Why Am I Experiencing Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding After Norethisterone?
Hi, so like two weeks ago i used norethisterone to delay my menstrual period, then i stopped after like 5 days and i started my period 3 days after stopping the norethisterone but ive been on my period for 1 week + now tho the past three days has been more of spotting i want to know if it's just the side effects of the norethisterone

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

It's common to experience irregular bleeding after taking norethisterone, as your body may need time to adjust to hormonal changes. Spotting following a heavier flow is usually a normal side effect. However, if your period lasts longer than a week, or if you have any discomfort, it would be wise to seek medical advice from gynecologist.

Morning my name is Gesina i am 59 years old i stop menstrual for 15 years and suddenly start this morning
Female | 59
It's understandable to feel concerned about unexpected bleeding after such a long time. This could be due to hormonal changes, benign growths, or other conditions. Symptoms may include light to heavy bleeding and occasional discomfort. It's essential to keep track of any additional changes you notice. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss your symptoms in detail and undergo any necessary evaluations.

I’m not sure if I have a yeast infection, UTI, or what. I do know I have something though. My symptoms are: - Rare itching - Smelly white/light yellow tint creamy discharge (comes out all day) - Burns sometimes when I pee (like I have a scratch) and a little blood is on the tissue when I wipe
Female | 21
You might have a yeast infection. Yeast infections are often characterized by the genital area where there is an itchy rash, a smelly discharge, and a painful feeling when urinating. They are caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina. You can try antifungal creams from the pharmacy. Wearing cotton underwear and avoiding perfumed products are very important. If the symptoms don't go away, see a gynecologist for another check-up and treatment options.

It's a normal thing to feel scared though your periods are late. One notable cause that causes the delay in periods could be stress or changes in your daily habits. Another thing to keep in mind is the elements like feeding, exercise, and sleep. Consult a gynecologist in case the issue persists.

I am a 35 years old woman and trying to conceive from last 3 months. But we are not successful yet and this time also my period has started. We have not consulted to any doctor yet. Do I need to take any medicines for that?
Female | 35
It's completely normal for conception to take some time, even up to a year for many couples. Factors like stress, diet, and hormonal changes can influence fertility. Consider tracking your menstrual cycle and ovulation patterns, as this may help with timing. While medical intervention isn't immediately necessary, consulting a gynecologist can provide personalized guidance and reassurance. They can evaluate your overall health, discuss any symptoms, and recommend appropriate steps if needed.

After sex I saw that one muscle came out from my vagina and also after sex I took contraceptive pills.... after finishing my periods I again got my periods in the gap of 10 days.
Female | 18
You could have uterine prolapse, which occurs when a vaginal muscle falls out. Moreover, taking birth control pills irregular bleeding may occur. This is likely to be a result of hormonal changes induced by the pills. Visiting a gynecologist is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment tailored to your needs.

It's possible that your period delay could be due to stress or hormonal imbalance, but since you had unprotected sex, it would be wise to take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. For your period irregularity, please consult a gynecologist who can provide proper guidance and treatment.

Female | 21
It sounds like you are experiencing significant discomfort during your menstrual cycle, which can sometimes be associated with conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. The accompanying nausea and bowel changes may indicate that there is inflammation or other factors at play. Given your difficulty conceiving over the past three years, it's essential to seek a medical evaluation for a comprehensive assessment. A gynecologist can explore potential underlying causes and develop a tailored treatment plan.

I'm a 23 year old girl I had sex on the 25th December and I'm using implant for prevention I just got my period after a month so will I.get pregnant if I remove the implant now
Female | 23
When it's an implant, it's a birth control method that is very effective. If you pull it out, the fertility cycle is expected to return to normal in a few weeks, which means the possibility of getting pregnant is still there if you have unprotected sex. The fact that you had your last menstruation shows normal hormonal balance. If you're contemplating implant extraction, it's better to visit the gynecologist and talk over the reproduction implications corresponding to your plans. They can give you an individualized recommendation supported by your specific condition thus assisting you in acquiring the necessary knowledge for your sexual health.
