My marriage is on 24 dec but i didn't recieve my periods last 3 months. Is any problem to getting married
Female | 22
Women can miss their menstrual periods due to different factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle changes. It's common for women to steer off to unsettled paths at a young age or before big events. Even though you may feel scared, don't skip your health as it is the most important thing you have. Your overall health mustn't be neglected. I suggest talking to a gynecologist to understand if there is a hidden issue to the problem and get guidance that is specific to you.

As per the symptoms listed, an individual is likely to be having irregular periods. This can be attributed to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even weight changes. It is important to consult a gynecologist to establish the cause and then get the right treatment.

Sir meri wife n abortion pill liya phir uske baad bledding hui clots bhi aaye phir sab normal ho gya 7 Din m jis Din se bleeding bnd hui us Din white brown discharge ho rha normal koi drd nhi h koi bhi bhi smell nhi aa rha
Female | 22
If you have opted for a blood clot and brown or white discharge after taking an abortion pill then the symptoms you bothered seem of a natural recovery process and are seen more if there are no pain and odd smells. While you heal, such complaints may appear, but their early monitoring is the key point. In the case of obvious and constant discharge, significant deviations, fear, or suspicions come to mind, you might want to talk to your gynecologist for proper advice.

I am 23 years old women I have a white mark on side of tha vaginal opening skin there is no itching no pain in it
Female | 23
This might be a common condition known as Fordyce spots. These are small, completely harmless spots that can come up in genital areas. They are typically painless and not itchy. Fordyce spots are just oil glands and are not a cause for concern. If you're worried, it's always a good idea to chat with a gynecologist. Just keep it under observation and if anything changes or you have any new symptoms, get it checked out.

Mera period time pe aya but bleeding bikul nhi hua ,iska kya karan hai ,isse darne bale bat nhi na hai
Female | 21
It’s not uncommon for your period to show up on schedule but be light. It might be because of stress, a hormone imbalance, extreme weight loss, or a change in your routine. These things can all impact your menstrual cycle. Take care of yourself by relaxing, eating well, and getting enough sleep. If this keeps happening then speaking with a gynecologist would be wise to check if everything is alright.

I had my last period on 29 January (lasts for 5ths and I am on a 30days cycle) had sex on 6&19 February, outside my fertility window, could I be pregnant?
Female | 21
Your fertile window is typically between days 11 and 21 of your menstrual cycle. Based on the dates given, February 6 and 19 were likely outside this period, so pregnancy is unlikely from those encounters. However, stay alert for signs like a late period or unusual tiredness.

I am 42 years. Don't have period from last 2 month. Just had sex 3 days before . And took unwanted 72. Just worried about pregnancy...
Female | 42
A skipped cycle can be caused by stress, hormonal changes, or recent birth control. The administration of the Unwanted 72 pill, which is an e-pill, could also be responsible for it. If your period does not come back in time or if you experience strange symptoms of some kind, you may want to verify your pregnancy as a way to put peace of mind at rest. Recognize that medical advice is the best practice for proper diagnosis and treatment, so seek out a personalized consultation with a gynecologist.

my vagina currently itching abt aweek now can i ask why?
Female | 24
Several factors, such as infections, irritants, or allergies, can be the causes of vaginal itching. The most common triggers could be yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or being sensitive to soaps or laundry detergents. To alleviate the discomfort, maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the area, avoid the use of harsh products, and prefer breathable clothes over other kinds. As well, non-prescription antifungal or soothing creams may give relief, too. However, you must visit a gynecologist for a precise diagnosis and individual treatment, particularly if the symptoms continue or become more severe.

Last month i got my normal period as always And then a day before my ovulation i started bleeding for three-four days without any pain After this next month again i got my period Can your period come after implantation bleeding
Female | 17
Implantation bleeding tends to happen around 6-12 days after conceiving and is typically presented by light spotting which lasts for a short time. If there is a doubt regarding irregular menstrual cycle or unusual bleeding, consult your gynecologist.

"Hello, I'm 24 years old. I had unprotected sex on October 16, four days before my period, which started on October 20. My menstrual cycle typically lasts 27 days. Now, 12 days before my next period, I'm experiencing: - Fatigue - chills - sweating - Tender breasts - Increased vaginal discharge - Nighttime nausea - Increased appetite Could I be pregnant considering I had sex four days before my period?
Female | 24
The chances of achieving pregnancy four days before your period are low. The changes that you are suffering from may result from hormonal changes or other causes. Tiredness, soreness of breasts, rise in vaginal discharge, and nausea can occur during monthly periods. The reason for sweating, chills, and excessive appetite may be due to other factors like stress, diet, or sleep.

i am a 20 year old female and i took a contraceptive pill two weeks ago and i have been bleeding after a week of taking the pill,and it hasn’t stopped
Female | 20
It seems that the birth control pill (or POP) could be the reason your bleeding has lasted longer than usual. When you first start taking the pill, your body may need some time to adjust, which can cause irregular bleeding. This can also be triggered by hormonal changes. The best approach is to consult with a gynecologist and discuss other birth control options that might suit you better.

