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.

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.
