Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

Sometimes, stress, changes in weight, or even a change in routine can cause a delayed period. Your last period's timing could also affect when your next one arrives. As for pregnancy, if you haven't had sex since your last period, the chances are low. However, irregular periods can occur due to various reasons. My advice would be to wait a bit longer, maybe another week, and if your period still hasn't shown up, it might be a good idea to take a home pregnancy test or see your gynecologist for further evaluation.

Actually my cycle last period start on 20 th August and end on 25 th August what is my ovulation date plz answer me????

Female | 19

By assuming a standard ovulation cycle of 28 days, ovulation occurs at the time of the next period which is 14 days prior to the period. Thus, your last period began on August 20th, hence you are likely to ovulate on or around September 3rd. Some indications of ovulation are differences in the thickness of cervical mucus, slight abdominal pain, and a rise in basal body temperature. You can also use ovulation predictor kits to check for ovulation.

I am freaking out about my chances of contracting stds. I had unprotected sex yesterday due to my bad judgement, i dont know the person sexual history. I am currently on Prep and took doxypep right after. How soon can/should I get tested?

Male | 29

If you engage in unprotected sex and you have a fear of getting STDs, you need to be examined now. It is possible that even though you are on PrEP and you have consumed Doxypep after the encounter you may still contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is advisable to see a gynecologist, or a urologist for your test, and a future plan on how to protect yourself.

मैंने 10 दिन पहले sex किया था उसके बाद प्रेग्नेंसी न हो इसके लिए हल्दी अजवायन नमक का काढ़ा लिया था मैने 1 केजी पपीता भी खाया था अभी लेकीन कुछ दिनों से मेरी वेजाइना में जलन और दर्द हो रहा है और टॉयलेट सुसु में blood आ रहा है मुझे क्या करना चाहिए

Female | 21

आपके लक्षण — वेजाइना में जलन, दर्द, और टॉयलेट करते समय खून आना — संभावित रूप से यूरीनरी ट्रैक्ट इन्फेक्शन (UTI) या किसी आंतरिक संक्रमण की ओर इशारा कर सकते हैं। घरेलू नुस्खे जैसे काढ़ा या पपीता प्रेग्नेंसी रोकने का सुरक्षित तरीका नहीं हैं, और ये शरीर को नुकसान भी पहुँचा सकते हैं। आपको तुरंत डॉक्टर या गायनोकॉलजिस्ट से मिलना चाहिए। वे यूरिन टेस्ट या अन्य जांच करके सही इलाज बताएंगे। देर करने से इंफेक्शन बढ़ सकता है, इसलिए खुद इलाज न करें। भविष्य में, प्रेग्नेंसी रोकने के लिए सुरक्षित और मेडिकल रूप से प्रमाणित तरीकों का ही उपयोग करें (जैसे कंडोम या इमरजेंसी पिल)।

I have developed wart like growth in cluster on my genital area(external labia) since last two months. Not sure if it is STI or something else. The last time I got sexually active was in august 2023, we used protection and didn't have multiple partners. Please let me know if i should visit a gynac or dermat?

Female | 28

The lumps you mentioned seeing around your private parts may be genital warts. They are caused by a virus known as HPV that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Even with protection, one can get HPV. To deal with this, you need to see a gynecologist who will diagnose you properly and suggest treatment options.

I do not use any kind of birth control. And am sexually active. I use condoms or pull out. I have always had pretty regular periods but recently gotten my period twice in 4 weeks. What do I do?

Female | 17

Having periods twice within 4 weeks can happen due to stress, weight changes, or hormone imbalances. If it continues or other symptoms like pain or heavy bleeding occur, seeing a gynecologist is wise to ensure everything's alright.

I'm a 21 yr female I have question that if I'm taking ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets and had unprotected sex is there a chance of pregnancy and before sex I have been taking this pills from 2-3 days

Female | 21

Contraception is the most common application of ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets. Almost always, if you are taking the tablets in the indicated manner, you won't get pregnant. However, if you made love without putting on a condom during 2-3 days of pill usage, you might get pregnant. Other signs of pregnancy are headache, shooting pains in the abdomen, and swollen feet. In addition to the tablets, identify other birth control and ask about it from a gynecologist if you want to be on the safe side.

I have taken ipill before 2 months. Till now I didn't get my periods. I tested negative pregnancy in pregnancy test kit.what can I do Please suggest

Female | 23

Irregular periods can be caused by several reasons, but in some cases, it may even be normal. Anxiety, getting bigger or smaller, or fluctuating hormones may be some of the reasons. The emergency contraceptive pill can also mess with your cycle. You can hold on for a little more. Nevertheless, if your periods have not come yet, it might be a good idea to see a gynecologist to check your situation.

Talk about misscarrige complete or not

Female | 20

the reasons for abortion are usually genetic anomalies or hormonal imbalances. In case you go through difficulties like vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain during pregnancy, see your obstetrician or gynecologist. The doctor will inspect the situation and decide if the miscarriage is finished or not. Immediate medical advice needs to be sought to rule out other possible health issues.

Female | 23

It’s understandable to be concerned about changes in your menstrual cycle. A delay in your period can be caused by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, or even medications. The dark discharge you’re experiencing may be old blood or buildup from previous cycles. While asthmatic medications can sometimes affect menstrual patterns, it’s important to consider all potential influences. I recommend tracking any other symptoms you may have and speaking with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice. They can help determine the cause and discuss any necessary adjustments to your treatment.

I’m currently experiencing lower abdominal pain and it’s been a week, started from severe sharp pain to mild and suddenly got my period but still in pain.

Female | 22

A lot of things can cause lower belly hurts, including periods. If it’s very bad at first then improves, that could just be your cycle. You might still feel aching while menstruating though. This comes with cramps often. Painkillers and a hot water bottle or pad on the tummy can help. Drink fluids and get some sleep too. In case this pain doesn’t stop or becomes severe, talking to a gynecologist would be a good step.

I had unprotected sex after taking dronis from the 5th day of periods and today was the 6th day of taking dronis. Tonight is gonna be the 7th day of taking the pill, am I safe?

Female | 18

When you start taking a birth control pill like Dronis on the 5th day of your period, it usually takes about 7 days for it to become fully effective in preventing pregnancy. Since tonight is your 7th day on the pill, you're almost there in terms of protection. However, until then, it's best to use an additional form of contraception, like condoms, just to be extra safe. Remember, birth control pills like Dronis work best when taken consistently and correctly. If you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to a gynecologist.
