Is Vaginal Yeast Infection Serious or Normal?
Is vaginal yeast infection normal or something serious?
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 27th Jan '25
Vaginal yeast infections are quite common and usually not a cause for alarm. Symptoms often include itching, burning, and unusual discharge. They are typically caused by an imbalance in the natural flora, sometimes triggered by factors like antibiotics, stress, or hormonal changes. Fortunately, these infections can be effectively treated with antifungal medications, which are available over the counter or through your healthcare provider. It’s always a good idea to consult a gynecologist if you experience recurrent issues or severe symptoms.

Elevated prolactin. All other hormones are normal. Periods are regular but I can get pregnant.
Female | 33
Occasionally, high prolactin levels may occur even if other hormone levels are normal. This can interfere with becoming pregnant. Symptoms might include producing breast milk when not nursing. Causes could be stress, certain medications or a problem in the brain. One solution might be taking drugs that decrease prolactin. It is very important to have it checked by a gynecologist.

me and my boyfriend have an amazing sex life but recently my vagina is really tight and it hurts to have sex, the pain started last week and till today it hurts. we can only have sex once and thats it. its an uncomfortable pain
Female | 18
It is quite usual to experience some discomfort during intercourse but prolonged pain should be checked out. Tightness and aching during intercourse could be a symptom of a medical problem such as vaginismus or a pelvic infection. I recommend you to visit to a gynecologist to get the right diagnosis and proper treatment.

So, I have been to a urogynecologist and she thinks I have an overactive bladder. I have had this sensation like I'm leaking. I feel like I leak while I'm standing, sitting, or bending really much at any time. Well, today I had to go to the bathroom and when I pulled down my pants white stuff went on the floor. But, When I urinated in the toilet it was yellow. I am wondering if the leaking feeling I have is just a discharge. I did go to the er for back pain and they said I have sciatica.
Female | 23
What you saw on the floor as a white substance may be discharge, but it is vital to eliminate other possible sources. I would recommend that you visit your urogynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment plan.

missed period for 10 days. i had unprotected sex one month back but my partner pulled out before ejection.
Female | 18
Skipping a period for 10 days can be a bit uncertain though having unprotected sex would be a contributor to this situation. Some of the typical examples are fatigue, morning sickness, and breast tenderness. This will happen in the condition of egg fertilization by the sperm. You can take a pregnancy test and also consult a gynecologist.

Hello Doctor I have missed by periods for one month and pregnancy test is negative so I have visited a Dr near my be so he gave me medroxyprosterone tablet to consume for 5 days after breakfast lunch and dinner and I will get my periods in 3 days it has been 7 days I haven't got my periods
Female | 22
Missing periods can be anxiety-provoking, but it can be the result of a variety of reasons. Stress, sudden gain or loss of weight, and hormonal imbalances are some common reasons. Medroxyprogesterone is effective in helping your period, but it may take some people longer than others. If you don't get your period after a few more days, go back to your gynecologist to discuss further steps.

During pregnancy I have bleeding just complete one month and Week so what happened with me
Female | 28
Early pregnancy may bring light bleeding. That's because the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus. This occurrence is normal and called implantation bleeding. However, speak with your gynecologist to ensure all is well. They'll advise you according to your situation.

Female | 27
It looks like you are experiencing some problems during your menstrual cycle. Brown discharge, pelvic pain, and vaginal irritation might be due to various reasons. Brown discharge may be old blood while pelvic pain could result from cramps and vaginal irritation might be a result of an infection. It is important to consult a gynecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I missed my period. Last i had on 17 march but still didn't. Stomach is paining sometime. Stress level also increased plus Traveling and my climate change as well is it bcz of these?
Female | 25
It may be that the stress differences, traveling as well as climate that you underwent may have played a role in that late coming of your period. Although this may indirectly implicate a possible medical condition, you have to make sure that you see a gynecologist to rule out any probable medical conditions.

When should I take a pregnancy test being 11 days late and sexually active?
Female | 16
If 11 days have passed since the date of the expected period but you have done the love deeds, it is a good idea to check whether you are pregnant. Irregular periods and being sexually active are among the most common signs of pregnancy. You can be pregnant if you haven't used a condom while you have sex. Pregnancy tests that you can do at home are an accurate method to find out. The tests reveal pregnancy hormones in your urine.

