There are a variety of factors that can cause a delay in menstruation. STRESS, WEIGHT, and PCOS are all common. PREGNANCY or menopause are also possible explanations for a late period. If you are SEXUALLY ACTIVE, it is recommended that you take a pregnancy test. Otherwise, it may be best to simply WAIT IT OUT. If your period still hasn't arrived after a month, it's time to CONSULT A DOCTOR.

Hello sir/maam I'm married I had miscarriage of 6 weeks after that I did torch test in that I got cmv igg postive and hsv igg and igm positive what does it mean??
Female | 26
These results point that CMV antibodies, HSV IgG, and HSV IgM are positive. CMV and HSV are viruses that cause infections, the main reason for illness. IgG signifies a former infection, while IgM evidences a recent one. In the case of CMV, the symptoms might not occur, but it may come with flu-like issues and may also cause the baby to be born with it during the pregnancy. In the case of HSV, the symptoms can include blisters or sores of the mouth and the genitals. It is important to get medical advice from a gynecologist for confirmation of the disease and treatment options.

Female | 29
The effect of hormones on the body can sometimes lead to the irregularity of the periods because of having a fever. It is possible that the sudden stop and restart were due to this disruption. Be sure to be hydrated and also get enough rest. If this goes on or you have worries, it's always good to have a talk with your gynecologist.

Single wide loop of cord around fetal neck
Female | 21
Finding a cord loop around a baby's neck is common. Normally, this doesn't cause issues. The cord wraps when the baby moves. Babies can be born vaginally without issues. During delivery, doctors monitor the baby closely to ensure smoothness.

Can I travel by train in 8th months of pregnancy???
Female | 27
Traveling by train when you are eight months pregnant can be a bit dangerous. Right now you may be faced with the symptoms of swelling, pain, and fatigue. The perpetual motion of trains on this form of travel may contribute to your condition and aggravate your symptoms. It's better to avoid long train rides and instead select shorter ones near your house. Before you take any travel, always seek advice from a gynecologist.

I had protected sex on april four days after my period. The next month was period was a day late so i had one full papaya and ginger tea with other spice and jaggery and exercised a lot. My period arrived but was comparatively light normal clots and heavy cramps. Is there any possibility am pregnant
Female | 20
It's not probable for you to be pregnant if your menstrual cycle arrived even if it was a little different than usual. At times, periods may be lighter or heavier due to factors such as stress or dietary changes. Cramps and clots are also normal occurrences during menstruation. However, if you’re still concerned about being pregnant, take a pregnancy test.

My period should come in this week. I have been experiencing white vaginal discharge for past 2-3 days which have become a lot today. I am worried about pregnancy although i had protected sex followed by withdrawal method 3 weeks back.
Female | 20
This could be your body getting ready for your period. Stress or hormones can make it happen at other times too though. Since you used protection when having sex, there’s not much chance that this means pregnancy. Try not to get too worked up unless there are other strange signs along with the discharge, it’d be best to talk to a gynecologist.

I am 17 year old female I was masturbating when I had a little bleeding No pain But it scared me I rarely masturbate so I don't know what to think of this
Female | 17
If you happen to see some blood during masturbation and it does not feel painful, you may have nothing wrong. Once in a while the delicate tissues there get a little irritated and begin to bleed a bit. Go through a restful period and if it recurs or if you have any other issues, report to a gynecologist.

I am bleeding from my vagina again even tho it ended a week ago. I was sick when my period started last time and I am sick again so can that cause the period?
Female | 19
Illness can affect your periods, leading to irregular bleeding, tiredness, cramps, and abnormal flow. Rest and self-care can help, but if the irregularity continues, it's important to consult a gynecologist. Menstrual changes are a way for your body to signal something, so paying attention is key.

