Why is my 20-year-old autistic sister's labia sagging?
Hello Doc. My sister is 20 and autistic. She cannot express herself too well. I only noticed this morning that one of her labia minora had dropped and become very long and become saggy. What should I do?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 14th Feb '25
Changes in the labia, such as elongation or sagging, can occur for various reasons, including hormonal changes or natural anatomical variations. While it can be concerning, these variations are often harmless. However, given your sister’s age and specific needs, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist who can evaluate her condition more thoroughly.

Hi doctors i m 7 weeks pregnant and i wanted to abort this pregnancy.i decided to abort it on 7 of May so should i start taking mifepristone from now on or should i take it on 7 itself and what will be doses of mifepristone and misopristone?
Female | 25
If you want to end a pregnancy at seven weeks, you should start the process on May 7th. First, you will take a pill called mifepristone. This is usually one dose. Next, you will take another pill called misoprostol to finish the procedure. Your gynecologist will tell you how much of each pill to take. You may have cramps and bleeding, which is normal.

My period comes later and is followed by brown discharge and fleshy blobs
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.

I had sex on Jan 20 and I got periods on Feb 3 on time . But in March I'll not getting periods still
Female | 21
Missed periods after sexual activity raises pregnancy concerns. However, stress, hormonal issues, or weight fluctuations could also disrupt menstruation. A pregnancy test offers clarity. If negative, consulting a gynecologist is advisable for proper diagnosis and guidance. Ruling out pregnancy initially remains crucial in such situations.

There is confusion that , intercourse has been done using safety but there is no regular periods is that indication of pregnancy, then how to prevent that pregnancy since it has been done 20 days.
Female | 22
If there is a delay in periods despite using protection during intercourse, it might be due to various reasons including stress, hormonal imbalances, or pregnancy. To prevent pregnancy after 20 days, it is too late for emergency contraception, but consulting a gynecologist is crucial. They can provide appropriate guidance and check for pregnancy or other underlying issues.

Maine 4 April ko sex Kiya tha r av Tak white discharge hora hai periods ka date bhi chala gaya periods ni aaya m I pregnant
Female | 29
Missing your period and seeing white mucus after sex could mean that the lady is pregnant. Some women feel sick or have sore boobs when they get pregnant. A baby starts when a man’s seed joins with a woman’s egg. Take a test in case you suspect that you are pregnant

Female | 22
There are a lot of things that can cause this. Stress, weight changes, diet, and exercise all affect your cycle. Sometimes, hormonal imbalances can make your period come later than expected too. You should think about taking a home pregnancy test because you might be pregnant. If it doesn’t start within another week though, then see a gynecologist for help figuring out what’s going on.

Hi doctor jus a quick question I have birth in December and is currently breastfeeding is it safe to perm my hair and take metronidazole b500mg tablets
Female | 22
Its not recommended to undergo hair perming or coloring during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as the chemicals used in these treatments can be harmful to the baby. Moreover the safety of metronidazole while breastfeeding is not clear, as the medication can be excreted in breast milk and may cause side effects in the baby.

Female | 22
PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Mam adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, nabothian cyst hai aur five days se period late hai
Female | 31
Your period delay may stem from adenomyosis, uterine polyps, and nabothian cysts. Adenomyosis often brings heavier, painful periods. Polyps and nabothian cysts can disrupt normal bleeding patterns. Treatments might include medication for symptoms, or minor procedures to remove polyps/cysts. Consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance regarding your condition.

Sometimes women do have irregular periods because of stress, hormonal imbalances, changes in weight, thyroid disorders, etc. It's important to consult a gynecologist to identify the cause of your irregular bleeding.

Is this little piece that looks like triangle is normal hymen of a virgin girl ? O don't know how should it look like and i'm afraid that could be something dangerous. A routine ultrasound was performed on the pelvis and everything was normal and i forgot to tell the doctor about the hymen .i don't complain about anything
Female | 24
It's completely understandable to have concerns about the hymen, especially if you're not sure what to expect. The hymen can vary in shape and size among individuals, and a triangular appearance can be normal. Since your recent pelvic ultrasound showed no abnormalities and you have no symptoms like pain or unusual discharge, it is likely all is well. However, if your concern continues, don't hesitate to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

I took abortion pills on 8 November and my bleeding is continuing for 2 days and after it on 13 November i have again bleeding and today i have been blood clots in my bleeding. Is it normal or not?
Female | 24
It is a natural phenomenon for the body to produce blood and blood clots after using the tablets. No matter how many times the bleeding has stopped and restarted. The blood clots in your situation are just one of the usual symptoms. If you experience heavy bleeding (more than one pad per hour) or you get severe pain, you must visit a gynecologist for further treatment.

Female | 22
You are likely referring to some modifications in your vaginal area. The redness, swelling, and mucus could be an infection or irritant. Sometimes, changes in color and texture can also be due to the fluctuations of hormones. Even though you have no pain or burning, it is important to see a gynecologist to find the exact cause and get appropriate treatment.

I am 27 year old female with hypothyroid history but this time I have missed my periods and after after consulting a doctor I took regestrone and from past few weeks I am having hairfall... after taking medicine for three days two times daily I have noticed white or transparent varginal discharge yet no periods....
Female | 27
It's possible that the medication you took, Regestrone, could be causing the white or transparent vaginal discharge. Some side effects of Regestrone include changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, such as spotting or irregular bleeding. The medication can affect your hormone levels, which leads to hair loss.
