Question 1

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and for the past week, I've been having some mild on and off lower abdominal pain. I had an ultrasound and everything looked normal, so no ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cysts, and my urine routine came back normal too. I'm just a bit worried about the pain and wondering if it's something I should be concerned about or if there are any other tests or precautions I should consider?

Accepted Answer

The mild lower abdominal pain you are experiencing could be due to the normal changes that occur during pregnancy. However, it's important to monitor this symptom and inform your healthcare provider if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief, following the recommended dosage on the package. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.

Question 3

I'm experiencing a burning sensation inside my vagina and it gets worse after I pee. It's also causing really bad stomach pain. What could be going on and what should I do about it?
