Why Am I Bleeding After Menopause with Ankle Swelling?
I've had my menus pause 3-4 years ago. Yesterday suddenly I'm bleeding and having my periods again and even my ankles have swollen . What is the cause eof such happening suddenly

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 20th Feb '25
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 am rly itchy (down there but like inside) and I have a smell and thick white discharge and it’s been like this for about a week
Female | 17
It seems that you’ve got a yeast infection. Yeast are small organisms that can live in warm, humid places like inside your body. The overgrowth of them is the cause of itchiness, thick white discharge, and a smell. You may experience this more after taking antibiotics or wearing tight clothes. You can get over-the-counter creams to help treat it, but if it doesn't get better, it's important to talk to a gynecologist. Besides, wearing loose cotton underwear and avoiding perfumed products can help with the prevention of these infections in the future.

I am 20 years old I am suffering white discharge nearly one month give any suggestions
Female | 20
Experiencing white discharge can be common and may result from hormonal changes, infections, or pregnancy. It is crucial to monitor any accompanying symptoms like itching or odor. Maintaining hygiene and wearing breathable fabrics can help manage this condition. However, if the discharge continues, becomes abnormal, or is accompanied by discomfort, I would strongly encourage you to seek advice from a Gynecologist. They can provide a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment options.

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.

Actually I got jelly like blood clots with cheesy white discharge while I am not my periods.my periods finished just 10 days before.i have also a urine infection.
Female | 19
The jelly-like blood clots and unusual discharge you are experiencing, especially following your recent menstrual cycle, can be due to several factors, including hormonal fluctuations or an infection. Given that you also have a urinary infection, this may contribute to your symptoms. It's crucial to stay hydrated and maintain hygiene. However, the best course of action is to consult a gynecologist. They can provide a thorough examination and appropriate treatment tailored to your needs.

I did pregnancy test but it is unclear. One line is prominent while other one is almost invisible. I want to know what does that mean. If it’s positive, I need to go for abortion. Kindly prescribe medicines. It is for your reference that my last periods started on 28/12/2022. And last I had intercourse on 12/01/2023.
Female | 26
It could be an indication of a very early stage of pregnancy. Get a proper evaluation by a gynecologist to confirm your pregnancy.

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.

I am a 18-year-old female me and my partner have been having unprotective sex for the past 2 to 3 days today I recently started having abdominal pain this afternoon or evening. I have been feeling nauseous as well. What do I do? I have taken several pregnancy tests and they all come back negative.
Female | 18
Abdominal pain and nausea are two of the most common symptoms that can have different causes. It is encouraging that you have undergone pregnancy tests, but it is also possible that the symptoms are due to another condition. It is important to investigate other explanations such as a stomach bug or food poisoning. Do not forget to keep hydrated, sleep, and eat light, bland food. If your symptoms continue or worsen, consult a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis.

Female | 16
If you are getting brown discharges and flesh blobs instead of a normal period, this may be a sign of abnormally heavy bleeding. I will strongly suggest you go to a gynecologist and have a thorough examination as well as a diagnosis done.

My period has not come for almost two months now.
Female | 23
Your period skipping two months is worrisome. Hormonal shifts, perhaps due to stress, weight fluctuation, or medical issues, frequently cause this. Irregular cycles happen routinely and aren't necessarily abnormal. Still, consulting a gynecologist can eliminate serious causes and guide managing irregularity.

Female | 25
It's important to keep an eye on irregular periods. They can signal hormonal imbalances, stress changes, or even medical issues. Tracking your cycle helps you notice any shifts in cycle length. But when your cycle is irregular, knowing when you're fertile can be tricky. If you're worried, talk to a gynecologist about it.

If by mistake sperm is inserted in the vagina 4 days before the period, can one get pregnant
Female | 21
If sperm accidentally enters the vagina about 4 days before a period, there is a chance of pregnancy. Fertilization can happen if both the sperm and egg are present. To prevent pregnancy, you can consider emergency contraception. It’s best to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Periods delay by 10-12 days Red blood discharge from last 2 days
Female | 20
It's common to worry about a delay in your period and red discharge. Changes such as stress, hormonal fluctuations, or lifestyle alterations may take place. This discharge could be a sign of ovulation or other things, but it is crucial to check your symptoms regularly. If this persists or if it is accompanied by pain, please contact a gynecologist for a personalized consultation.

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.

I have been sexually active in this month for the first time in terms of sex ..we had protected sex..but sometimes it was without contraception but there was not any semen injected inside me ..I have missed my periods..my last period was on 22 feb and it's ,29 March I haven't god my periods....
Female | 25
Your period is late, it's understandable you feel anxious. Skipped periods can occur for various reasons - stress, and hormonal fluctuations. Since you had protected intercourse, pregnancy is improbable. It's common for periods to be irregular, without underlying issues. However, if irregularity persists, consulting a healthcare professional could ease your concerns. Don't worry yet, but do seek medical advice from a gynecologist if the problem continues.

Why is my period 2 days late? Last intercourse was on day 7 of my 27-29 days cycle
Female | 23
There is not always something that can be wrong just by a couple of days of late periods. On the other hand, occasionally these spottings might come along as a symptom of pelvic pain or heavy bleeding at which time the advice of a gynecologist should be sought.

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.
