What are the risks of frequent emergency pill use?
I'm concerned about the potential side effects of taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently. I've heard that taking them multiple times a month can cause problems, but I'm not sure what those issues are. Can you provide information on the potential risks of taking an i-Pill twice a month?

Answered on 17th Feb '25
Taking emergency contraceptive pills like i-Pill frequently can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. While occasional use is generally safe, relying on them could disrupt your hormonal balance, making it harder to predict your cycle. The best approach for birth control is to consult a gynecologist who can recommend a suitable long-term method tailored to your needs. This way, you can ensure effective protection while minimizing any risks associated with emergency contraception.

can siparlactone 100mg cause random periods even if you already had one this month
Female | 32
Siparlactone 100mg may lead to unpredictable bleeding occurrences, even after experiencing your monthly cycle. This medication can disrupt hormone levels, causing additional bleeding episodes. During such an event, cramping or headaches could accompany the bleeding. If faced with this situation, ensure proper hydration and adequate rest. However, if heavy or prolonged bleeding persists, consulting a gynecologist is advisable for appropriate guidance and recommendations.

Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex but he didn't finished inside me and i took ipill so am i pregnant?haven't got my periods.
Female | 17
Pregnancy happens when the sperm meets the egg. You can worry when your periods do not come, but other things like stress, changes in your body, or the pills you take can make your periods late. If you are still worried, you should take a pregnancy test to be sure. Talk to a gynecologist about other ways to not get pregnant in the future.

I'm 22 yrs old. I missed periods 8days .yesterday I will check pregnancy kit us faint line and today is bleeding
Female | 22
The missed menstrual cycle along with the bleeding can be due to several things, such as pregnancy, hormonal changes, or stress. You may be pregnant, although the dim line on the test can be the starting point. The bleeding might be the result of something else. I suggest you keep an eye on your period and do your best to prevent feelings of panic. It is the right decision to see a doctor for a thorough check-up and precise diagnosis. You will be the sole receiver of their individualized advice which will cover your condition completely and everything will be in good shape.

I am unmarried and experiencing breast pain and my breast are producing milk when I press them is it some infection or something else
Female | 26
The breast pain and milk production you described seem worrying. This may be galactorrhea - milk from breasts without pregnancy or nursing. Hormonal issues, certain meds, or thyroid/pituitary problems could cause it. Visiting a gynecologist is wise for evaluation and proper care.

My period finished on 12th September. Suddenly today I am experiencing spotting and every 2 min..I have urges to urinate. What could be the possible reason?
Female | 31
You might be dealing with a urinary tract infection. With this problem, you may find yourself having some bloody spots along with a constant need to urinate. A urinary tract infection occurs when the bacteria enters the urinary tract. Drinking plenty of water and seeing a urologist for medicines will help you recover from this.

Can Day 21 progesterone blood test be done on Day 22?
Female | 33
Yes, a progesterone blood test on Day 22 would also be useful but the exact amount of hormone will be lower than the optimal one. It is crucial to visit a gynecologist or an endocrinologist in case you have problems with your menstrual calendar or future chances of getting pregnant.

Me and my girlfriend has sex 2 time before period but she got periods after 1 week can she stil get pregnant
Female | 24
If a girl has sex before her expected period and then it comes on, she is likely not pregnant. However, some women may have light bleeding or spotting in the early weeks of pregnancy which can be mistaken for a period. If your girlfriend’s cycle was normal with the usual flow for 3-5 days then she is probably okay. Periods are sometimes irregular due to stress among other things so I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless there are other signs as well.

I had my last periods from 23june to 27 June we had an unprotected sex on 15th july and same day I have taken pill 72 now my periods should have started around 24th July but I didn’t even have bleeding and no spotting Now I started having white discharge bit more than before. What should I do
Female | 22
The white discharge could be one of the normal things that happen from time to time. Hormonal modifications in your body can also be the reason for that. The emergency pill you took may be affecting your cycle as well. If you're still worried, a pregnancy test can be the reassurance you need. Try not to stress - it can be the reason for your period to be delayed too.

My periods is not stoped after 9days
Female | 15
Noticing your period lasts more than 9 days? That's longer than usual. Hormonal issues, stress, medical conditions, or birth control could cause it. Keep track of flow and other symptoms like bad pain or weakness. It may be wise to see a gynecologist to discuss concerns and find solutions.

This is most often caused by an infection called bacterial vaginosis. You might also feel itchy or have a burning sensation. The usual cure is to see a gynecologist who will give you antibiotics after diagnosing the problem.

When is it safe to take a pregnancy test
Female | 28
For accurate results, take a home pregnancy test after you have missed your period or a few days before if the test claims to be early detection. Use morning urine for accuracy and follow the test instructions carefully as given.

Hii doctor,This is saranya . From two days I am urinating frequently than before. Now today is 3rd day of period. Is anything problem or its common. I didn't face like this before on periods.less bleeding on period.
Female | 28
Increased frequency of urination during your period is common due to hormonal changes. However, if you have significant changes or other symptoms like burning or discomfort, it's best to consult a gynecologist or a urologist to check and treat issues like UTI, if it is.

I'm 25 yrs old I got married since 6 months back so i have missed my period on March 17 i have check the pregnancy test but there is no pregnancy I didn't get my periods due to hormonal imbalance till . So I'm using pills now so can i get chance to get pregnancy now.
Female | 25
It seems that you are dealing with hormonal changes which might cause missed periods. This imbalance can be caused by stress, changes in weight, or underlying health conditions. They have estrogen in them and are used for regulating hormones, but are also contraceptives, which can also impair your fertility. Getting advice from a gynecologist on the matter would be a more reasonable step to undertake.

Female | 39
It's normal to experience light spotting sometimes, which can occur due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, ovulation, or early pregnancy. Since you mentioned the absence of spotting today, it may indicate that your body is simply adjusting. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms like severe pain, heavy bleeding, or if the spotting recurs then consult a gynecologist for personalized advise.

Its 4th feb now and didnt have my periods. I have abdominal pain sometimes. Earlier i never had problem related to periods , i used to have my periods on the given date only. I had protected sex on 5th January, still i get tested with the kit its showing negative.
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

It is crucial to be aware that the fact that a person has intercourse does not mean that the person will necessarily become pregnant. You should go to a gynecologist if you are already pregnant.
