2kids mom is it safe to take EC pils to avoid pregnancy

Gynecologyy

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

Emergency birth control pills block pregnancy after unprotected sex. They delay ovulation, prevent fertilization, or stop a fertilized egg from implanting. Frequent effects are feeling sick, puking, tiredness, and off menstrual cycles. EC pills aren't meant for regular use, only occasional protection emergencies. Don't depend on them for constant birth control; that's risky. Consult a gynecologist if you're unsure about using them safely.

I have very panic itching inside and outside of vagina and also having redness, inflammation, swelling and burning sensation. Also having bad smell from vagina

Female | 28

There's a chance you have a yeast infection. Itching, redness, swelling, and a burning sensation are some of the symptoms. It smells bad because of this reason. So yeast infections are a result of a build-up of yeast in the vagina. The usage of antifungal creams that can be bought at the drugstore would also be beneficial to solve it.

I am a 40 year old woman who has strange smelling urine and is worried she may be pregnant, have an STD, UTI or other.

Female | 40

Strange-smelling urine can be caused by dehydration, consuming certain foods or drinks, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). If you are sexually active, it is also recommended to get regular screenings for STIs to prevent and detect infections early.

Can lidocaine be used to numb burning in bacterial vaginosis

Female | 26

Bacterial vaginosis occurs when vaginal bacteria is imbalanced. Lidocaine numbing provides temporary relief, but isn't treatment. Proper diagnosis and medication from a doctor prevents complications. See a gynecologist for bacterial vaginosis - simple numbing won't cure the infection.

I have recently had unprotected sex thrice. I also consumed ipill all those times the next morning itself. The last time I had unprotected sex was on 15th May and ipill on 16th may morning. Past 2-3 days I have been getting very bad cramps in my lower abdomen and I'm bleeding (spotting) blood clots. I have PCOD and I do not get my periods. I get it very rarely, twice or thrice in a year. I don't remember my last period date. Are these the side effects of the ipill or are there any chances of pregnancy/miscarriage?

Female | 23

The cramps and bleeding with blood clots might be caused by the ipill. It can change menstrual bleeding at times. However, because your periods are irregular and you have polycystic ovarian syndrome, other possible reasons should not be left out. These signs could also result from hormonal variations or maybe pregnancy is on the way. See a gynecologist who will help find out what these mean.

A single line means negative pregnancy test. An over-faded line means a positive result. It's best to confirm with the doctor.

So I have had my period for about two weeks what is wrong or what can I do to end my period

Female | 13

A period of two weeks is not what usually happens. There could be a few easy reasons: stress, body weight changes, or a health problem like polycystic ovary syndrome. During this time, drink lots of water, eat healthy foods, and get good rest. If the long period keeps happening, see a gynecologist.

Female | 16

It's understandable to feel anxious about your menstrual cycle, especially when you're experiencing stress and uncertainty. From what you've described, it sounds like you had a period, but slightly late. Periods can vary in color and consistency, and dark brown or black blood is normal at the beginning or end of your cycle. Taking a pregnancy test two weeks after your period is generally considered accurate. Clear blue tests are reliable when used correctly, so if they show negative results, it's likely right. However, if you're still feeling anxious, you can always take another test for peace of mind. Stressing yourself isn't beneficial for your overall well-being. It's essential to find ways to manage stress and focus on self-care. Remember, irregularities in your menstrual cycle can happen for various reasons, including stress. If you're still concerned or experiencing persistent symptoms, consider reaching out to a gynecologist for further guidance and support.

You may see some spotting after you take misoprostol. This is common and normal. The drug can cause light bleeding. Do not worry if you do not see more bleeding after the spotting. The medicine may have already done its job. If you are not sure, it is best to speak with a gynecologist.

I dont remember my last period so i went for an ultrasound on 23 july 2024 and it said 13 weeks 4days even a gestation age. So i want to know how many weeks am i now and when is my due date

Female | 27

Your pregnancy seems to be at around 16 weeks now. Your ultrasound date suggests that you are due around January 15, 2025. The memory lapses can be caused by many reasons, but remember that hormones during pregnancy can manipulate memory. To remember things more effectively, you can note down or schedule reminders on your phone. Constantly seek help from your gynecologist.

The cause of bleeding can be confirmed only for one day as to whether it is menstruation. To diagnose pregnancy as confirmed, home tests or laboratory tests are performed. If there are doubts or questions regards your menstrual cycle or pregnancy risk, the gynecologist or the obstetrician will bring them to light.

I have a miscarriage and have been passing out the blood what can I take

Female | 33

It’s scary to pass out so much blood, but it’s normal after a miscarriage. This happens when the body gets rid of everything from the womb. If you feel dizzy or weak, lie down and lift your legs. Drink plenty of fluids and have a lot of sleep. In case you lose too much blood or start feeling very sick, consult a gynecologist right away.

Female | 17

The first thing you should do is to take a test. Should your test result as positive, arrange for an appointment with an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) promptly. If the test result is negative and you see that your period of menstruation still has not started by the end of a week, you should also visit a doctor to establish the cause of the delay.

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.
