Gynecologyy

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

Please see your Obstetrician as soon as possible. The toughening of the stomach during pregnancy can be a symptom of Braxton Hicks contractions, but they do no harm and are normal. However, it can be a signal of early labor and preterm birth along with severe pain, pain, bleeding, and discharge.

i'm feeling bloated in my lower abdomen and it hurts sometimes but I don't have period, i missed my period 10 days and I'm experiencing spotting. my last period begin on last april 15. My partner and I did something on 1 week of April and I still got my period on April 15. Now, my partner and i didn't have sex but I still got no period this time. please help me on this, thank you for answering.

Female | 19

Missed periods, bloating, lower stomach pain, and spotting are all signs of hormone imbalance which can be caused by stress among other things like pregnancy etc. The exercise activity from April’s first week might have affected your cycle. Monitor these symptoms plus your menstrual cycle for the next couple of weeks. If they worsen, see a gynecologist who will give you further instructions on what steps to be taken.

The first day of my last period was April 1st and my expected ovulation date was April 17th. I had sex on the 13th/14th and took plan B in the morning of the 14th; I had sex again on the 19th/20th and took plan B on the morning of the 20th and I had sex on the 28th and took the plan B immediately. I am not on any contraceptive medication and my partner pulled out before ejaculating - so he said. I washed up immediately and took the pills. My period is late now and I don’t want to be pregnant. I have taken about 6 pregnancy test and they were all negative, not even a faint line of positive which is relieve. But my period is a day late and I’m worried. I took a test this morning and it was still negative. I feel tired, bloated, and I urinate frequently. What do I do?

Female | 26

Stress can make your period late. Plan B can also make your cycle different, and make your period late. Feeling tired, bloated, and peeing a lot could be from hormone changes or UTIs. Stay calm, wait a little longer, and keep watching for signs. If you are still worried, talk to a gynecologist.

I have missed periods for 7 months now and it’s not the first time since the first time I had my period at 12 and I have an important weight gain I’m 82 kg at 16.

Female | 16

It's concerning that you have missed your periods for 7 months now, especially since you started your periods at 12. The important weight gain you mentioned can contribute to irregular periods. This could be due to hormonal imbalances or other health issues. It's important to see a gynecologist to find the exact cause and get the right treatment.

Can I take Norethisterone tablet to postpone my periods

Female | 23

Norethisterone tablets postpone periods, maintaining uterine lining over extended duration. Short-term usage is safe. However, potential side effects mirror menstrual symptoms: abdominal discomfort, headaches, nausea. Strictly adhere to the physician's prescribed dosage instructions to circumvent complications.

With no issues like aches, bleeding, or peeing trouble now, you can probably have sex again sometime. Still, it's wise asking a gynecologist if you have concerns or need answers.

Am 40 weeks pg,on saturday I saw discharge with a drop of blood then later had strong braxton hicks until around 1am which disappeared until yesterday 4pm, I've seen brownish little discharge from time to time since then with little cramping, am I okay

Female | 27

Maybe you’re having some symptoms that suggest your body might be getting prepared for delivery. The blood drop could occur because your cervix is beginning to open. A brownish discharge along with cramps are normal as well since this means that your body is readying itself for birth. Make sure you rest, drink plenty of water, and watch the cramps. If you start feeling worried or cramping gets worse don’t hesitate to contact a gynecologist.

Hi. My partner is male and I am female. He recently disclosed that he was diagnosed with herpes many years ago but has never had an outbreak since. So I have allowed us to have unprotected sex. Am I able to contract it even though he’s been dormant for years ?

Female | 28

Infections can be transmitted through sexual contact, even without visible outbreaks. Even if your partner may not have had symptoms for years, the virus can still shed and pose a transmission risk. Please consult a good medical facility and a gynecologist for proper evaluation.

Breast pain and presence of a lump can have various causes, such as hormonal changes, fibrocystic changes, infections, cysts, or even injury. In some cases, it could be associated with breast cancer, although this is not common. It's best to get a checkup done with your nearest gynecologist.

Female | 24

Burning sensation in vagina or clitoris can be a result of raw area in vagina due to forceful sex or UTI.as a piece of tissue with blood was seen it must be some injury. pregnancy can't occur so early. we have to wait for periods

I went on my period twice this month, is that normal?

Female | 21

Your period arriving twice in a month can feel unexpected. However, it sometimes occurs for certain individuals. Potential causes may include hormone imbalances, heightened stress levels, or weight fluctuations. In some cases, underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could contribute. If you experience abnormal symptoms accompanying this, such as severe discomfort or excessive bleeding, seeking guidance from a gynecologist for proper evaluation becomes crucial.

I dont want a baby now, and I have gone to the doctor but he said that if you have gone through caesarean then you have only one option, that is only surgical abortion. And I want mtp. What should I do? please help

Female | 25

If you don’t want pregnancy, then you will first have to get your sonography done, to see for how many weeks you have been pregnant. Second, how to approach this issue also depends on the number of months for which you have been pregnant, and if it's in the range of medical termination then you will be prescribed pills for same. You can approach gynecologists - Gynecologists in Bangalore, let the clinicspots team know if your city is different, and I can be consulted as well. Take care.

Is taking mifepristone 10 mg effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? I took it hours after having unprotected sex.

Female | 23

Mifepristone is a medication that is typically not used in the 10 mg dose as an emergency contraceptive pill. It may be less beneficial than other methods such as emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel. Your preventive action is a good step. However, be aware that this may not be effective in preventing pregnancy. In case you experience any abnormal symptoms or if you suspect you are pregnant, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist.

I am a 21 year old female. I had unprotected sex during my periods. A few days later after the period got over, I am having brown spotting. What can be the reason for this? Any chance it might be pregnancy?

Female | 22

If you experience brown spotting, it could be due to short-term discharges of blood that were not completely shed during your period, or because you have hormones. Occasionally, such a situation could be attributed to some hormonal problems or it may also indicate pregnancy, though it is rather rare among pregnant ladies. You might want to use a pregnancy kit and check if your worries are unfounded. Wait and see if the problem goes on or if there are any other signs, then the best solution is to discuss the situation with the gynecologist to get a well-informed decision.

I had protected sex on Feb 8th and taken i-pill and got withdrawal bleeding after 5 days. Then again I had protected sex on Feb 25th and I took i-pill and didn't get the bleeding. Is it because I may get pregnant?

Female | 22

Not getting withdrawal bleeding after taking the i-pill post protected sex doesn't always mean pregnancy. The emergency contraceptive can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle. However, if you're still worried, you can take a home pregnancy test a few weeks later to ease your mind.
