Stress can indeed affect your menstrual cycle, especially for a young woman like you. Here's what you should know:
-
Hormonal Impact: Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can interfere with those regulating your menstrual cycle.
-
Irregular Periods: This disruption can lead to irregular periods, missed cycles, or changes in flow.
-
Other Factors: Besides stress, changes in weight, exercise habits, or health conditions can also affect your cycle.
-
When to See a Doctor: Consult a healthcare provider if irregular periods persist or are accompanied by severe pain or heavy bleeding.
Managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can help regulate your cycle. If you have concerns, a gynecologist can provide personalized advice and check for other causes.

I'm curious about whether oral sex is safe for my partner and me. We don't have any sexually transmitted diseases, so does that make it okay? Also, are there any good tips to keep in mind for oral sex?

I have a 9.6x9.8x9 cm posterior intramural fibroid but my menstrual cycle is normal at 28-30 days with no heavy bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. We're trying to conceive and all other pregnancy-related tests came back normal. Should I consider surgery before trying to get pregnant, or is it safe to attempt conception first and opt for surgery later if needed? I'm worried about how the fibroid might affect my uterus for pregnancy.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
