Should I tell my gynecologist about lost periods?
They can help identify the underlying causes, which might include low-calorie intake, hormonal issues, or other factors. If you share your concerns, they will likely focus on supporting you without involving your family unless there’s a serious risk to your health. Your gynecologist may suggest lifestyle changes, monitor your progress, or possibly recommend counseling if needed. Open communication is key to your well-being, and seeking professional help is a positive step toward regaining your health.

Could this red, sore bump be an ingrown hair?
It sounds like you may be experiencing ingrown hair, which occurs when hair curls back into the skin, leading to inflammation. The redness and tenderness you describe are common symptoms. To relieve discomfort, consider applying a warm compress to the affected area and avoid tight clothing. Exfoliating gently can also help prevent future occurrences. While these measures often suffice, if the irritation persists or worsens, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. They can provide tailored advice and treatment if necessary, ensuring your well-being is prioritized.

Should I Worry About No Bleeding After Medical Abortion?
After a medical abortion, some women experience delayed bleeding or may not bleed at all initially. Retained tissue can lead to complications, so it's important to monitor your symptoms.

The antibiotics prescribed are to prevent infection, which is essential during this time. Trust your healthcare team to guide you through this process and ensure your health is prioritized.

Do I need treatment for severe diarrhea and anal burning?
Experiencing frequent loose stools along with discomfort around the anal area can stem from various factors, including infections, dietary changes, or stress.
