It sounds like you may be experiencing a vaginal yeast infection, characterized by irritation and the type of discharge you’ve described. The warm salt water may provide temporary relief, but it's essential to treat the underlying cause. Over-the-counter antifungal treatments can be effective. However, since symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A doctor can provide personalized care and ensure you're on the right track to feeling better.

I'm 22 year old, Female. 2 days back had my first sex with the use of condom and also I have used contraceptive pill and now I'm seeing a white skin appeard near my vaginal opening and also bleeds sometimes
Female | 22
You might have a cut near your vaginal opening. It occurs fairly often after first sex, especially in your maiden experience. This bleeding more than likely is because the wound is healing. It's critical to keep the region clean and abstain from sex until it's completely healed. You can also try a warm compress to alleviate discomfort. Furthermore, if the bleeding does not stop or worsens, visit a gynecologist and get an analysis.

Is there a possibility of pregnancy if the hand is stained with a small amount of semen (which has been in the open air for 4 minutes) and touches the wet vulva? The girl is virgin and exactly on the 14th day of her menstrual cycle. Thank you
Female | 21
Pregnancy chances here are super slim. Lots of fresh semen needs to enter the vagina for pregnancy to happen. Just a tiny bit on your hand, exposed to air for minutes, won't likely cause it. If worried, it's fine to talk to a gynecologist.

Can I be having cervical cancer
Female | 35
Cervical cancer can happen, but there's no need to worry—it's treatable if caught early. Potential signs include unusual bleeding, discharge, pain during intimacy, or pelvic aches. The primary cause is often specific strains of the HPV virus. Regular gynecologist visits and Pap smears can help detect any issues early. Stay on top of your screenings to protect your health.

I want to know that if we have unprotected sex on the day when periods end can we get pregnant
Female | 24
it's less likely to get pregnant immediately after your period ends, but it's still possible, especially if you have a shorter menstrual cycle and ovulate early. Sperm can survive for several days in the female reproductive tract, so unprotected sex right after your period carries some risk of pregnancy. Consult a good gynec from a good hospital.

My vagina has small white patches all around the inside and I burning so so bad and even when I pee as well, I can hardly even wipe when I use the toilet. The discharge is thick.
Female | 17
It could be a yeast infection. In cases of the yeast infection, the white patches, anal burning, and thick discharge would be among the main symptoms. They happen when there's too much yeast in the vagina. If the common problem is treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams and pills, it will possibly be resolved. Make sure that you wear only cotton underwear and that you stay away from scented products. Drink plenty of water and stay away from sweet foods to heal it.

Complex cyst seen in right ovary
Female | 40
A complex cyst in your right ovary might cause pain in your lower belly or irregular menstrual periods. These cysts are like sacs filled with fluid or tissue. They can happen due to hormone changes or problems with your ovaries. Treatment depends on the size and symptoms, but sometimes they go away on their own. It's best to talk with your gynecologist about it.

25 yo female. my period was very irregular as a teenager and non existent when i had an iud from 18-22. it's been almost around 3.5 years since it was removed and I've been actively trying to conceive with my husband since. periods have been regular since iud removal... between 21-30 day cycles and 2-5 days bleeding each time. Normally, almost everything that comes out is clots. lots of blood clots, very minimal unclotted fluid ever present. Never been concerned about it, that's been my normal for as long as I can remember. this time though its different. currently cycle day 2 and not a single clot in sight. at all. so I'm looking for some advice on if that's normal, or not, or if it changing is abnormal..?
Female | 25
It is common for menstrual cycles to vary in length, especially during the first few years after you stopt birth control pills. Though the absence of clots during this period can be concerning, it is not necessarily a cause for alarm. But if you experience any other unusual symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or unusual discharge, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist.

Female | 19
There are many reasons you might miss a period—stress, weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medications. One irregular period is usually not a concern. However, if it happens again or you experience symptoms like pain or dizziness, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for advice.

Im 18 yrs old and I have bleeding in my urine point after my periods can I know wt is it and whats The solution
Female | 18
The most paramount thing is to regularly check up for any other symptoms such as pain or urgency. You can solve this issue if you make sure you consume the necessary amount of liquids and keep clean hygiene habits. However, the initial and most relevant act is to approach a gynecologist who will go through the proper examination. They will do the necessary tests to find out what the problem is and, if necessary, will prescribe the right medication.

