Why am I experiencing prolonged bleeding on birth control?

Patient's Query

I am a 22 year old female, I started taking my birth control again and have been for a week now. I started my period after starting my birth control again. However, my period or whatever is happening has been occuring for almost 10 days now. The bleeding is very light with just two days of it being a medium flow. My breasts aren't tender, my acne is bad, my hair is a bit oily, I do feel gassy, my back hurts a bit and I feel mildly nauseous here and there.

It sounds more like your body is only getting used to birth control. It is quite common to have irregular bleeding when you start using birth control. Light bleeding, acne, oily hair, gas, back pain, and nausea are also possible side effects of the hormones in birth control. Allow some time to ensure the body gets used to the medicine. And if these symptoms persist or become stronger, please get in touch with your gynecologist for advice.

I m unmarried but in my reports I have pid problem how it is possible

Female | 22

PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

My last period.was on 17.September I had a positive pregnancy test but my ultrasound shows.the.fetus.is.4.weeks.old,it should've.been 7.weeks.by now, Why is.the.baby not growing properly

Female | 24

I would recommend that you see an obstetrician right away. Slow fetal growth may signal a potential miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Tests and ultrasounds can be run by an obstetrician in order to find the core of this problem. Thus, it is crucial to seek help from an expert obstetrician who can provide the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Ma'am, I am suffering from endometriosis/chocolate cyst. I have been on Dienogest 2mg medicine for more than a month but still bleeding for 15 days straight. Neither heavy bleeding nor spotting, its something in between. Is there any permanent cure for chocolate cyst or pregnancy is the only solution? I am unmarried. Kindly enlighten me if there is any permanent solution for the same.

Female | 28

Yes with Dienogest it can take several months to be effective. If bleeding continues, speak with your doctor who may perform additional tests or adjust your medications. Doctors can recommend surgery in severe cases or when other treatments have not been effective. Talk to your gynecologist beacuse pregnancy is not a permanent solution for endometriosis or chocolate cysts.

I am 18 year old and i m suffer From vaginal itching inside after pee from 4-5 days and i had a UTI 2 months ago

Female | 18

Itchy vaginas after urinating might mean you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) again since you’ve had one before. UTIs may sometimes irritate. Ensure you drink enough water, avoid irritants such as fragranced soaps, and wear cotton panties. If the itchiness continues, it’s probably wise to see a gynecologist.

I'm facing vaginal inflammation after peeing I'm 25 years old how can i cure it

Female | 25

The inflammation in your vaginal area after peeing has some possible reasons. A yeast infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) could cause it. If you feel a burning sensation when peeing or have unusual discharge, it may be a UTI. Water and cranberry juice might help with UTIs. Over-the-counter antifungal creams can treat yeast infections. Wear cotton underwear and avoid perfumed products for good hygiene. See a gynecologist if symptoms persist or worsen.

Is mifestad 10 effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? It's a pill made from Vietnam.

Female | 23

As for Mifestad 10, it is not an emergency birth control pill. Emergency contraceptive pills can either contain levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate. If you have had unprotected sex, it's best to use a recognized emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. Remember the greater the time between unprotected intercourse and the taking of emergency contraception, the less effective it is.

After stopping birth control, your menstruation may not return immediately. Similarly, your cycle can be affected by the pregnacare pills. If the test is negative and you do not get your period, keep an eye on any symptoms while seeking further advice from a gynecologist.

I’m having lower abdominal pain sometimes, and I’m having foul smell discharge from my vagina

Female | 27

You mentioned troubles with stomach cramps and gross discharge coming from down there. These clues might mean you have bacterial vaginosis. That's an infection that happens because not enough good bacteria are hanging out in your vagina. Your gynecologist can give you antibiotics to make it go away after a quick check-up.

Hi. I’m having vaginal nerve pain from 6 months. I’m experiencing sharp vaginal pain. Pain is not consistent and it comes and goes and lasts for 5 sec. At times when I sit on the chair or bed I have sharp pain. When I don’t urinate for long I get pain in vagina. A few minutes ago I went to poop and had to put some pressure and when I put some pressure I started having severe pain in my vagina and there was a thick white discharge like cheese. I’m still experiencing slight pain in the vagina. A month back when I was doing some jumping exercises and faced severe vaginal pain. At times I also experience numbness in my vagina, hands and legs. I had severe constipation in the past but now it’s been fine. I also experienced severe lower back pain in the past but not anymore. I was also diagnosed with PCOD. I consulted the gp to check if there is any bacterial infection or thrush and doctor confirmed that I don’t have any infection or thrush. What could be the reason for this problem.

Female | 17

you might have pudendal neuralgia. It is a condition, which affects the pelvic floor and may cause sharp pain in the genitals, numbness in the hands, legs, and vagina. It may be due to birth trauma or prolonged sitting. We advise you to consult a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment options.

THE WATERY LIQUID could contain SPERM.. PREGNANCY CHANCE EXISTS.. IPill reduces the chance of pregnancy, but not 100%.. Being a PCOD patient may increase the chance of pregnancy.. Wait for next period.. If missed, take a pregnancy test..Or consult a gynecologist now if you are concerned

Having brown discharge after the monthly time is normal for some people. It may just be old blood coming out. If it is only for a few days before or after the monthly time, it is likely fine. But if it has other things like pain or bad smell, it is best to talk to a gynecologist to be safe.

Having severe pain 3 days after medical abortion

Female | 26

Experiencing severe pain 3 days after a medical abortion is distressing. The uterus contracts, returning to typical size, causing discomfort. Infection or remaining tissue potentially causes pain. Prompt contact with a gynecologist is crucial if pain intensifies. They'll identify the cause, providing suitable treatment for relief.

I had unprotected sex (40 days) no periods 20 days pregnancy test is negative

Female | 18

If you've missed your period and got a negative test after having unprotected sex, it may be a hormone imbalance or stress is the reason. The historically held view is that one can get pregnant only through fibrous tissue. When you become stressed or uneasy, your hormones become imbalanced. This can lead to missed periods. To establish the root of the problem, give it time to sink in and then check for a new pregnancy test or go to the gynecologist for a checkup.
