I'm having missed periods. My cycle is irregular. I'm stressed about my exam. It will not go well if it starts somewhere near the date.

Answered by Dr. Mohit Saraogi

There are lots of things that can affect your menstrual cycle, including stress, and hormonal and lifestyle changes. Most symptoms, like irregular periods or missed ones, can be witnessed in the time of extreme stress. The ultimate surrender of your cycle might therefore be promoting relaxation techniques such as breathing, yoga, and a balanced diet, coupled with the guarantee of adequate sleep. For the time being, it is better to wait and see how things go. If your cycle continues to be unusual or becomes enlarged, I would recommend that you visit a gynecologist who can suggest a solution that is appropriate for you and can give you his/her support.

Can someone be pregnant without signs

Female | 34

Pregnancy is sometimes hard to detect early on. Signs like fatigue, queasiness, and sensitive breasts can be mild or mistaken for something else. Stress or health problems can cause similar symptoms too. The most reliable way to know is by taking a pregnancy test either at home or a clinic.

My question is more of a concern. I haven't seen my period in over 3 months and it's scary because I haven't had sex. I went ahead to take both the home test and visited a lab nearby for a pregnancy test and it both came out negative. Please what could be wrong? The last time I had this issue was in my 200lv when I was super stressed out due to the number of classes I had but that was years ago. I work from home so I don't really go out much and I don't even exercise so it can't be due to stress or intense exercise like I read. I'm really worried. Please help

Female | 24

Irregular periods have many causes, including the fact that you have never been sexually active and the pregnancy tests were negative. All of these factors can be stress, eating abnormalities, thyroxin problems, and hormonal disruptors. A consultation with a gynecologist is a smart option because they already know that you have some disorders and it can be helpful for your cycle regulation.

Female | 17

This can be caused by factors like stress, body weight changes, hormonal imbalances, or even pregnancy. Keeping in the know means it is best to keep track of other symptoms, like, if you have been feeling weak or your breasts are tender whether they are or are not is a good thing to know. If you are worried, you should test and talk to your gynecologist.

Iam 7 weeks pregnant had an ultrasound yesterday ....baby heart beat is found..but a small subchorionic collection is seen near the g- sac of about 10×3 mm ....is this collection is small or large please tell me

Female | 28

The subchorionic collection near the gestational sac is a small bubble, measuring about 10 by 3 millimeters. Sometimes, these collections can cause light bleeding during pregnancy. Staying calm and avoiding heavy lifting may help. Most of the time, these collections fade away as the pregnancy progresses. It's important to see a gynecologist for any further advice.

Why can't I sleep during my periods?

Female | 22

It is quite usual for a girl to have a hard time sleeping during her period. One of the major factors behind this is hormonal changes. During menstruation, your body releases more prostaglandins, which can lead to cramps and affect your sleep patterns. You can also have problems sleeping because of the feeling of fullness, irritation, and anxiety. To feel better, one may try drinking calming tea, applying a heating pad, and relaxing around bedtime.

I have issue of menstrual cycle it's about 48 days

Female | 19

A menstrual cycle lasting 48 days can occur due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in weight, or underlying health conditions. Symptoms may include irregular bleeding, mood swings, or physical discomfort. It’s important to monitor your cycles and note any additional symptoms. Maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and regular exercise may help regulate your cycle. However, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and to rule out any serious issues.

Female | 21

It sounds like you’re experiencing some concerning symptoms, including delayed menstruation and breast discharge. These could be attributed to hormonal fluctuations, stress, or other underlying issues. While pregnancy tests can sometimes give false negatives, other factors may affect your cycle and breast changes. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss potential treatment options tailored to your situation.

I am diagnosed with PCOD. Dr suggested me to take meprate for 5 days and wait for the next 7 days for withdrawal bleeding. Still if it doesn't happen, then take diane 35. It's my 10 day today, should I take diane 35 now? Or should I see another doctor? Please help me

Female | 17

Listening to your doctor is crucial for PCOD management. Meprate induces withdrawal bleeding, helping regulate your periods. After 7 days, if bleeding doesn't start, Diane 35 might be prescribed. On day 10, begin Diane was 35 as per the doctor's advice.

Female | 33

Struggling to conceive can be challenging, and the process may take time. Issues like irregular cycles, timing, health problems, and stress can affect fertility. Both partners need to maintain good health, eat a balanced diet, and avoid smoking. If you're concerned after trying for a while, consulting an infertility specialist is a good idea.

Female | 21

You are going through a rough patch with your menstrual cycle. Missing periods may be due to a variety of factors such as stress, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances. The negative pregnancy tests are a positive outcome. Monitor your symptoms carefully and consult with a gynecologist to determine the cause of your missed periods and the appropriate treatment.

My period is missed 5 days so which day i will check and one more doubt it's missed periods sexual joined or not???

Female | 27

Your period being 5 days late is noteworthy. Missed cycles happen due to pregnancy, stress, sudden weight fluctuations, or hormonal irregularities. Additional indicators may involve nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. Verifying pregnancy requires a home test. A negative result yet continued absence of menstruation warrants consulting a gynecologist for assessment.

Sooo basically, I had unprotected sex 6 days before my period, I was not ovulating, I took a plan b immediately after once I got home that same day, I also drunk some mugwort tea which someone told me it works and some vitamin c, what is the percentage of me getting pregnant, I’m also 185 pounds and some people say that a plan b works less

Female | 17

The consumption of Plan B right away is one of the most effective ways of preventing the development of pregnancy, particularly in case ovulation has not occurred yet. Obesity might be the determinant in the reduction of the efficiency of these types of contraceptives but the number of potential factors is unfathomable. The outcomes of the onset of pregnancy can include such symptoms as missed periods, nausea, and tiredness of the whole body. If you have doubts, or your period has not been at its usual timing, a pregnancy test might be an option for you. Besides, it is always best to get advice and assurance from a gynecologist.

I am having so much sex with my husband that I am not able to conceive a baby. What medicine should I take now to conceive a baby? Please give me a quick solution.

Female | 21

Engaging in frequent intimate relations doesn’t necessarily guarantee pregnancy, as timing and ovulation play crucial roles. It's essential to track your menstrual cycle to determine the best days for conception. If pregnancy remains elusive after several months, consider exploring factors like hormonal balance or any underlying health issues. While there are supplements to support fertility, please consult with a gynecologist for personalized advice and appropriate treatment options. They can conduct tests and guide you toward a tailored plan to enhance your chances of conceiving.

Spotting, or light vaginal bleeding, can be caused by a variety of factors. In your case, since you have PCOS, irregular periods could be causing the spotting. The abdominal pain may also be related to your condition. Stress from your night duty could worsen these symptoms. Try to relax, maintain a healthy diet, and get enough sleep.

It sounds like you’re concerned about your wife’s missed periods and testing negative for pregnancy. Many factors can affect menstrual cycles, including stress, hormonal changes, and health conditions. It’s important to give it a little more time before retesting, ideally a week after the last test for more accurate results. If periods continue to be irregular or if there are other symptoms such as pain or significant changes, I would recommend consulting a gynecologist. They can provide personalized guidance and support.
