Although there is not much scientific proof, it is said that hormonal surge from arousal may have effect of periods.

  1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Sexual activity might slightly influence hormone levels, but it's unlikely to cause a significant change in menstrual timing.

  2. Stress and Lifestyle Changes: Changes in stress or lifestyle associated with sexual activity can affect period timing.

  3. Infections or Irritation: Sexual activity can lead to vaginal infections or irritation, causing spotting mistaken for an early period.

  4. Pregnancy-Related Bleeding: Without contraception, early bleeding might be implantation bleeding, not a period.

If early periods persist, consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying issues.

Question

I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?

Question

I've been really concerned since my partner started taking cerazette for birth control. She's had this persistent lower abdomen pain that's off and on but it's definitely noticeable. It's been a month now, and not only is she experiencing a lot of pain, but also there's spotting and she hasn't gotten her regular period. Is this normal? The pain really seems like too much for her to go about her usual day. Can you advise on what might be happening or what we should do next?
