Will not getting pregnant increase cancer risk later in life?
Will I get cancer later in life if I will never get pregnant and breastfeed?
Oncologist
Answered on 20th Sept '24
Breastfeeding itself does not directly cause cancer. It has a protective effect against breast cancer. Cancer can develop in both people with and without children. It is of utmost importance to have regular check-ups and to practice good nutrition, exercise, and avoid smoking as preventive measures to lower the risk of getting sick. If you have any peculiar and unusual changes in your body like lumps or changes in moles, you should go to an oncologist.

Rt ovary shows anechoic shadow with cyst. - It measures: 35.0 mm x 22.7 mm x 31.9 mm Vol-13.3 ml. RIGHT OVARY ADNEXA= Rt ovary shows anechoic shadow with cyst.
Female | 17
There is a small sack filled with fluid on the right ovary according to the report. This could be because of hormone changes among other reasons. The sac might not show any symptoms although sometimes it results in pain or irregular periods. Most of these cysts will disappear by themselves but if they do not; one may need treatment from a gynecologist.

Hi doctor , How are you Myself Palak Shah 24 years old girl having continuous bleeding and from past 3 dats it's heavy bleeding . I haven't taken any medicines. Please tell what should I do now?
Female | 24
The reasons for this could be hormones that are out of balance, uterine fibroids, or also infections. Resting and keeping yourself hydrated is a big priority right now. A warm breast compress to the lower abdomen can be a good strategy to ease the pain. Be sure to track your bleeding flow, and if it's a lot, go to a gynecologist.

Infections in vagina and irritation
Female | 24
It might be a vaginal infection which leads to irritation that you are probably going through. The signs may be red itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort. The infection can be caused by bacteria, yeast, and other reasons. To alleviate the irritation, try wearing cotton underwear, avoiding scented products, and keeping the area clean. If the symptoms do not go away, it is crucial to get medical advice from a gynecologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

I want to reach out to gynaecologist , i have a female friend , she didnt had periods for 3 months and after that yesterday and today she got lump or clot like something in her periods , she got it once tomorrow and today morning can you refer to image what is that and what we need to do ,
Female | 23
It is vital that your friend see a gynaecologist immediately. A knot or clot could be a symptom of a major problem like uterine fibroids or endometriosis. Gynaecologists can do proper diagnosis and treatment of such conditions. I would suggest seeing a gynaecologist who has a specialty in reproductive health and fertility.

I had protected sex on 29 jan but also took I pill on the same day. After 7 days got bleeding. After that I didn’t have intercourse but had other activities which might include exchange of fluids..(dry humping etc) not sure about that. My period date was supposed to be on 20 feb but missed it so took Mephrate from 23-28 feb today is 8 march still no periods. Am I pregnant?
Female | 20
It is also possible you maybe pregnant, though the fact cannot be ascertained unless there is thorough medical examination. I advise you to see a gynecologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis. The gynecologist will definitely help you in deciding the best for you which you may need to do a pregnancy test or maybe more examinations.

I have done unprotected sex on 20th March but the date of my period is 24 th march but today is 30th march and still the period has not come yet and i also have the period irregularity
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.

Today I took a pregnancy test and I got very very faint line .. does it mean pregnancy.. plus I am having cramps since morning.. and also feeling dizzy from 4 days
Female | 27
A very faint line on a pregnancy test could indicate a positive result, as even a faint line can suggest the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG. Cramps and dizziness can be associated with early pregnancy, but they can also have other causes. To get a clearer understanding, consider retesting in a few days

