Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

The heaviness in your chest and pain in your back and shoulders could be due to the changes happening in your body as your baby grows. Sometimes, the expanding uterus can press on nerves, causing discomfort. Your hemoglobin level of 9.6 is slightly low, which might contribute to your symptoms. To address this, make sure you're eating iron-rich foods like leafy greens and red meat. Also, try to maintain good posture and consider gentle stretches or prenatal massage for relief. However, it's always best to consult with your gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

I had a home pregnancy test and there was a faint positive line. Then 3 days later I started to see blood not as normal as my period. I thought it's implantation bleeding and it's now 5 days and the bleeding is still there. Could I have suffered a miscarriage or am I still pregnant or was I ever pregnant.

Female | 30

The gynecologist must be consulted for a comprehensive examination. Your mentioning of the situation may be an indication of a miscarriage thanks to you. Nevertheless, the best course of action remains for a physician to determine the diagnosis and to offer the right treatment.

Female | 25

Experiencing light brown discharge during early pregnancy can be common and often indicates implantation. Rest assured that without significant pain or cramps, it may not be concerning. However, given that you are on hormone treatments, it’s essential to communicate any changes with your gynecologist. They can provide tailored guidance based on your individual circumstances. Ensure you continue to follow prescribed treatments and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

It is possible to detect pregnancy before a missed period but the highest accuracy is designated after a missed period. It's possible to obtain home pregnancy tests that are accurate after one missed period. Please visit a gynecologist.

Am a female single woman suffering from thyroid bp and fibroids and tachy cardia and infract in brain Am suffering with heavy bleeding with clots which is lasting till 13 days and am getting periods twice in a month. I can't undergo surgery. Plz suggest me treatment

Female | 40

You may be feeling an elevated level of discomfort from the heavy bleeding and some additional health problems. One of the causes of irregular periods could be hormonal imbalance, fibroids (growths in the uterus), or thyroid issues. Surgical treatment not being an option, non-surgical therapies are the alternative. Drugs such as the ones used in hormonal therapy can carry out the regulation of menstrual cycles as well as decrease bleeding. Besides that, a lifestyle change – for example, keeping a healthy diet and reducing stress – can help. Nonetheless, it is important to ask for advice from your gynecologist who will design a specific treatment plan for you depending on your circumstances.

I got my period after 2days of unprotected intercourse and it's been a week and there is no symptoms

Female | 15

It's normal for your period to be late after unprotected intercourse, as the body sometimes reacts this way. It's common not to show any symptoms for a week. Pregnancy symptoms might appear later. Stress or changes in your routine can also delay your period. If you're concerned, taking a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks can give you a clearer answer.

Female | 33

Vaginal discharge may commonly occur but can also signify an imbalance or an infection. Common triggers such as hormonal changes, infections, allergies, or dryness are typically involved. It is very critical to look for associated symptoms like bad odor, color changes, or itching. Apart from proper hygiene, and wearing things like cotton, treating irritants will also help. But if you find the discharge to be worrying or if you have other symptoms, I suggest you make an appointment with your gynecologist.

I am 19 years old Christina I am a lesbian had rough sex and rn I feel discomfort in my virgina now I’m seeing a yellow spot like flesh inside my virgina which itches and like bumps around the lip of the virgina ! What can I do

Female | 19

I presume that you have a vaginal disease. The discomfort, itching, and the existence of the vulva bubbling and bumps could be due to a yeast infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It's not an option - you should not have sex before a gynecologist's examination. They will examine you and give you the drugs you need to cure the illness.

Female | 18

Irregular or abnormal menstrual bleeding can occur due to many reason like hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in contraceptive methods, etc. It doesn't always mean that its about pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, it's advisable to take a pregnancy test to get a clearer understanding of your situation.

Female | 32

Fibroease 25 mg for uterine fibroids is not supposed to make a patient have blood clots and bleeding while using the drug. I would suggest your friend to see a gynecologist at the earliest. The doctor can prescribe an ultrasound or other tests to find out the source of bleeding, adjusting its medication as per need or suggesting further treatment options.

I was put on doxycycline and metronizdale as a precaution, which was stopped after 7 days because my STD screening was negative, However, now my cramps feel worse.

Female | 19

Get a thorough evaluation done as Pelvic cramps are caused due to some reasons. While it's challenging to provide a definitive solution without a proper examination, here are a few possibilities that you may consider - Pelvic inflammatory disease, gynecological conditions, or musculoskeletal issues can result in cramps and discomfort.

Female | 21

Your concerns about vaginal discharge and cramps may indicate potential issues. These symptoms are often related to hormonal changes, stress, or an infection. Yeast infections are a common cause of these symptoms. To ease discomfort, try wearing breathable cotton underwear, avoiding scented products, and practicing good hygiene. However, if the symptoms persist despite these self-care measures, it's important to visit a gynecologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 33

You are undergoing some pain in the lower belly and back along with white discharge. There is a possibility that these symptoms result from an infection or a problem with your reproductive organs. On the other hand, the imbalance of hormones can also lead to these issues. For a more precise diagnosis, consultation with a gynecologist is necessary. The doctor will be capable of helping you pinpoint the reason for the discomfort and suggest the best treatment course for you.

My boyfriend and I had sex and he had a little bit of blood on his shaft, it was closer to his stomach so I don't think any went inside me, i haven't had any issues so far and don't have insurance, I just want to know if there's any cause for concern, we are only active with one another for the last 3 years. Thank you

Female | 24

Sometimes, blood during sex can occur due to small cuts or irritation. If no blood enters your body and you feel fine, that's a good sign. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, it's important to see a gynecologist. Minor tears or friction can cause bleeding, but if you’re okay now, there’s likely no need to worry. Still, it’s best to get checked out if anything seems off later.

Female | 21

It's completely normal for your periods to change occasionally. If your period is late, there may be many reasons for it such as stress, sudden weight change, or hormonal imbalance. If besides missing it you also experience nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue - take a pregnancy test. If you are worried, visit a gynecologist who can give you more information.
