Can a lactating woman take medicine to induce period?
The omission of a period can be a source of anxiety. Even if you haven't had unprotected sex, other factors like stress, hormonal changes, or some medications may cause a missed period. The cramps in your back may be the result of your menstrual cycle. Don't rely on medicine, focus on calming down, eating healthy, and drinking enough fluids. If your period continues to be late, you may want to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Why is my vagina itching with white discharge?
You might encounter a yeast infection. Yeast is a microorganism that can grow excessively and cause itching and white discharge in the vagina. It is because they have sometimes taken antibiotics or wear tight clothes. You can indeed use the over-the-counter cream for yeast infections. Hence, wearing cotton underwear and the absence of scented products near the vulva are among the best ways to help ladies prevent yeast infections in the future.

Started period early, had unprotected sex, am I safe?
The 17th starting and the 20th ending period is a pretty normal cycle. Having unprotected sex on the 22nd might expose you to the risk of getting pregnant. So, watch for possible symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. If you're concerned, think about using emergency contraception or taking a pregnancy test.

Late Period After Unprotected Sex
Getting pregnant is possible without sperm entering. You could experience missed periods, tiredness, sickness, or sore breasts if you're pregnant. Late periods don't always mean pregnancy, though. Stress and hormone changes can also cause them. If you're worried, take a home pregnancy test to feel better.

Timing of Sex After Menstrual Bleeding
Menstrual bleeding concludes, and then an egg within the woman's uterus commences development. Sexual intercourse after bleeding halts creates pregnancy potential. The egg's lifespan extends roughly 12-24 hours post-release. Meanwhile, sperm survive up to 5 days inside the female body. Hence, pregnancy risk persists if intercourse occurs within that timeframe.

Absent Menstrual Cycle for 6 Months
Periods can sometimes go missing due to various factors. A frequent reason is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that disrupts menstrual regularity. PCOS also causes ovaries to swell beyond their normal size. This abnormality throws hormones off balance, altering the cycle's rhythm. To restore order, doctors might recommend lifestyle adjustments, medications, or other treatments to manage PCOS. If missed periods concern you, visit a gynecologist.

Late Period After Birth While Breastfeeding
New moms may have irregular periods, especially when breastfeeding. It takes time for your body's cycle to regulate after childbirth. Breastfeeding impacts hormones, potentially delaying periods. Eat properly, get enough rest, and prioritize self-care. If concerned, take a pregnancy test for reassurance. Don't worry excessively, but consult a gynecologist if issues persist.
