Question 2

I've just turned 23 and I'm a bit worried because I'm missing my periods. Today marks the 8th day they should have started, but there's nothing yet. It's unusual for me since I haven't experienced a delay like this in the past three years. The only time I had a delay was when I traveled abroad in 2013, and it was a 15-day delay. Last month, my period was only three days late. I had protected sex earlier this month, and I even took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Do you know why this might be happening or when I might get my periods?

Accepted Answer

Its possible that your period is delayed due to stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal fluctuations, especially since youve had a minor delay last month. Since your pregnancy test was negative and youve had protected sex, there's likely no need to worry. Its normal for occasional delays to happen, but if the delay continues or you have other concerns, its a good idea to consult with your doctor.

Question 3

I'm feeling a burning sensation inside my vagina and it's been happening for about a month now, especially during intercourse. Even though I've stopped having intercourse, the itching and discomfort haven't gone away. I'm really concerned and would love any insights on what this might be and how I can get some relief. What do you think could be causing this, and what steps should I take to address it?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I found out I have a small clear cyst on my cervix measuring 9.66 cm and they called it a nabothian cyst. Is this something that needs surgery or can it be left alone? I'm a bit worried about the size since it seems large

Nabothian cysts are benign‚Äîeven 9.6 mm size rarely needs surgery unless symptomatic or infected.
