Why are my periods irregular and prolonged?
Irregular periods and last up to 12 days having spotted periods also in between
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 12th Feb '25
Irregular menstrual cycles lasting longer than usual, along with occasional spotting, can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in weight, or underlying health issues. These variations can be quite common, but it's important to monitor your symptoms. Keeping a calendar of your cycles can help identify patterns. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress may also support menstrual health. However, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist to discuss your experiences in detail. They can offer personalized insights and recommend appropriate tests or treatments.

I am a 26 year old female. I discovered fibroadenomas in my breast when I was 18. I have 8-9 lesions in each breast, not big ones. I get them checked every year. Is this something I need to be worried about?
Female | 26
It is good that you check your breast lumps every year. Fibroadenomas are growths in the breast that are not cancer. You may feel a lump or see changes in breast shape. These lumps happen when gland and tissue cells grow too much. Most times, no treatment is needed if the lump does not grow or hurt. Keep seeing your doctor each year, and you will be okay.

I Have do sex on my period 6 day I what to now there is a problem or not
Female | 20
Having sex on your period's 6th day is generally safe for most women, but it can sometimes increase the risk of infections. If you experience any unusual symptoms, it's best to visit a gynecologist for proper advice and care.

White discharge,hair loss ,lump on breast
Female | 20
White discharge by itself is normal, but a strong smell or itching suggests infection. Losing hair can happen due to stress, hormones, or lacking nutrients. Lumping your breast is serious. It may not be cancer, but you need to see a gynecologist right away to be sure it's harmless. A short exam observing these symptoms can determine what tests or treatment you require, if any.

I AM 15 Weeks pregnant and my TSH Harmone is 3.75 is it normal or I have required medicine
Female | 30
When you are 15 weeks pregnant, the TSH level at 3.75 is a minimally higher value than the ideal range for pregnancy, but it remains on the safer side. So if you are not at the stage of subclinical disease, this parameter indicates that your thyroid is not far from the ideal range for pregnancy.

My periods are delayed and we had sex from 31st October to 4th November.
Female | 25
Delayed in periods could be an indication of pregnancy. That should be confirmed with a pregnancy test. In case of a negative test, stress among other possible causes include weight changes and hormonal imbalances that can lead to delayed periods. It is recommended to visit a gynecologist for further diagnosis and management.

2 baar medicine khaa kara pregnancy lose karne ke baad next pregnant ho sakte hai
Female | 20
It is considered important to first recover from the physical and psychological aspects of miscarriages. Generally, the time when the menstruation cycle is back to its normal form is the right period for the attempt to get pregnant. Sickness on the nape of the neck, lack of periods, vomiting, and soreness in the breast are common during a normal pregnancy. When you include individual unit advising in this case, it would be very beneficial to carry out a consultation with your gynecologist.

I am 31 yo female, I have irregular period, got checked for pcos amd came out negative. In the past month I've been doin ovulation test daily at the same time, and since 16 days ago it started coming positive as I'm ovulating. And it's been positive for the whole 16 days, including today. I've been taking few pregnancy urine tests, one in the lab and the rest are at home, they all came back negative, no actual level on the urine lab, and I also been spotting/light bleeding last week while ovulating for about 3 days. All these three things are kinds going against each other and i don't know what to think about all of it. Me and my partner are having unprotected sex, we trying to get pregnant, but the pregnancy tests keep coming up negative. I am just very confused and don't know what to think. Thank you for your help
Female | 31
Continuous positive ovulation tests can indicate sustained luteinizing hormone levels but may not confirm pregnancy, especially with negative urine tests. Spotting during ovulation can occur and is often normal. Irregular cycles can complicate timing and hormone levels, affecting results. Since you’re trying to conceive, consider tracking your cycle closely and possibly consulting a gynecologist. They can offer further evaluation and guidance tailored to your circumstances.

I am 17. My periods are always late. I need help. My last period starts on march 24
Female | 17
During the teenage years, it is normal for periods to be irregular. Stress, diet and changes in routine can affect the timing. If you have had protected intimacy or other symptoms like acne, weight changes or excessive hair growth, it might be good to consider talking to a gynecologist.

During or after fingering, my girlfriend experiences a lot of burning and pain, which persists for two to three days. What should we do?
Female | 20
She must have an infection or an injury somewhere on the vaginal area. I recommend that she should go to see a gynecologist to get the specific diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, don't be active sexually to prevent the situation from getting worse or having further complications.

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.

Female | 31
sex during ovulation might result in a pregnancy. From your explanation, I can speculate a possibility that you are pregnant. I would like to propose that you make an appointment with a gynecologist and have further tests done for you to confirm.

Hiii Doctor I am Ramya i have vaginal infection most of itching ,like ringworm please suggest some cream or tablet to resolve immediately
Female | 26
You might be suffering from a yeast infection. Yeast infections can indeed cause vaginal irritation, just like ringworm. You can try clotrimazole, a non-prescription antifungal cream, to treat the infection. If the symptoms get worse over time, then consult a gynecologist for further diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms include pelvic pain, a feeling of bulging or fullness, and difficulty controlling the bladder. Factors like childbirth, being overweight, or lack of exercise can contribute to this condition. However, pelvic floor dysfunction shouldn't be seen as a barrier to marriage.

I had sex with my man and my vagina started burning after sex we tried having sex and it was painful so we stop I had put a vaginal cream and we had sex after a few hours and it stopped hurting that much but yellowish things started coming out I don’t know what’s wrong with me
Female | 21
You might be going through a yeast infection. Yeast infections usually occur after sex, especially if there was irritation. Symptoms include burning, pain during sex, and yellowish discharge. You can use vaginal creams to relieve the pain. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories can be used to treat a yeast infection at home. Wear cotton underwear and avoid tight clothes. If the symptoms persist, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

cervical polyps recurrence is normal or strange ?
Female | 36
Cervical polyps usually come back. Sometimes, one or more of the symptoms you experience are abnormal bleeding, pain, or spotting. The cause of this is not known with certainty, but it is most likely due to the changing hormone levels in the body, or prolonged infection that has not been cured. The polyp is often removed because it is usually problem-free. The doctor should closely monitor your health to know precisely everything is normal.

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.

Hi doctor I'm 22 age. Last month I had unprotected sex with my bf after that I saw his penis was foam. Then my period was late I check pregnancy test was negative. Still my stomach was pain. Is that the foam make a girl pregnant I'm worried about it and the stomach pain
Female | 22
The frothy stuff on your boyfriend’s penis isn’t going to make you pregnant. You might have bellyaches for lots of different reasons like nerves or a tummy bug. If your pregnancy test was negative, the pain probably isn’t related to being pregnant. However, if it doesn’t stop or gets worse, see a gynecologist to be safe.

Female | 25
Periods ka irregular hona aur delay hona kai wajah se ho sakta hai, jaise stress, hormonal imbalance, ya lifestyle changes. Jab aapne pregnancy test kiya aur faint line dekhi, toh ye indicate kar sakta hai ki shayad pregnancy hai, lekin result ko confirm karne ke liye test ko kuch din baad dobarah karna behtar hoga. Abhi aapko apne health par focus karna chahiye; sahi diet, exercise, aur relaxation se madat mil sakti hai. Agar periods nahi aate ya symptoms continue karte hain, toh please Gynecologist se milkar check-up zarur karein.