I was a virgin until May 5, 2024. My partner and i tried to have sex, but in his words, he never came at the same time he did not have precum. He also said that he did not put it in all the way. (Before i continue, a little back story, i have this 21 hormonal pill pack. I know we have the 21 and the 28 pack. I have the 21. I use this pack to regulate my period since i have PCOS also prescribed by my doctor. Though for the past few months feb-may i should be off my pills to see if my period regulated again ordered by my doctor. I had no period on feb and march but did on april.) After 2 hrs of unprotected sex, i took 1 pill from the 21 pill pack that i have. Then 4 days later i took 5 pills for 5 consecutive days. Then stopped after the 5 days. (Back story: in the 21 pill pack, you have a 7 day break to wait to get your period. Sometimes it comes within the 7 days. Sometimes it comes after the 7 days. After the 7 day break you have to restart and take a pill and continue for 20 more days as said in the instructions. With period or not). So the 5 days were May 10,11,12,13,14. On May 22 i got my period. When i checked the calendar i realized there was a 7 day break in between before i got my period. My period started on May 22 and ended on May 26. And i know it was my period because, it looked like my period everytime i get it. Dark red blood, blood clots, lasted 3-5 days, abdominal cramps with matching lower back pain, bleeding through my pad. Smelled like my period everytime i get it. Questions: 1. Is there a possibility for pregnancy? 2. Did i mess up my hormones? 3. Did i mess up my PCOS? 4. How is it possible that i took 5 pills from a 21 pill pack had the 7 day break and had my period?
Female | 24
There isn’t much of a chance that you’re pregnant. Your partner didn’t ejaculate, and there wasn’t any pre-cum. Also, your period came on time. If you take extra pills or have breaks in your pack, it can sometimes affect your hormones. However, only making this kind of short-term change may not result in long-term problems. Getting your period after taking 5 pills and then going off them could have caused some hormonal changes but if eventually things evened out when it came back.

I am a 22 year old female that’s have vaginal bleeding and cramps after period two weeks ago. What is the reason behind that?
Female | 22
You might be having some vaginal bleeding and cramping after your period. There are several possible reasons for this. One common cause is changes in hormone levels. Another possibility is an irregularity in the lining of your uterus. If you don’t feel better soon or if things get worse it would not hurt to see a gynecologist.

My period is late for about 4 days... I use pregnancy kit ,but it showd negative...wen should I take HCG BLOOD TEST...HOW MANY DAYS AFTER I SHOULD TAKE IT
Female | 31
You can wait a few more days before considering a blood test for pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests detect pregnancy hormones (hCG) in your urine, but the levels might not be high enough to register immediately after a missed period.

You’re experiencing pain in your abdomen, urinary tract, and lower back. Your right ovary feels swollen. These symptoms can have many causes, like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or ovarian cysts. See a gynecologist immediately.

I missed my period this month after had sex last month
Female | 21
You may have missed your period because of pregnancy if you had sex last month. Besides a missed period, other signs are nausea and tender breasts. But stress or hormone changes can make periods late too. To know for certain, take a pregnancy test at home. It's wise to talk to a gynecologist for advice and support about this matter.

Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?
Female | 29
It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.

Female | 17
During the teenage years, it is normal for periods to be irregular. Stress, diet and changes in routine can affect the timing. If you have had protected intimacy or other symptoms like acne, weight changes or excessive hair growth, it might be good to consider talking to a gynecologist.

I am 17 years old female and I found blood during masturbation 2-3 times
Female | 17
It’s frightening to see blood during masturbation, unfortunately, it’s not an uncommon situation. The possible causes may be a tiny tear to the vagina or the hymen (a thin tissue in the vagina), hormonal variations are other causes. Furthermore, the infection might also lead to this state. Try to keep your composure and do not perform any harsh movements. Moreover, if it keeps going or you are not relaxed, it will always be a good choice to get a second opinion from a gynecologist.

I'm a 62 year old woman who is suffering menopausal symptoms and I'm looking for some advice on relieiving them
Female | 62
Menopause is a normal stage in a woman's life, usually around the age of 50 or 60. Symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and trouble sleeping can be bothersome. These symptoms happen due to hormonal changes in the body. You can try lifestyle changes like regular exercise, a healthy diet, and managing stress to help relieve these symptoms. It's also helpful to wear loose clothing and use fans to stay cool. If these tips don’t help, you can talk to a gynecologist about other treatment options.

I had unprotected sex 9 days before my periods.. Is there any chance I can get pregnant
Female | 25
Yes there is chances of getting pregnant. Sperm are able to stay alive in the female body for up to five days, and if you ovulate before this period, this can greatly increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant. If you have any concern talk to a gynecologist to take the test and get more detailed advice.