Hi - I am currently pregnant and need a clarity on my conception date. To give a bit of background- I was on combined contraceptive pills (Ovranette) until 9th of March, when I came off it after finishing a pill pack. I got my withdrawal bleeding on 12th March(which I consider as the first day of myLMP) I tested positive for pregnancy on 11th April when my periods didn’t arrive. I had two ultrasound scan so far - one on 2nd May when the gestation age was measured as 7 weeks 2 days as per ultrasound and the second one on 9th May when the gestation age was measured as 8 weeks 2 days as per ultrasound. Since I conceived the next month after coming off pill, I need some clarity on when did the conception happen. I had 2 times sexual intercourse during this time - one on 12th March (couple of hours before commencing my withdrawal bleeding) and the next one on 23rd March - would like to know which intercourse has resulted in the pregnancy
Female | 32
According to what you’ve said it’s more likely that the sexual intercourse on 23rd March caused your pregnancy. Typically, a pregnancy test becomes positive about 4 weeks after conception which matches the dates. Having taken the pill, you can easily mistake withdrawal bleeding for your normal period. Some symptoms such as positive pregnancy tests and ultrasound findings indicate that it happened after 12th March. The best thing to do now is keep seeing a gynecologist.

Breast discharge and pcos
Female | 19
If you have breast discharge, PCOS might be causing it. PCOS makes your body produce excess androgens. Androgens disrupt menstrual cycles, resulting in breast discharge. Symptoms: irregular periods, breast tenderness. Managing PCOS requires medication and lifestyle changes. Get breast discharge checked by a gynecologist. They'll ensure there are no underlying issues.

is this medically possible that you have periods for 2 days for past 2 months and still be pregnant
Female | 22
It is scientifically possible to have short phases during the first months of pregnancy. But it is vital to seek consultation from a gynecologist and do a pregnancy test to ensure that you are indeed pregnant. I suggest that one should contact gynecologist who deals with obstetrics and gynecology for this purpose.

Hi I'm FAVOUR, I missed my period for 2 months and I wasn't pregnant. I went for test and they said I have infection ( staphylococcus erus and candida albican), after which I was given 3 days injections of antibiotics. A week after the injection and treatment, I saw my period that lasted for 5 days but it wasn't flowing as usual. A week after seeing the period, I started seeing brown discharge coming out of my vagina and now it's not longer brown discharge that's coming out, it's blood, a heavy flow of blood is pouring out of my body 24/7, and it's been flowing like this for close to 2 weeks now, please what can I do?
Female | 19
The infection that you had might be the reason that your menstruation has changed and thus uneven bleeding has happened. Infections can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or irregular periods. The brown discharge you saw may have been old blood mingled with the vaginal discharge. Should the heavy bleeding continue, contacting a healthcare provider is vital to get a more thorough evaluation and care.

Ye usko kuch common issues ka samna karne jaise ki muscle strain ya infection face karne wala h. Tum usse aaram karne ki salah do aur ek warm compress use karne ko kehna. Lekin yadi aapke lakshan zyada serious hain, jaise ki bhari dard ya bleeding, toh gynecologist se milna bahut zaroori hai. Professional care unhe sahi diagnosis aur treatment de sakta hai. Isiliye, bina kisi delay ke medical expert se sampark karna behtar hoga.

Female | 22
PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What is the problem that causes late periods and high bleeding on periods time?
Male | 21
Late periods can signal hormonal imbalances like PCOS or uterine fibroids. You might have irregular cycles, weight fluctuations, and pelvic pain. Heavy bleeding is another possible symptom. Doctors may recommend changes to diet, exercise, medication, or hormone treatments. Track your symptoms carefully. Discuss concerns with a gynecologist for personalized guidance.

I had an abortion 2months ago(i was 6 weeks pregnant),im going to have a sonogram of abdomen and pelvis for another medical reason,does the sonogram show that i had an abortion or that i was pregnant in general?

A sonogram won't reveal if you had an abortion . It can detect pregnancy in general . Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns .

I suffer from periods issue ,,when i started weight gaining foods start gaining some weight ,,,blood amount increases in body . I start to suffer from heavy menustral flow
Female | 25
Weight gain could be the reason for your heavy periods. It can lead to hormonal changes, increasing blood volume and resulting in heavier periods. This happens because fat cells produce estrogen, which affects the menstrual cycle. To help regulate your periods, try maintaining a healthy weight by incorporating a balanced diet and regular exercise into your routine.

I am a 27 year old female who has been on her period for 17 days. I still have my expired implant in unfortunately. I have Epsicaprom. How many sachets should i take and for how long
Female | 27
Epsicaprom is a drug that is popular among doctors to deal with heavy bleeding. In your case, take 2 sachets each day for 5 days. Epsicaprom functions like this: it inhibits bleeding. The expired implant might be the reason for the bleeding that has been ongoing for a long time. Remember, always check with your gynecologist before taking any of the medications.
