It's understandable to feel concerned about these sudden changes. Bleeding after several years can be caused by various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying medical conditions. Swelling in your ankles may indicate fluid retention, which could be linked to your symptoms. I recommend consulting a gynecologist promptly to discuss these changes, as they will offer you personalized advice and appropriate tests. They can help determine the underlying cause and suggest suitable treatments.

I have sex on my periods by percum ... after 3 days of sex i had unwanted 21 ...one pill of it ...now its 5 day i am bleeding ..now am i pregnant or not

Female | 20

A sperm can survive for 5 days in a woman's reproductive system and thus in the case of intercourse that might take place during periods, pregnancy is more likely with precum than with no-sperm-exposed intercourse. Unwanted 21 controls pregnancy which is a good thing, but the early occurrence of bleeding is called breakthrough bleeding. It is your body that is adapting to the pill. Be alert for signs such as nausea, ache in the breasts, or the non-appearance of the menstrual period. Take a pregnancy test if your period is late, and if you're feeling unsure, in a couple of weeks to be sure.

I have taken emergency pill yesterday and today i noticed white creamy discharge do i have to worry about this?

Female | 17

It is a common side effect of the emergency pill and its likely a normal vaginal discharge that occurs due to hormonal fluctuations. It's mostly similar to the discharge experienced during the normal menstrual cycle.

If you miss your menstrual cycle after you have had unprotected sex and you think that you are pregnant, taking a pregnancy test is highly recommended to avoid self-deception.

Can I take Norethisterone tablet to postpone my periods

Female | 23

Norethiste­rone tablets postpone pe­riods, maintaining uterine lining ove­r extended duration. Short-te­rm usage is safe. Howeve­r, potential side effe­cts mirror menstrual symptoms: abdominal discomfort, headaches, nause­a. Strictly adhere to the physician's prescribe­d dosage instructions to circumvent complications.
