Answered on 8th Aug '24
If you have symptoms like itching, soreness, and a different kind of secretion, it could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. These viral infections can occur when there are too few beneficial bacteria in the vagina. Avoid using scented products in that area and wear cotton underwear to stay cool and comfortable. You can get over-the-counter yeast infection treatments but for bacterial infections, you need to see a gynecologist for antibiotics.

I had last period on 22 april today is 30 may i missed my periods i tested twice with prega news the test is negative both the times why am i missing my period
Female | 25
There could be several reasons why you missed your period. For some people, it might be due to stress or changes in weight while for others it could be a result of hormonal imbalances or medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, you may also notice acne breakouts, increased facial hair growth, and sudden gain or loss of weight among other symptoms. A gynecologist can determine the cause if you are not pregnant after taking several tests and recommend appropriate treatment.

Hello, I have herpes type 1. Yesterday I saw a breakout coming. The blister wasn’t very big, it was more red than yellowish. I was with my boyfriend and we spent the night. Today afternoon I put ethanol and acyclovir topically and after 2-3 hours the blister erupted. I’m afraid if I transmitted the virus to my boyfriend. I try to be cautious and avoid sexual intercourse while having an outbreak. I thought it wasn’t very dangerous because the blister hadn’t developed, but I’m really afraid if I transmitted the virus.
Female | 20
If you had active outbreak there are chances that the virus can be transmitted even if the blister was not fully developed. Avoid intercourse during outbreaks to reduce the risk of transmission. Communicate with your gynec about how to manage your outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission to your partner.

If I have unprotected sex 3 days before my periods will I still get them
Female | 20
There is still the possibility of getting pregnant if you have had unprotected sex three days before your period is due. This is because sperm can live for a few days inside the body. Not having your period might be a sign that you are pregnant. If you’re worried, after missing a period you can take a pregnancy test to find out for sure.

I have sex 2 months ago...last month I got my period but this month it delayed..is pregnancy possible??
Female | 22
There is a possibility that you can be pregnant if you had unprotected sex two months ago, even though you got your period last month. Some of the pregnancy signs are nausea, tiredness, and breast tenderness. Stress or hormonal changes can also be the reason for a period of delay. If you want to be sure, the home pregnancy test is the solution.

"My issue is that my period is delayed this time. Let me explain everything. I got my period on September 18, then on October 15, and then on November 11, but I didn't get it in December. I had sex on December 11, but my husband did not ejaculate inside me. I wanted to ask if pregnancy can occur from the white egg-like discharge becausel still haven't gotten my period. My last period date was the 11th of last month."
Female | 22
When a woman has her period late, stress may be the reason, or hormone levels have changed due to excess sexual activity. A slimy white discharge similar to an egg is a sign of health and thus discharge could be a normal part of your cycle. However, the discharge does not have a high chance of being a symptom of pregnancy. If you feel uncertain, carry out a home test and wait for a few days if your period has not come. Or you can go to a gynecologist if it concerns you.

I had dry discharge and periods date is today and it's not come so I test with pregnancy kit and it's negative so it's come tomorrow or not I am worried about that
Female | 20
When periods get irregular, it's understandable to feel concerned. Dry discharge and a skipped cycle could stem from stress, hormonal shifts, or routine disruptions. A negative pregnancy test might also mean you tested too soon. Remain composed; wait another week. If your period still doesn't arrive, retest or consult a gynecologist.

My breast is bringing out breastmilk please can u prescribe a drugs that can stop it
Female | 27
You may have a condition known as galactorrhea, which is the case when your breasts produce milk even when you are not breastfeeding. The most common reasons are hormonal imbalances, some medications, thyroid problems, or even stress. In this situation, your doctor might recommend medication to adjust your hormone levels to normal. It's essential to get in touch with a gynecologist who will be able to find the root cause and prescribe the right treatment.

My last period at Apr 8 but I still didn't get date but today I have taken pregnancy test..it's positive but I don't have any symptoms...is it safe pregnancy or not
Female | 26
A positive pregnancy test indicates that you are pregnant. Not everyone experiences the same pregnancy symptoms, and some people might not have noticeable symptoms early on. So lack of symptoms doesn't necessarily mean an unsafe pregnancy, you need to consult a gynecologist for confirmation

You should contact your gynecologist if you have failed to track your period. Delayed menstruation can be caused by diverse origins such as probably hormonal imbalances, stress, weight changes, or health conditions.

