Many people worry when their period is late, especially after unprotected sex and taking emergency contraception. Signs like sore breasts, cramps, and a missed period could mean pregnancy. But these can also happen from hormone changes. It's wise to take a pregnancy test now for clarity. If negative, wait one week and test again for accuracy. You can also visit a gynecologist to clear your doubts.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex but on 4th July 2024, I gave him oral and then kissed him on the lips with his precum on my lips. And then he went down on me. Is there a chance of pregnancy? I took unwanted 72 under 48 hours. My periods due date is near. I saw very light bleeding in my vagina in the morning thinking it’s periods but I don’t get very light periods and my periods are irregular. So I took the pill and after 6 hours of taking the pill , I can still see some light red blood spots on the toilet paper. Is it normal or is it ovulation bleeding? Is it because I took the pill on the day of my period? And will i have withdrawal blood if the sperm didn’t went inside my vagina? I’m feeling very dry vagina with minimum discharge. Should I take a pregnancy test? And why am I facing these blood spots?

The probability of pregnancy from the situation you described was quite low because you took the necessary measures after the unprotected encounter. Although light bleeding might have been caused by the pill's side effects, like irregular bleeding, this is not a sign of pregnancy. This idolizes the truth that hormonal changes can cause such and such. It is common and does not mean you are pregnant. If you're worried, taking a pregnancy test can provide reassurance.

My period is iregular and u had been gaining weight and constipate my body use to itch alot from head to toe i dont know what to say
Female | 28
Irregular periods, weight gain, constipation and itchiness may indicate a medical condition. One should seek the help of a gynecologist in cases where periods are not on regularity and that of a gastroenterologist when one is having constipation. A dermatologist should be consulted for weight gain and an endocrinologist, on the other hand, in case of itchiness. Do not dismiss these symptoms as a failure to diagnose and treat correctly may diminish your physical health and happiness.

Is it really necessary to take contraceptives pills if you are not having sex often? Contraceptive pills gives you any advantages?
Female | 26
Birth control pills work by blocking eggs from sperm. Even sans frequent sex, consistent pill taking ensures efficacy. Plus, they regulate periods, control acne, and relieve cramps. Consult a gynecologist to choose the right pill type.

Vaginal itching I have from past 2 weeks and I used v wash and coconut oil but the itching is more at night plz help me out
Female | 24
Vaginal itching can be caused by several factors, including infections, irritations, or allergies. Given that you’ve experienced discomfort for two weeks and noticed it worsens at night, it's wise to consider possible yeast infections or other conditions. While using products like V wash and coconut oil may provide temporary relief, they might not address the root cause. I recommend consulting a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Can pelvic usg detect any abnoalities in fallopian tubes?
Female | 22
Abdominal ultrasound helps diagnose fallopian tube issues. It identifies blockages, swelling, and fluid accumulation. Indicators are heavy bleeding, discomfort, and infertility difficulties. Infections and previous surgeries contribute. Treatment options: surgery, medications based on the diagnosis. Consult a gynecologist about symptoms, and appropriate care plan.

I am 39years old, i have lower back pain for at least 2 weeks, i feel like i have a prolapsed uterus, Seeing or feeling tissue bulge out of the vagina Feeling heaviness or pulling in the pelvis Feeling like the bladder doesn't empty all the way when you use the bathroom Problems with leaking urine, also called incontinence Trouble having a bowel movement and needing to press the vagina with your fingers to help have a bowel movement Feeling as if you're sitting on a small ball
Female | 39
Your symptoms point to pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where pelvic muscles weaken. This causes uterus, bladder or bowel to bulge into vagina, causing discomfort. For relief, try pelvic floor exercises - these strengthen muscles. You could also use a pessary device to support organs. If case is severe, surgery may help.

Drinking plenty of water and seeking advice from a gynecologist would help you get well soon.

I had my last periods on 28 December 2024 but I took 4 tablets of overal l bd on the same day After that I didn't get my periods on the expected date so I got an ultrasound on which there was a hemorrhagic cyst in my ovary. I was prescribed ipill 21 bd for 5 days to get withdrawal bleeding which I took from 5 feb to 9 feb but still didn't get any bleeding On 15 Feb I took urine pregnancy test which was negative and also had ultrasound which was normal What should I do
Female | 23
It's understandable to be concerned about your missed period and the recent findings. Hemorrhagic cysts can cause hormonal changes, leading to irregular cycles. While your pregnancy test came back negative and ultrasound showed normal results, it's important to monitor your symptoms. I recommend keeping track of any further changes and consulting your gynecologist for a personalized plan. They may suggest additional tests or treatments to regulate your cycle and address the cyst.

I got my period 5 days after intimate but the pregnancy kit show a dark pink line on it what it's mean
Female | 22
A dark pink line on a pregnancy test can have different meanings. Sometimes, you might still get your period even if you're pregnant, and the test could still be positive, especially in early pregnancy. However, this might also happen if the test is used incorrectly, leading to a false positive. If unsure, take another test or consult a gynecologist for clarification.

I haven’t had a cycle since October 28th it’s December 1st now should I take a pregnancy test?
Female | 20
Yes, it's a good IDEA to take a PREGNANCY test now. A MISSED period could mean PREGNANCY, but other factors including stress, weight changes, or medications could also be the cause.. PREGNANCY tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in URINE.. It's recommended to take the test in the morning as it's when hCG levels are highest.. If the result is negative and period doesn't come within a week, consider consulting with a HEALTHCARE provider..

Female | 26
It happens often for newlyweds to face menstrual difficulties. Irregular, painful, or heavy periods could indicate stress, hormonal imbalances, or health problems. Note down details like start and end dates, flow intensity, and any accompanying discomfort. Consult a gynecologist who can diagnose the issue and suggest appropriate treatment.

Having periods after 11 days of intercourse... Any chance of pregnancy?
Female | 17
A woman could be pregnant if she gets a menstrual cycle after having sex for 11 days, but other times, this is not the reason behind it. You can see cramps in this regard or some bleeding that is not typical of a period. This may be due to the changes in your hormones, or there may be other issues that have lead to this. To diagnose the situation, it's advisable to take the pregnancy test a few weeks after the last time you had sex. Although it's not necessary to have periods after 11 days each month of the sexual act, it does occur sometimes, but it's not always indicative of pregnancy.

I am suffering from white discharge doctor after period
Female | 18
It's quite common to undergo a period discharge in white color after your period. It may be your body's self-cleaning method. Yet, if the discharge has a potent stench, is thick and lumpy, or triggers itching or burning, it might be a symptom of a yeast infection. These infections are generally treated with over-the-counter medications such as antifungal creams or suppositories. The use of water and cotton underwear that can breathe easily as well as drinking is the key to your body healing faster.

I have taken unwanted 72 before 6days can i take another pill now ? My period not yet started .
Female | 24
Unwanted 72 is to prevent pregnancy when taken within a timeframe after unprotected intercourse. Taking another dose within such a short timeframe may not provide any additional benefit and could potentially increase the risk of side effects.
