Answered on 21st Jan '25

It's understandable to feel concerned about changes in your cycle, especially if this is new for you. Various factors can cause alterations, such as stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, or changes in routine. Common symptoms accompanying this may include mood swings or physical discomfort. Allowing some time can help, as cycles often regulate themselves. However, if you notice significant changes, or if this persists, it's wise to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice. They can offer guidance tailored to your situation, ensuring your health remains a top priority.

Hi there My name is Afiyat Nuha and I am 18 years old, recently I have missed my period bt I can't find a reason for that to happen.What should I do?

Female | 18

Not getting a period is something that can happen for a lot of different reasons and it’s okay if this has happened to you once or twice before. If you are worried about not having a period, some things to think about would be stress levels, weight changes (up or down), diet changes, how much you’ve been exercising lately, and even hormone levels.

During the teenage years it’s common for girls to have irregular periods so don’t worry too much if this is the only time it’s ever happened to you. However, if your periods have always been like clockwork and you happen to be sexually active, then yes—there’s always a chance that you could be pregnant.

Hello doctor mera blood group O rh negative hai aur husband ka positive meri pregnancy ka 37 week chal raha hai maine ICT test karaya tha Kya aap mujhe report dekh kar kuchh bata sakte hai

Female | 26

The presence of O-negative blood in your partner who is positive may result in the necessity of an antibody check. Positive ICT test results indicate a possible reaction of your blood to the baby's blood which can lead to complications. Symptoms may include jaundice in the baby. Treatment can include monitoring the baby carefully and giving appropriate care after birth.

Gaining weight during periods

Female | 20

Your period brings a bit of we­ight gain. That's normal. You retain extra water. You fe­el bloated and heavie­r. Drink lots of water. Avoid salty foods. That helps reduce­ water retention. Do light e­xercises. Eat a balanced die­t. These steps can manage­ the temporary weight gain.

Iam 21 years old me and my boyfriend have sex on jan 16 with condom it's already 9 month's and my periods are coming Monthly Monthly in this 9 months still I can get pregnant

Female | 21

The combination of having sex while using a condom on Jan 16 and then having periods regularly after that indicates that you are not pregnant. Early pregnancy signs can be a missed period, nausea, and breast tenderness. You can also take a pregnancy test yourself for more confidence.

Me and my wife had sex on 10th day after her periods started we used condom and now she have bleeding for past 2 days is there anything to worry?

Female | 24

If the intercourse was rough, it could just be irritation making itself known, or possibly even a small tear in your partner’s vaginal wall. Look out for any sign that it might have been more than that, like if there’s pain at all beyond normal discomfort during sex, or weird discharge afterward.

I have a question I took a 3 emergency contraceptive pills last month and now am late on my period. And I took 3 pregnancy Hcg urine test 3 weeks and 4 days and I have a negative results

Female | 19

Possible side effects of the morning-after pill include changes to your menstrual cycle, however, do not expect these to be the case with the pill. So it's okay if you're late. Pressure or other causes may be considered by the mind as well. Your negative pregnancy tests suggest that you are probably not pregnant.

Hi I'm 19 years old . Last year in Dec my dermatologist prescribed me a medicine for acne treatment at that time my periods were regular but after taking medicine my periods started delay by 2_3 months then again it come to normal cycle for 2 months but now from past 3 month I didn't get my periods. And my stomach pain everyday on right side (near kidney) I'm afraid of going to doctor. I think this can be kidney stone or appendicitis

Female | 19

Missed periods and pain on the right side of your stomach can have various causes. While kidney stones and appendicitis are possibilities, conditions like hormonal imbalances and ovarian cysts can also cause similar symptoms. Seeking timely medical care is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications.