I’m 18 and I did oral things with my partner and there wasn’t any intercourse, It’s been 2 weeks ands 4 days and I’m 6 days late for my periods. What are the chances of pregnancy?
Female | 18
It's understandable to feel concerned about your period being late. Engaging in oral activities typically carries a very low risk of pregnancy, especially without intercourse. However, various factors can delay menstruation, including stress, hormonal changes, and lifestyle behaviors. To address your concern, consider taking a home pregnancy test for reassurance. If your period doesn't arrive soon or if you have other symptoms, I recommend scheduling a visit with a gynecologist for guidance. They can provide personalized support based on your situation.

I noticed I do pee blood immediately after sex for the pass view month now
Male | 29
It's crucial to be aware if you detect blood in your urine after sexual intercourse. This can be attributed to a few reasons like a urinary tract infection or bladder irritation. This is what happens when the delicate tissues of the urinary tract get affected during sex. It is a good idea to drink enough water and urinate after sex to help remove any bacteria. Besides, use enough lubricant during sex to avoid any friction that may cause bleeding. If you still notice blood in your urine, it would be best to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and advice.

Why am I having vaginal spotting with a negative pregnancy
Female | 30
Women sometimes get spotting from the vagina when not pregnant. There are lots of possible reasons - hormones changing, feeling stressed, or a minor infection. If no pain and not too much blood, it's likely okay. Stay calm, drink water, and eat good food. But if it keeps happening or worries you, it's wise to talk to a gynecologist to be sure everything's fine.

Am on 10th days on periods but light flows am getting worried what can l use to stop it
Female | Melaine
It is quite natural for you to get worried about long-lasting menstrual blood loss. Light discharge over 10 days may happen because of different causes such as hormonal changes, stress, or lifestyle modifications. Rather than trying to stop it alone, focus more on your health by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water. If the strange-shade bleeding does not go and/or is followed by a lot of discomfort, it is best to consult a gynecologist who knows more about these things.

Vaginal itching with brown discharge may be attributed to some reasons. It can be through an infection like a yeast infection and/or bacterial vaginosis. At times hormonal changes related period may also bring this. Relieve the itching by wearing cotton underwear, not using aromatic products, as well as keep the area clear and dry. In case the itching persists, see a gynecologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

I had n intercourse without protection on 5th day (19 june 2024 ) of my periods and I think it was my safe zone.. But still I ate unwanted 72 within 24 hrs and yesterday night bleeding occurred how many days will this bleeding stop? And is it normal?
Female | 25
No need to panic, hemorrhaging and all the confusion you felt after taking unwanted 72 are more common than you think. The blood you're currently seeing may most likely be the emergency contraceptive pill. It's normal to experience irregular bleeding or spotting after using it. This bleeding should stop within a few days, usually 3 to 5. However, if it drags on and becomes more severe, you should better get in touch with a gynecologist.

I m 22 years female, having pcod before hand only, i am getting irregular periods from aug, in aug, i got periods 2 times with the tym slot of 10-15 days, in sep too, with the time slot of 10 days, in oct, i got periods i time with 10 days, and spotting after 10 days for few hours only. What can be the reason for this. I am quite overweight too, according to my bmi.
Female | 22
Your situation seems to be associated with your PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease). With PCOD, our hormones can be imbalanced, which may result in irregular periods. Having excess weight may also lead to this. Symptoms such as irregular periods and spotting can result from changes in the hormonal system. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and keeping a healthy weight can be beneficial in treating the symptoms. It's important to get a gynecologist's advice for a more personalized treatment.

I am period are didn't come but I have pcod problem I done unprotected sex also . Am I pregnant
Female | Ujwala
PCOD can be the cause of irregular periods. It is possible that pregnancy can occur if a woman has sexual intercourse without protection. Such symptoms as nausea, tiredness, and breast tenderness are evidence of early pregnancy. The only way to be sure is by taking a home pregnancy test. Moreover, anxiety is another factor that can delay the periods. Always remember that it is best to confirm with a gynecologist if you have any doubts.

Female | 25
The troubles you are feeling such as white discharge, pain all over your body, feeling faint, lack of recent period and desire to throw up might mean that you have an infection or are pregnant. The signs of disease are similar to those of pregnancy, so don't be shocked if it turns out that way but also keep in mind this other possibility. Take a pregnancy test at home if not to clear your doubts. Getting more advice from a gynecologist can also help.
