During pregnancy, sexual activity is generally safe unless you have any complications. In most uncomplicated pregnancies sex can be enjoyed throughout the entire pregnancy. Only if you have a history of preterm labor, placenta previa, cervical incompetence, or if you are experiencing bleeding or have a low lying placenta, then your doctor would limit or advise against..

I am a 26 year old female. I discovered fibroadenomas in my breast when I was 18. I have 8-9 lesions in each breast, not big ones. I get them checked every year. Is this something I need to be worried about?

Female | 26

It is good that you check your bre­ast lumps every year. Fibroade­nomas are growths in the breast that are­ not cancer. You may feel a lump or se­e changes in breast shape­. These lumps happen whe­n gland and tissue cells grow too much. Most times, no tre­atment is neede­d if the lump does not grow or hurt. Kee­p seeing your doctor each ye­ar, and you will be okay.

Dear Doctor I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your expertise regarding some troubling changes I have been experiencing with my menstrual cycle. Historically, I have maintained regular periods, typically occurring on a predictable monthly schedule. However, over the past few months, I have observed a pattern of increasing irregularity. Specifically, my cycles have been increasingly delayed, with periods arriving two, four, and even five days later than expected. Most recently, I experienced a delay of eight days. Moreover, following the onset of my most recent period, I noticed an abnormal occurrence of spotting that lasted for approximately three days. This extended spotting has added to my concerns about my menstrual health. Additionally, I would like to highlight that the level of pain associated with my menstruation has become significantly more intense, to the point of being almost unbearable during some cycles. Given these developments, I am eager to understand the potential underlying causes and whether there are recommended steps I should take to address these issues. Your guidance and insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Naomi

Irregular cycles, increased pain, and unexpected spotting can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid issues. It's important to consult with your gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause. They may recommend tests or treatments to help manage your symptoms effectively. Remember, you're not alone in this, and seeking professional advice is a positive step towards understanding and improving your health.

i am 21 year old i miss my periods from 4 month i am virgin i loss my weight hair fall stress aslo

Female | 21

4 months of missed periods at 21 years old is abnormal. All these appear to be connected with weight loss, hair fall and stress. Set up an appointment with a doctor to review possible causes and possible treatment.
