A 40-year-old female without a uterus cannot have a true menstrual period because menstruation involves the shedding of the uterine lining. However, some women may experience symptoms that feel similar to periods, such as pelvic pain or bleeding from other sources.

  1. No uterus means no menstrual bleeding: The uterus is essential for menstruation, so without it, there is no menstrual flow.

  2. Possible causes of bleeding: If bleeding occurs, it might be from the vagina due to other reasons like vaginal atrophy, infections, or hormone-related spotting.

  3. Other symptoms: Some women may still experience cyclical pelvic discomfort or hormonal symptoms related to the ovaries.

If there is any unexpected bleeding or symptoms, it is important to consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and care.

I found out I have a right ovarian lesion with fat calcific spec and hemorrhagic foci, possibly a dermoid cyst. Should I be worried about this? Is surgery necessary or can it resolve on its own? What are my options here?

A right ovarian lesion with calcification could indicate a benign dermoid cyst, but it’s essential to monitor it. Surgery may be recommended if it's causing discomfort or growing, but often these cysts resolve on their own without intervention.

I'm really worried and curious about something that happened recently. Is it possible to feel early pregnancy symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue just two days after having intercourse? I know it's super early, but I've been feeling off and can't help but wonder if these could be signs of pregnancy. Can such symptoms show up that quickly, or am I just imagining things?

Symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue can occur 2-3 days after intercourse due to various factors: Ovulation and Implantation 1. Implantation cramps (2-3 days after fertilization) 2. Hormonal changes triggering nausea and fatigue Other Possibilities 1. Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms 2. Ovulation symptoms (e.g., bloating, cramps) 3.
