Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

You may be dealing with a recurring Bartholin cyst, a type of cyst that takes place on the Bartholin's gland in the vaginal area and is filled with fluid. They can be painful and annoying. They appear when the wet and blocked Bartholin glands get. This can lead to the formation of a lump or swelling that is located almost at the vaginal opening. If you still have it, you might require extra treatment to stop your return. However, one of the best options is to schedule an appointment with your gynecologist to explore alternative treatments.

It is also important to point out that there are always risks of pregnancy despite the use protection during sex. Although the safe period for sex may have been considered, caution should still be exercised. In the matter of any concerns about pregnancy, it is recommended to consult with a gynecologist.

I see white creamy discharge since after my ovulation, my belly feels uncomfortable, fatigue and I sleep more these days

Female | 21

You might have the symptoms of a common medical condition, yeast infection. This may be signified by your typically producing white creamy discharge. The pain and over-fatigue in your body can also be responsible for this effect. Of course, there are over-the-counter medications that you can buy at the pharmacy which are the most effective and usually quick remedies for the condition. Also, keep wearing lightweight and breathable clothes and avoid anything with a high sugar content to help your body fight the infection.

Periods may be disrupted by several factors, such as stress, hormonal changes, or physical alterations. Every method of protection lowers the chances of getting pregnant, but none of them is 100% risk-free. The red spotting you noticed could also be the result of other issues like a hormonal imbalance or changes caused by stress. Watching the patterns of your menstruation is indeed important. If your periods don't turn out soon or if you're worried, it would be best to visit a gynecologist who can provide a personalized approach to address your concerns and reassure you.

Question for OBGYN or anyone in women’s health: I am 25F and have been using the Evra estrogen+progesterone patch (Canadian version) since February 2023 (almost 3 years) due to abnormally heavy periods leading to anemia. It has essentially stopped my period. For the last year only, since April, my “periods” (or breakthrough bleeding) have become more regular, occurring every 3 months or so. I usually will remove the patch when it starts to allow myself to shed any excess lining. But more recently I have been shedding extremely thick clots of coagulated blood/lining, multiple times an hour, each clot about the size of the palm of my hand. This coupled with EXTREMELY heavy bleeding. I use the largest and thickest available overnight pads throughout the day and night, and each one is soaked through in about an hour, along with 2-3 large jelly-like clots sitting on top of the pad which I have to pick up manually and dispose of in the toilet. I can feel the clots passing most often when moving from sitting to standing, as it is accompanied by a wave of abdominal pain and then the uncomfortable sensation of passing a large mass of tissue. I went to the ER the first time this started happening as I was worried about the blood loss. They instructed me to take iron supplements (which I already do) and told me it was normal on the patch - but it isn’t typical for me. It’s been impossible to find a doctor available nearby so I was hoping to get some more insight into why this is suddenly starting to happen, and whether it’s safe for me to continue on the Evra patch. Thank you so much for any help.

Female | 25

Some breakthrough bleeding can be normal on the patch, the sudden increase in clot size and frequency is definitely concerning. It's important to rule out any underlying issues causing this. In fact, such heavy bleeding and clotting could be due to changes in your hormonal balance or even conditions like fibroids. I recommend seeking a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, continue taking your iron supplements and consider using a menstrual cup for better monitoring.

I was supposed to start my cycle I would think on or around the 1st of this month. On my cycle days I spotted only when I had to pee. Also, i had some mild irritation in my vagina but nothing else. I spotted for almost over a week then I got what I’m assuming is my cycle now for 3 days ( more bleeding even when I’m not urinating )

Female | 24

You are experiencing irregular periods and vaginal irritation. Spotting may come from hormonal changes, infections, or even stress. Menstrual cycle lengthening may mean the bleeding is heavier. This can be done by resting, drinking enough water, and eating nutritious foods. However, if the symptoms continue or worsen, you should consult a gynecologist.

Can you please suggest a Medicine that is safe for a teen to cure period pain

Female | 16

Getting period pain during exams is tough. The uterus muscles contract strongly, leading to cramps and sometimes vomiting. A safe choice for teens like you is over-the-counter ibuprofen. It reduces inflammation and eases pain. Always follow the package instructions carefully.
