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.

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.

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..

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.

I'm having a pregnancy scare, I had protected sex 2 days after my period and it's been 25 days now, my period is a day late and I've taken a pregnancy test which came out negative

Female | 18

in protected sex pregnancy is not possible. Delayed mensuration may indicates other issues like stress, hormonal imbalance etc. Wait for few more days or if you are worried plz visit your gynecologist