I'm sher from Pakistan. We have been 4 years being married but my wife couldn't conceive, according to doctors, the eggs problem.. !
Female | 28
I recommend you to see a gynecologist or a reproductive endocrinologist for consultation. They will be able to find out the reason for your wife being infertile and will offer different possible solutions. If it comes to egg concerns, then the fertility doctor can recommend some assisted reproductive techniques such as egg donation or IVF.

I was wondering what a septated adnexal cyst is and what kind of symptoms you can get from it. I had a partial hysterectomy about 14 years ago. I have been having stomach issues so my Doctor ordered a CT scan and it showed up on the scan.
Female | 45
A septated adnexal cyst is a fluid-filled sac with walls inside it. A hysterectomy can cause this to happen near the ovaries. You might not feel anything or could have a belly ache, bloating, or discomfort. Sometimes they can go away, but other times a gynecologist might suggest more tests or surgery.

I am 17 years old and I recently learned about sex education I was so excited to feel how does sex feels . So I inserted a bathroom whiper in my vagina and I came to know that because of this my hymen broken as I could see some blood on the whiper . I am so stressed that what will I tell to my future husband about how my hymen broke . So is there any way if I can grow my hymen back . I just a really small stain of blood so is there any chance that my hymen is not fully broken and it can regrow on its own ?
Female | 17
Sometimes the cause of the hymen breaking can be due to different factors such as exercise, tampon use, or simply natural growth. Once shattered, a hymen can never grow back.

I am 22 old female, I had unprotected sex on the 29th and 30th of November and my periods were supposed to be on the 14th of December but when my periods got late I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. So I guess I was 5 weeks pregnant. And yesterday on 20th December I put 4 Misoprostol under my tongue and after 4 hours I put another 4 tablets under my tongue. And I started bleeding. Many clots were removed through my vagina. And it's been 24 hours after taking the misoprostol the clots are still coming from my vagina. Is there any need to take another 4 pills of misoprostol?
Female | 22
It appears that you have already begun the process of ending a pregnancy with misoprostol, which is actually the primary reason for bleeding and clotting in the procedure. It is a normal time for bleeding and clots to come out and last for a few days. Continue, consult a gynecologist if the blood becomes extremely heavy and clots pass by in an hour, or you experience unbearable pain. Are you typically in need of any other medications? As a general rule, it is good to consult your doctor before you take extra medicaments.

I am having menstrual Bleeding after 7 days also is it normal?
Female | 17
For many people, menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than seven days can be normal. In some cases, it is due to hormonal changes or some medical problems. If you are experiencing extreme tiredness, weakness, or pain, you are advised to see a gynecologist. They can help you know what is wrong and advise you on what to do to cope with the situation.

Female | 22
BLEEDING after taking an ABORTION pill is normal.... Passing clots is also common.... BLEEDING and CRAMPING may last up to two weeks.... If BLEEDING is very heavy, or if you have severe PAIN or fever... seek medical attention.... Always follow up with your healthcare provider...

I have yellow excessive watery discharge with a sour odor no itching or pain I noticed 2 months ago after I fogot to remove my tampon and stopped my menstrual period using control pill and I recently changed my arm medication
Female | 32
You may have a bacterial infection called bacterial vaginosis. This can occur for instance when a tampon is left in too long or if certain medications are used. Yellow watery discharge with a sour odor is a common symptom. The good thing is that there is no itch or pain. For this, you might have to use antibiotics that a gynecologist can give you.

Hello, I'm on the 28 day contraceptive pills. I have been taking my pills everyday on time, however yesterday was my 16th day but I took the 21st day pill instead. I am just now realizing so I took the 16th pill that was meant for yesterday along with my 17th day pill for today. I had sexual intercourse yesterday so will the pills still protect me from getting pregnant?
Female | 23
Since an incorrect pill was consumed, the possibility of pregnancy has slightly increased. It's crucial to utilize additional protection for the next seven days, such as condoms. Continue taking your regular pills, but exercise heightened caution. If any unusual symptoms like nausea or irregular bleeding occur, please consult a gynecologist.

I am 17 year old female I was masturbating when I had a little bleeding No pain But it scared me I rarely masturbate so I don't know what to think of this
Female | 17
If you happen to see some blood during masturbation and it does not feel painful, you may have nothing wrong. Once in a while the delicate tissues there get a little irritated and begin to bleed a bit. Go through a restful period and if it recurs or if you have any other issues, report to a gynecologist.
