Risk of Pregnancy after Unprotected Sex & Near Period
There's a pregnancy risk if you have unprotected sex around your period time. A missed period is the primary sign indicating potential pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg. To prevent pregnancy, using protection during sexual activity is crucial. If you think you might be pregnant, taking a pregnancy test can confirm the situation.

Missed Periods Lasting a Week
Being worried about late periods is normal. Periods can get delayed because of stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Pregnancy or health conditions may also be reasons. If it has only been one week since your last period and you're sexually active, take a pregnancy test. But if you're not pregnant, try not to worry. Sometimes periods come late. Eat nutritious foods, stay active, and manage your stress levels. However, if you're still concerned after a while, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist.

Why Do I Have Vaginal Itching, Soreness, Discharge?
If you have symptoms like itching, soreness, and a different kind of secretion, it could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. These viral infections can occur when there are too few beneficial bacteria in the vagina. Avoid using scented products in that area and wear cotton underwear to stay cool and comfortable. You can get over-the-counter yeast infection treatments but for bacterial infections, you need to see a gynecologist for antibiotics.
