Dryness and Menstruation:
- Dryness is not a typical symptom directly caused by menstruation.
- Hormonal fluctuations, especially changes in estrogen levels, can lead to vaginal dryness at different times in the cycle.
-
Key Considerations:
- Vaginal Dryness: May occur before or after periods but is often linked to menopause, breastfeeding, or medications.
- During Periods: Increased discharge and bleeding usually result in more moisture, not dryness.
-
When to Seek Help:
- If dryness is accompanied by discomfort, itching, or pain, consider other causes like infections or allergies.
- Consult a healthcare provider if dryness is persistent or bothersome.
-
Self-Care Tips:
- Use gentle, fragrance-free hygiene products.
- Avoid irritants to maintain comfort.

View allI'm 8 days late for my period, which is unusual since they're usually regular. I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative, but I'm experiencing leg pain and there's a white milky discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on with my body?
Its possible that stress, hormonal changes, or other factors like infection could be affecting your cycle, even with a negative pregnancy test. The leg pain and milky discharge might also indicate something like an early hormonal imbalance or a vaginal infection. Its best to follow up with your doctor for a more thorough evaluation if your period doesn't start soon.

I recently found out I have a right ovarian cyst measuring 95.5 cc with a peripherally situated solid component of about 12x6 mm in the adnexal area from my ultrasound. My CA-125 is 8.5, which is normal. My doctor initially suggested surgery but then prescribed me Derivery 10 mg daily for 3 months when I asked about medicine options. I'm 24 and not married should I be worried about the cyst or the treatment plan? Is medicine enough or should I consider surgery?
It's understandable to be concerned about your ovarian cyst, especially with the initial suggestion of surgery. While a normal CA-125 level and your age are positive factors, the size and solid component of the cyst warrant caution. Whether medicine or surgery is the best option depends on your individual circumstances and the potential for complications. It's crucial to have a thorough discussion with your doctor about the pros and cons of each approach.

I'm supposed to have sex during this specific period like my doctor suggested, but I've suddenly come down with a fever. Is it safe or advisable to proceed with sex while I'm not feeling well?
It's generally advisable to avoid sexual activity when you have a fever, as your body is already fighting an infection and may need rest. Engaging in sex could potentially strain your immune system further. It's important to prioritize your health and consult with your doctor for personalized guidance.