Hi I'm bleed from my hemorrhoids the bleeding is very light and only when I wipe is it safe to still have vaginal sex
Female | 45
If you are light bleeding from your hemorrhoids, it is better to not practice vaginal sex for now. Hemorrhoids can result in small amounts of bleeding, and intercourse may exacerbate the situation. Taking a break from sex will allow your body to heal for a while. Keep the area clean and think about using over-the-counter creams for relief. If it turns out that the bleedings last longer or gets worse, it is wise to see a doctor.

I am a 20 year old female who had unprotected sex on day 24 of a normal 28 day cycle I took I pill within 24 hours Today is day 29 and I haven’t gotten my period yet What should I do
Female | 20
Taking the "I pill" pill under those circumstances is actually effective but it can cause disturbances in your menstrual cycle temporarily or even delays. Stress, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health problems can be a reason for your cycle to be late, too. Getting a cycle that is a bit unusual for some time after such a situation is quite common. A little more time; if your period doesn't show up, to make sure you don't have a pregnancy, take a pregnancy test. Should the matter wax urgent, or the signs begin to manifest, it would be necessary to contact a gynecologist for a formal consultation.

had sex on day 17 of cycle and menstrated the following month but can menstration is delayed now in the month after
Female | 25
It is not certain whether you will have a period during the coming month or not if you do it on day 17 of your menstrual cycle. The absence of regular periods can be brought about by multiple factors, including stress, weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. Seeking a gynecologist’s evaluation is the most advisable course of action.

I am Sathya. Marriage in July 3. First period in July 19. Second person August 26. Third period in sep 19. Please advise in my pracancy mami am possible to pracancy.
Female | 26
Your dates suggest that your menstrual cycle is irregular because there is a difference in the length of your periods. If you had unprotected intercourse during the fertile window, then pregnancy is a possibility. The symptoms like missed periods, nausea, and breast tenderness can tell you if you are pregnant. It's best to take a home pregnancy test or see a gynecologist for confirmation.

I saw some blood clots while I was about to do intercouse (protected) and thought that it was period but after that I realized I have still not got the period but blood clots are still there so I am worried whether I'll get my period this month the date is 11th or 10th of this month or should I go for a pregnancy test
Female | 20
It's worrying when you see blood clots without your period. Clots can occur due to shifting hormones, stress, or minor injuries. Track your symptoms carefully and note how long until your flow starts. If worried, take a pregnancy test for clarity. You can also visit a gynecologist for clarity.

Female | 19
Stress, shifts in your routine, diet, or exercise can all have an impact on your menstrual cycle. Your body is getting used to the new changes. Track your period on a calendar. If you have any abnormal symptoms like severe pain, heavy bleeding, or irregular cycles for a long time, it is good to see a gynecologist.

I need advice. Can anyone please help me. I am a female of age 20.My weight is 32 kg and height 5'2". tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 2 days and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days?Will my pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? a doctor told me to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried.
Female | 20
After a medical abortion, some women experience delayed bleeding or may not bleed at all initially. Retained tissue can lead to complications, so it's important to monitor your symptoms. Since you haven't bled yet, I recommend contacting your gynecologist for further evaluation. They may perform an ultrasound to check for retained tissue. The antibiotics prescribed are to prevent infection, which is essential during this time. Trust your healthcare team to guide you through this process and ensure your health is prioritized.

I'm Meena. And my problem is vagina itching burning sensation and whitish yellow discharge sometimes.i regularly drink 2 litre of water.Im suffering from vaginal itching from so far... like 3 to 4 months.sometimes it starts to feel like burning and till now once yellowish white discharge done for 3 days and regular white powder like discharge is happening. I'm not comfortable with doctor to talk about this and I'm really worried about it. Can you please help me to come out from this.
Female | 19
You have been experiencing low burning, and discharging clear, whitish-yellow which are the likely symptoms of yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis that you have because of candida the yeast that naturally resides in the vagina or bacteria. Moreover, the itching and burning might be because of carrying microorganisms that might be harmful. Water is essential, and you should visit a gynecologist for the best treatment.

There could be various reasons for this, including implantation bleeding, miscarriage, hormonal changes, or even an ectopic pregnancy. It's important to consult your gynecologist for proper evaluation and guidance, especially if the bleeding is heavy or accompanied by severe pain.

Female | 31
It sounds like your wife is experiencing discomfort and pain, which can be associated with various factors such as muscle tension, infections, or hormonal changes. It's reassuring that her bleeding is normal, but it's essential to address her pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers may provide temporary relief. However, I highly recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. They can identify the underlying cause and prescribe appropriate medication tailored to her needs. Early intervention can make a significant difference in her comfort and overall well-being.
