Is My Contraceptive Pill Effective After Diarrhea?
Since 19th August I have been taking the contraceptive pill (brand Rigevidon) at the same time every day as close to 6pm. I experienced multiple diarrhoea cases in extreme liquid form on Monday 26th August in very early morning hours. This continued until night of Tuesday 27th August and as of today (28th August) my diarrhea is no longer as extreme liquid water from but still loose when I went. On Monday 26th August I took my pill at 6:15pm but soon had liquid diarrhea as mentioned. I had unprotected sex (pulled out 2 time) on 27th August (right after taking pill at 6pm exact) and had diarrhea shortly after intercourse and I am worried on effectiveness. I took emergency contraception within 24 hrs (Andalan postpil) but I had loose stool around 3 hours of taking and my BMI is 30.5. I then took my regular pill. Should I worry/ what to do?

Diarrhea certainly has the potential to disturb the working of your contraceptive pill. With diarrhea, the body may not completely take in the hormones of the pill, thus lowering its efficacy. This along with unprotected sex can definitely increase the chances of pregnancy. Having taken emergency contraception was a good move. Keep in mind that consistent pill use is important. If your loose stool still continuing, it would be a good idea to inform your gynecologist.

I am a 32 hear old lady. I am 4 months pregnant, 3 days ago I felt itchiness on my vagina area going up to the labia it was a strong burning sensation and today I noticed some rash on the area and the itchiness and burning is still there. What could be the cause I am married and we have unprotected sex with my husband.
Female | 32
This could be a yeast infection or it could be something called vulvar dermatitis which is common. These are more likely to happen when you’re pregnant because of the hormonal changes. You can use antifungal creams or soothing creams that are sold over the counter to help with these symptoms. You need to talk to your gynecologist about what’s going on so they can give you the right advice and treatment.

Mera miscouage ho gya tha .uterus ko complete clean krne k liye dr.ne medicine prefer ki thi . Abhi absotion tho complete ho gya lekin normal bleeding ho Rahi hain .bleeding ko band kaisa kar sakta hain
Female | 23
If women experience a miscarriage, they usually bleed to help the uterus recover. It may last for two weeks, though. Getting some rest, not lifting heavy items, and drinking a lot of water can also help reduce the bleeding. If bleeding is too heavy or you feel so weakened, don't forget to seek advice from your gynecologist.

Problem: my period is delayed by 3 days Brief history: last period on 10th April... Last sexual activity 16th Or 17th of April... Tried with norethisterone ip tablet to get period taken two doses of it yday night and today morning after having meal.. And trying with ginger tea since 3 days to get periods... But not happening instead I got acne at regular time of period... Also felt cramp for 1-2 time
Female | 20
It's common for menstrual cycles to vary occasionally in length, and a delay of a few days is not a serious issue always. Norethisterone is usually prescribed to delay periods, but if you've taken the medicine and still haven't got periods then consult your doctor.

Female | 24
If you missed your periods for two months and you're sure not pregnant, it could be due to stress, weight changes, PCOS, thyroid problems, or medications. You should see a gynecologist to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Female | 27
Based on your symptoms, I recommend you make an appointment with an endocrinologist who is an expert in hormonal deficiency. They may be able to discover a source of accumulated weight, such as hypothyroidism or PCOS. In the meantime, pay attention to your daily diet and regular exercise to promote overall health. Don't self-medicate with supplements or drugs without consent from a healthcare professional.

I am a 36 year old female. I sometimes see blood while peeing, what could the cause and the remedy doctor?
Female | 36
Having blood in your urine can be frightening, however, don’t panic. The most likely reason is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Symptoms might include pain with urination, having a frequent urge to urinate, and urine that is cloudy or smelly. Drink plenty of water to flush out the infection. Nevertheless, it is important to see a urologist so they can offer proper diagnosis and treatment.

Could I still test pregnant 5 weeks after abortion
Female | 28
If you've undergone an abortion and it has been five weeks since the procedure it is unlikely that a pregnancy test would yield a positive result. After an abortion, the pregnancy hormone gradually decreases in the body, and by five weeks post abortion, the hormone levels should have significantly diminished. But also every individual is different, and the timing may vary.. So you can talk your concerns to your gynecologist

Female | 20
Your period is 6 days late. You feel discomfort around your belly and back area. These signs may mean a stomach issue, muscle strain, or even pregnancy. A simple pregnancy test from the pharmacy can help clarify things. If the test shows positive or symptoms continue, see a gynecologist right away. They can provide appropriate medical advice for your situation.

Why do I got heavy periods on first day and second day only few?
Female | 23
It is quite normal for the first day periods to be heavier than those that follow. The explanation for this is that the endometrial lining of the uterus completely sheds on day one resulting in heavy menstrual flow. With every day the amount of shedding reduces reducing to a lighter flow. Nevertheless, should you develop unusual heavy bleeding or uncommonly long periods of menstrual flows visited a gynecologist for the assessment and treatment.

Nausea, lower back pain, lack of appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, and an increase in vaginal discharge are some of the signs that something could be wrong. These symptoms may point to a variety of diagnoses including the likes of pregnancy and infection. Rest, drink water, and eat light foods if you feel ill. Visit a gynecologist is critical to determine the cause and obtain the right treatment.

Female | 21
Hi, There are several causes for delayed periods. U first need to rule out pregnancy by taking a urine pregnancy test if it shows a single line means it’s negative. After that, u need to visit a nearby gynaecologist or a Sonologist and take transvaginal sonography of the pelvis and get your endometrial thickness checked, depending upon which the gynaecologist will give medicines to bring in periods If the urine test is positive then u need to go to the gynaecologist and she will explain you further details

Swollen /sensitive breasts before your period are common due to hormonal changes. These symptoms usually subside during your period. Visible veins in the breast can be normal. However, if the swelling persists after your period, it's best to consult a gynecologist personall;y.
