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.

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 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.

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.

If you continue to experience symptoms such as missed periods or abdominal pain, even after a negative pregnancy test, it is important to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

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.

I missed my periods for 3 days but test results negative

Female | 25

MISSING periods for a few days is common.. Test results negative means no pregnancy.. Stress, weight changes, and hormonal issues can cause missed periods.. Consult a doctor if you miss periods for 2-3 months...

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

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.