I am 28 days late on my period and my cycle is normally regular. I was meant to get my period around 1 August. My last period was around 1-6 July. I had intercourse on 20 and 21 July. 2 weeks ago, I had period-like pain and took a Clear Blue test. It came back negative. This was 17 August and I had some light spotting (brown and then red), but it was only when I wiped myself. Nothing more. Then on 20 August, I took another test, this time a digital Clear Blue one, it was also negative. Then 23 August, I took another and it was negative. It was a generic Dischem test. Then 24 August, I took another Clear Blue test and it was negative. On 26 August, I had some breast pain and tummy discomfort that felt like light tummy bug. I took 2 tests at different times - one Generic test from a chemist and one Safecare bio-tech rapid response. Both negative. On 28 August, I just took another test, it was another Safecare rapid response. Also negative. So far, I have taken 7 tests, all negative.

If you're 28 days late and still getting negative test results, it's less likely you're pregnant. Stress, weight fluctuations, and hormonal imbalance may be responsible for the delayed menses. Sometimes, the organism requires additional time to readjust. If you are worried, going to a gynecologist for a check-up can make you feel better.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, many couples choose to avoid sexual intimacy for reassurance and safety. Generally, once your wife's pregnancy is stable, you may resume your sexual life. This is usually acceptable after the first trimester unless advised otherwise by her gynecologist. It's crucial to communicate openly with your wife about comfort levels and concerns. If any complications arise or if there’s any doubt, please consult her gynecologist for personalized guidance.

I am not feeling periods from 5 days. What can be the reason? What should I do
Female | 23
Missing periods for 5 days may seem worrisome, yet there could be various causes. Stress often disrupts menstrual cycles. Rapid weight fluctuations also impact hormones regulating periods. Additionally, hormonal imbalances unrelated to stress or weight can occasionally throw off your cycle. If irregular cycles persist, consult a gynecologist.

Lower abdominal pain and white discharge
Female | 19
Lower abdominal discomfort paired with a light discharge can arise from various factors, such as infections, hormonal changes, or even stress. It's essential to monitor other symptoms like fever or unusual odor. Maintaining good hygiene and staying hydrated can help. However, I strongly recommend seeking advice from a gynecologist to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I'm a 17 year old girl .I'm suspecting that I might be pregnant but I did a home pregnancy test and it says negative but I'm experiencing changes in my body like painful belly button and headache
Female | 17
It's good that you took a pregnancy test, but sometimes they can show up negative even if you're pregnant. Pain around your belly button and headaches can have many causes like stress, constipation, or even a stomach bug. Water, good food, and enough sleep are all essential to your health. If this pain persists, it's wise to consult a pertinent authority for further advice. You can also talk to a trusted adult who will help you see a gynecologist.

No periods for last 1 month or pimple on face or acne
Female | 20
It's completely normal to experience changes in your menstrual cycle and skin, especially during periods of stress or hormonal fluctuations. Factors like diet, lifestyle changes, or underlying health conditions can also impact regularity and skin health. To help address these concerns, consider maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. For skin issues, gentle cleansing and suitable products can make a difference. However, it’s always a good idea to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and to rule out any underlying issues.

I have a reoccurring vaginal pimple on my left labia. this has been happening for a couple of months and i shave frequently, though this happens when there more sweat and shaving involved. the pimple shows up typically one to two weeks after shaving. i was wondering if i should be worried especially if it’s reoccurring?
Female | 17
It may be caused due to ingrown hair, blocked hair follicles, or skin irritation from shaving or sweat. TO avoid this, u can try keeping the area clean, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and considering alternative hair removal methods. If it still doesn't heal then check with a gynecologist for proper treatment.

I sex after 2 days of her periods his period cycle was 31 days can it's safe
Male | 23
Sex 48 hours after a woman's period will in most cases not lead to any problems. On average, 31-day cycles put the woman in her fertile days on day 17. In case they're focused on pregnancy being the right time to conceive, they should still use highly effective protection during the whole cycle. If they see any unusual signs such as pain or abnormal bleeding, they should go to the gynecologist for help.

Female | 28
The bleeding can be a result of the hormonal imbalance that is triggered by the pills. The side effects you are experiencing are also common. One must keep an eye on the bleeding and at the same time drink enough water. If the bleeding continues or worsens, it is important to get medical help from a gynecologist to ensure everything is fine.
