its been 6 days after unprotected sex and my breast have white discharge Is that a sign of pregnancy

Female | 18

This is not a usual symptom of pregnancy. Quite often, this is due to a medical condition called galactorrhea that is more common in pregnancy periods. Hormone imbalances from some prescription medicines, including stress are believed to be the main causes. You need to go for check-up and get proper guidance on this issue from a gynecologist.

I am a 25 year old female who is currently 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 blighted ovums in 3 years apart. The scan has shown even this pregnancy is a blighted ovum. Is there a possibility of me having a normal pregnancy as I have had 2 blighted ovums already with 2 different partners. Please assist.

Female | 24

Blighted ovum, which is also called the synonym "anembryonic pregnancy," is a situation where a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, but the embryo does not develop. I understand your worries about having two blighted ovums one after the other were scary. The most important thing is to consult your doctor, who knows the potential causes and comes up with the possible solutions that allow you to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. You could have further examinations which are done to help decide if there is an underlying factor that is causing this to happen multiple times.

Can I be pregnant of hcg levels of 3.5

HCG levels of 3.5 means you are not pregnant. The normal range for HCG for non-pregnant ladies is usually less than 5 mlU/ml. If you have seen some unusual symptoms, you should see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and consultation.

Female | 38

There may be times when your period is late. This could be due to stress, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations. If your period is 8 days late and pregnancy tests are negative, it may be advisable to wait a little longer before taking further action. If the period still doesn't come, consider talking to a gynecologist.

I am a 36 year old female. I sometimes see blood while peeing, what could the cause and the remedy doctor?

Female | 36

Having blood in your urine can be frightening, however, don’t panic. The most likely reason is a urinary tract infection (UTI). Symptoms might include pain with urination, having a frequent urge to urinate, and urine that is cloudy or smelly. Drink plenty of water to flush out the infection. Nevertheless, it is important to see a urologist so they can offer proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have been taking contraceptives for some time now and my last time of taking was December 15 I haven't had sex till now my menses came December n last month but was supposed to come last week but it didn't come. I checked for pregnancy n it was negative

Female | 27

Hormonal contraceptives do affect your menstrual cycle. Also if your pregnancy test is negative then the period delay can be due to stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.

Hi iam 8 months pregnant, i have taken wrongly normet syrup of my duaghter around 5ml, once i took in my mouth only i realized it, then i spitted out, after that vomitted myself. it will afffect my unborn baby??? Please advice

Female | 32

It can be worrying when taking a drug not intended for you, even more so in case of pregnancy. In your situation, since you only took a small quantity and threw up afterward, a tiny dose of the medicine probably got into your bloodstream. Be careful not to ignore any unusual side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. If you notice anything unusual, get in touch with your gynecologist immediately to get more treatment.

Mere period date abhi miss nhi hua hai pr pregnancy test positive aaya hai or mujhe irregular periods ki bhi problem hai to kya mai pregnant ho skti hu?

Female | 23

If your test for pregnancy turns out to be positive, it implies that you are already pregnant irrespective of whether your period has been late or not. An abnormal period may indicate any health problem that can affect your pregnancy. A visit to the doctor who is a specialist in high-risk pregnancies is a must for you as soon as possible.

After taking mtp kit of abortion,this is my 15th day and still spotting is continued.ultrasound has given an ok report but why still it's spotting

Female | Shivali

Spotting following an abortion medication is okay. Your body adjusts gradually. Spotting may continue briefly. Relax, drink lots of fluids, and avoid strenuous activity. If spotting persists beyond a couple week though, it's wise to consult your gynecologist again.

Hi Doctor , I'm a mother of 2 kids and recently had a miscarriage, now me & my husband want to go for tubal ligation surgery as it says it's not 100% although it's a permanent birth control method of over 99% effective , is it okay after the surgery to start taking Ovral L pill ?

Female | 39

Permanent birth control can be achieved through tubal ligation surgery. The chances of pregnancy are greatly reduced with this method, but it is not 100% guaranteed. You may begin taking Ovral L after undergoing the operation. It is vital that you have an open discussion with your doctor in order to consider all available alternatives and make the most appropriate decision for yourself. Always feel free to share any worries you may have with your physician. I wish you all the best!

Female | 23

After unprotected sex, there's a risk of getting pregnant, especially with the pull-out method. The presence of symptoms like missed periods is an obvious sign of conception. To avoid pregnancy, you can rely on some effective birth control methods such as pills and condoms. If you are worried, you should see a gynecologist for a detailed discussion of your options.

Among the most frequent symptoms are irregular bleeding, heavy flow, or even missing the period at all. This can be stress, lack of balance in hormone levels, or a change in your diet. To enhance the health of your periods, consider undertaking stress-relieving activities such as yoga and meditation, having a balanced diet, and doing regular exercises. If this persists, then see a gynecologist.

I had sex on April 5th which was on my 9th day of periods and I got periods regular on 25th April .but now my periods was delay , my due date was 23th may and it showing some symptoms like mood swings, frequent urination. Am I pregnant?

Female | 19

You might be pregnant based on what you’ve said. Mood swings and having to pee all the time are both symptoms of pregnancy that can occur very early on. This is because of the hormones in your body changing. The only way to know for sure if you’re pregnant or not is by taking a home pregnancy test. If it comes out positive then you need to see a gynecologist so they can help take care of things properly.

hello, i think there's a cyst on my private area. i just noticed it earlier cause i checked it, it's itchy. it started to itch the day that my period started, last week. there's also something that's bothering me, there's like something blocking my private area, idk how to explain it but they do have like a white thingy that looks like a discharge, but it won't come off like a discharge would. idk if that's normal. please help me.

Female | 16

Skin cysts are common and can be quite itchy. Sometimes they can get irritated during your period. The white thing you mentioned could be a buildup of dead skin cells or sebum. To relieve the itching, you could try using warm compresses. Do not squeeze or pick at it. If it does not get better, it is best to have it looked at by a dermatologist.
