Why are my periods lasting longer than usual?
I got my period on December 15, and they are still ongoing. This has never happened before; earlier, my periods used to last only a week.

One of the causes of prolonged bleeding is hormonal problems, stress, or other health complications. It is advisable to monitor your symptoms very closely including pain and changes in the amount of blood. If your period does not stop in a week or if you have severe symptoms, it is better to go see a gynecologist. They can provide you with an individualized approach and will do tests if needed for clarification.

About menstrual problem which means I had my periods before 2 days but the flow of blood is very less
Female | 20
Variation from cycle to cycle in reproductive bleeding is not unusual. On the contrary, light bleeding periods may serve as an indication of some underlying medical condition such as hormonal imbalance or thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome. You should consult a gynaecologist, who will analyze your symptoms and provide an appropriate treatment.

Hello I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy and the past three days I have had a pinkish discharge, and light abdominal pains. Is it a normal thing to happen or what could be the cause
Female | 23
Any discharge or abdominal pain during pregnancy should not be ignored. It could be a normal change in the body or a sign of an underlying medical condition. Please visit your gynecologist for a thorough examination. They will be able to diagnose the cause of your symptoms and suggest next course of action

I have an itch in my bikini area… no discharge… no pain during urine… cottage white cheese in the vagina
Female | 27
It seems that you may have a yeast infection. The yeast is a very small germ that can cause itching of the skin and can lead to a white, cheese-looking discharge. You may use OTC antifungal creams to assist in getting rid of the yeast. Make sure to wear comfortable, breathable clothing and avoid using scented products in that area to help avoid infections in the future.

I got physical last month, and after that I didn't got periods I have did the pregnancy test but one time it shows negative and second time positive. So what can I do?
Female | 18
Changes in the menstrual cycle can take place for various reasons, such as hormonal changes, stress, or pregnancy. Since it is positive and negative for both of your examinations, it is better to discuss the issue with the concerned health professional. They will perform a more sensitive test and look into your overall health. This time, it will be a good idea to watch for any symptoms such as fatigue, or nausea, since these signs are indicators of pregnancy or some other health issues. You may consult a gynecologist.

Pregnancy all sentoms but periods is regular
Female | 19
You might be pregnant, but it's also possible that the menstrual cycle continues to be typical. Pregnancy generally comes with common signs such as tiredness, nausea, and breast tenderness. Women can sometimes have periods during early pregnancy. A pregnancy test is crucial for confirmation. Consult a gynecologist for more guidance if you suspect you might be expecting a child.

Does a girl gets her periods even in pregnancy?
Female | 19
A girl who gets pregnant does not experience her periods anymore. This is not a period, instead, it could be due to reasons such as hormonal changes or implantation bleeding. However, if a girl doubts that she might be pregnant and bleeds, it is safer to consult a gynecologist for further advice.

I had unprotected sex on 6th oct then next day I took I pill tablet on 7th oct on 13th oct I got withdrawal bleeding and stop on 16th oct and Today is 14th nov still not get period why??
Female | 23
I-pill is not 100% effective and has side effects involving changes in menstrual cycles. I-pill often causes delayed periods as a side effect. I would advise seeking the opinion of a gynecologist for consultation and evaluation to exclude other latent conditions.

Female | 28
Since you've received a positive pregnancy test result, it's important to consult a professional like an OB/GYN. Given your desire not to have more children at this time, they can provide information about your options, which might include continuing the pregnancy or considering alternatives like medical abortion or contraception.

Hello.... I am a 19 year old female suffering from chronic yeast infection.... I have been under antifungal and antibiotic treatment for 7 months now.... I have irritation,discomfort and vaginal burning ....I was asking what I should do or any medication I can take which would be effective for my condition... I am also sexually active and asking if my partner should take any medication or not...if yes,which medication? I would greatly appreciate your assistance since I'm under a lot of discomfort and pain
Female | 19
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.

I’m getting brown lines on my underwear and my periods are regular but the lines come in every day I’m clueless about it
Female | 20
Brown lines on your underwear are sometimes normal, but the main thing is to find out why. These lines can be a symptom of light bleeding that could be between your periods. This can sometimes be the result of hormonal alterations, infections, or other issues. Consulting a gynecologist is also a reasonable step to ensure that all is well and to get the appropriate therapy if necessary.

Female | 17
It is normal to have irregular periods because of different reasons including stress, hormonal changes or even weight changes. But in case this occurs continuously, it is recommended to consult with a gynecologist. Gynecologist will identify and treat any hidden conditions that may be responsible for irregular periods.

why is it tht my girlfriend is still bleeding yet she removed the ectopic pregnancy
Female | 19
An ectopic pregnancy removal can cause bleeding. Healing takes time. Bleeding may be the body's method for eliminating remaining tissue. Seek medical care if severe pain, heavy bleeding, or feeling unwell occur. Monitor for unusual symptoms closely. The body needs time to recover fully. Bleeding is a normal process, but excessive bleeding warrants medical attention. Don't ignore persistent or concerning symptoms.

Female | 21
If you've experienced pain and bleeding due to a broken hymen, you must address the discomfort. You can consider taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But please do follow the recommended dosage instructions on the medication's label and consult with a gynecologist if the pain persists or worsens.

After taking mtp kit of abortion,this is my 15th day and still spotting is continued.ultrasound has given an ok report but why still it's spotting
Female | Shivali
Spotting following an abortion medication is okay. Your body adjusts gradually. Spotting may continue briefly. Relax, drink lots of fluids, and avoid strenuous activity. If spotting persists beyond a couple week though, it's wise to consult your gynecologist again.

Female | 33
Using the Plan B may alter your menstrual cycle, which may include a delay in coming your period. But more than a week delay in periods should be checked with a gynecologist. Through physical exams and tests they rule out any underlying medical condition.

so let me give you some context first, she has PCOD. and get's irregular periods, but since 1-2 months she was having normal periods due to some medecines, which her doctor prescribed. But at that time, even before we "did that", her periods were late for 5-6 days already. What happened is I went to my gf's place on 7th June. and we thought of just doing kisses and cuddles. But later on we crossed our limits and i got more aggressive towards her, which she liked. So she was giving me a handjob, and told me that there's some precum on her hand. But it dried really fast due to the fan and cooler. And later on I was rubbing my dick on her vagina without any clothes, and spreaded her outer area and she was getting hurt by it. I didn't went deep inside. and stopped there and after a bit she wore clothes and went to the washroom to clean herself down there and peed too. I didn't ejaculate inside her, and I'm not sure but i guess there wasn't precum either inside her. But not sure. And it's been many days since then, and she still hasn't gotten her periods yet. Her doctor doesn't know about the thing we did, and he just said that it's normal, and she'll get periods after her medecine. Today is her last dose of medicine left. We are worried that she might get pregnant? Ofcourse we don't want that to happen. Can you please help us out and tell us something? We're still not so old and responsible in both mentally and financial ways to take care of a baby
Female | 20
If you’re worried about a possible pregnancy, don’t be. The chances of it happening from what you’ve said are very slim. If there was no ejaculation or confirmed pre-cum inside her, then there is almost no risk at all. Stress can also delay periods. Tell her to relax as much as possible. If her period still doesn’t come, take a home pregnancy test to be sure.
