I'm really sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this problem for so long. Chronic yeast infections can become a very big hassle and might warrant your doctor finding a new strategy. It's very important that you go to a doctor who can look at what's going on with your particular case and who can prescribe treatment to address the problem head-on because antibiotic use is one of the main causes that brings back the infection. Products like over-the-counter antifungal might alleviate the condition, but the advice from a healthcare professional is equally important. It’s also necessary for your partner to seek medical help and the doctor might prescribe other drugs for the next vaginal treatment. By working together you can come up with surefire tactics to facilitate and prevent future symptoms. Always remember your well-being and comfort are important so, make sure to get help from a professional.

Can we get negative report at hcg blood test after missed period. I missed my period next day I went to blood test I got negative result. It will happen like that if we go early can you tell

Female | 26

It's normal to receive a negative result on an hCG blood test right after the missed period. Sometimes, the test can't detect pregnancy because it's too early. Therefore, if you still experience symptoms such as nausea and breast tenderness, you can retest a week later. However, it is also important to be calm and patient. If you're still confused, getting a second opinion is a good idea.

I am 19 year old female and I had unprotected sex on 27 April for the first time and within 45 min I took the unwanted 72 tablet...my periods are delayed about 3 days....when will my periods come ???

Female | 19

Sometimes taking emergency contraceptive pills like Unwanted 72 can make your period come late, this is normal. Anxiety and stress also play a role in postponing periods. Give your period a week or more, it should show up.

Hi i had sex with my bf on 19 when my ovulation was on 18 and after that 5 days ago i had my periods but it wasnt like a period i would have . They lasted 2 days and on the second day it became pinkish and brownish and after that no more blood for the further days too and i had transparent discharge and now i feel nausea

Female | 18

Irregular or abnormal menstrual bleeding can occur due to many reason like hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in contraceptive methods, etc. It doesn't always mean that its about pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's advisable to take a pregnancy test to get a clearer understanding of your situation.

I am 20 yrs old female having pain and swelling in vaginal area with body pain and weakness. There is a bad odour from vagina and white liquid discharge.

Female | 20

You may have a yeast infection. Pain, swelling, a bad odor, and a white discharge, are all signs of this problem. Yeast infections can be caused by several factors, such as a weak immune system, antibiotics, or wearing tight clothes. To treat this, you can do it through over-the-counter antifungal cream or pills. As for hygiene, maintaining the dryness of the area and adding cotton underwear can also assist in that.

My mother have bleeding alternate day from last 4-5 days after 13 years from end of menstruation,is it serious?

Female | 62

Bleeding through after menopause is not a normal occurrence and may be an indication of another serious disease. With these symptoms, sher should consult an Obstetricist to determine the causes of such complications by determining if there is underlying issues like infections etc. This requires an expert.

I am facing yeast infection first time. Do I take one fluconazole tablet per day or a tablet in 3 days

Female | 20

Yeast infe­ctions are quite common. They occur when your body has too much ye­ast. This imbalance can result in itching, burning, and strange discharge­. If it's your first time experie­ncing a yeast infection, the typical tre­atment is one fluconazole pill take­n in a single day. Fluconazole kills the fungus re­sponsible for the infection. Howe­ver, you must follow the medication instructions pre­cisely.
