Answered on 23rd May '24
If you get menstruation for more than 8 days quite frequently, you've better consult a gynaecologist. Prolonged menstruation lasting for a couple of days may be a sign of some serious underlying disease just like uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

Female | 22
Yes it is possible to become pregnant before your first post-procedure menstrual period, but you need to consult a gynecologist for guidance and consider taking a pregnancy test if you have concerns.

Female | 25
It's good that you are taking steps to recognize things early. Dexamethasone is used to help a baby's lungs develop in case they are born prematurely. Premature means the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. You don't need to worry about the baby having problems with this medicine if they are not born until after 37 weeks.

Hello, I'm 20, female, I had protected sex on April 13 and 14, my period is 16 days late now, pregnancy tests came out negative, should I be worried?
Female | 20
Feeling concerned is completely normal at a time like this. A late period can occur for many reasons even if protected sex was had and pregnancy tests are giving negative results. Stress, weight changes, hormone imbalances, or certain drugs could all affect your menstrual cycle. It might help to keep track of any other symptoms alongside checking in with a gynecologist if it continues being late.

I had what can be classified as unprotected sex on 27th August (this is because I was experiencing diarrhea which reduced my regular combined pill efficiency and protection). Partner pulled out twice, we shower in between and clean. I took emergency contraception within 24 hours (brand: andalan postpil) and had one last diarrhea nearly 3 hours later (a bit less I think) after taking the pill. Would the emergency contraception be effective (I also have BMI of 30.5) or do I need to take another emergency pill?
Female | 22
Taking the emergency contraception pill is a very effective way of preventing pregnancy. Apart from that, you took the emergency pill which was the right move, and you experienced diarrhea, which can lower the effectiveness of the pill. Pay attention to any unusual symptoms and if you are worried, it is always better to consult a gynecologist.

i am 20 years old and i feel nuesea and i feel hungry but has no appetite the whole day and i have cramps in my lower belly sometimes also my period is delayed
Female | 20
Retching, being not hungry, having spasms in the lower abdomen, and a postponed period could be indicative of either stress or hormonal fluctuation. Attempt to breathe softly, eat a little, drink water, and sleep a little. If symptoms persist, consider contacting a gynecologist for more advice.

Why did affect bilateral polycystic ovaries in body
Female | 27
Bilateral polycystic ovaries mean that your ovaries contain many small fluid-filled sacs. This condition can lead to irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, excess hair growth, and acne. It happens when your hormones aren't functioning properly. Eating a balanced diet, staying active, and, in some cases, taking medication can help manage it. It's essential to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment.

i am 26 years old female. Ultrasound showing bilateral ovaries are normal in size with right ovary measuring 37.7x27.5x21.9mm (11.89cc) and left ovary measuring 37.1x20.1x32.5mm (12.67cc) and show multiple small sized peripherally arranged follicles with echogenic central stroma. But blood reports showing high insulin level i.e, 48 and low estradiol i.e, 9 rest of the hormones are normal also sugar is low. Do i have pcos?
Female | 26
PCOS can cause irregular periods, acne, hair growth, and difficulty getting pregnant. High insulin and low estradiol levels are among the possible PCOS factors. Eating healthy foods, exercising, and sometimes medication can help PCOS. It's important to meet with a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Female | 26
Late periods happen, even while on the pill. Maybe you're stressed. Or gained weight, changed hormones. Relax – irregular cycles are normal. But if there's unusual bleeding or severe pain, check a pregnancy test, or visit a gynecologist. Otherwise, no worries. Your body will realign in time.

Hello, my wife's gyno has suggested stretching her vagina in prep for labour and will over see it by appointments every 2 weeks. Is this normal?
Female | 34
It is normal for some women who are about to give birth and need vaginal stretching first. This is what is known as a perineal massage. It has the advantages of preventing tears during delivery and increasing elasticity. Symptoms like tightness can make labor harder. The stretching is the work of a gynecologist who ensures it is done safely. A technique like this can lead to a more seamless experience of childbirth; thus, it is a common practice.

I’m 18 female. I just moved into a dorm. I noticed my breast by the nipple was tender and red all around it with a lump under the nipple. The lump is still there but the redness and most pain went away. This Is now happening to the other. Why? And will it gob away on its own most likely?
Female | 18
You may be facing a common problem called breast bud development. This is when the breast tissue is growing and changing, which can lead to tenderness, redness, and lumps under the nipple. It's a normal thing that mostly happens during puberty and passes on its own as your body gets used to it. You should keep the area clean and wear comfortable clothing to ease any discomfort.

I’m pregnant and I took a supplement that has horny goat weed in it, around 100mg. What should I do? It has other ingredients like Muira Puama, Ginkgo Biloba and Maca Root. All these together with Horny Goat Weed make 900mg in one cube. I wanted to ask how this affects me?
Female | 28
Horny Goat Weed is a plant some folks use as a natural aid, but doctors advise not taking it while pregnant. It can maybe cause fast heart rate, dizziness, or even affect how your baby grows. If you used it, no need to panic, but tell your gynecologist right away so they can keep an eye on things and guide you.

I advise you to visit a gynecologist for a diagnosis of your current health status. It is frequently due to a number of reasons, for instance hormonal imbalance, stress, or hidden medical problems. A gynecologist can do the thorough examination and give all the needed guidance

Why is my urine Lh elevated during menstration. I just stopped bleeding and my cm was lotionany now sticky so something is not matching up I'm on cycle day 6
Female | 30
In women, increased LH in urine is expected during the menstruation period. LH is a hormone that assists in the release of eggs from the ovaries. Following the end of your monthly period, the LH levels might increase as a way of preparing for ovulation. There can be changes in the cervical mucus throughout the cycle. Having lotion-like discharge before getting the sticky one is typical.

Why I m getting uti after every periods. I have completed antibiotic coarse 3 times . But again it comes back. I got 3 times uti within 4 months
Female | 34
You're dealing with frequent UTIs after your period. Bacteria cause UTIs by entering your bladder. You might feel pain or burning when urinating. You may need to pee often and urine may look cloudy. After menstrual flow, bacteria can enter the bladder more easily. Drink plenty of water. Pee after sexual activity. Wear cotton underpants. These steps can help prevent UTIs.

Female | 19
It's possible that your period delay could be due to stress or hormonal imbalance, but since you had unprotected sex, it would be wise to take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. For your period irregularity, please consult a gynecologist who can provide proper guidance and treatment.

Albendazole is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to potential risks to the developing baby. It is important to consult with a gynecologist to discuss any possible effects and necessary precautions.

Why?
Female | 23
A negative test doesn't mean there's trouble; it might indicate testing too soon before hormones rise detectably. Patience and perseverance are advised. Maintain an optimistic outlook, follow healthy habits, and persist in trying. If concerns persist after several months, consulting your gynecologist can provide reassurance or identify any issues needing attention.
