I'm a 24-year-old woman dealing with some issues that are really worrying me. I've been in a stable relationship for quite a while and have been sexually active for about six years. Usually, everything's okay after sex, but sometimes, two days later, I get really painful vaginal discomfort. It's not all the time, but it's been happening more often. Also, my periods last for about 12 days, which feels longer than usual, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I've been on homeopathic treatment for six months. About ten days ago, I had intercourse and have been in severe pain ever since. It's been lingering for the past eight days, and I'm really struggling. What do you suggest I do at this point? It's becoming really tough to handle.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Persistent vaginal pain after sex could indicate an infection, irritation, or underlying issue like PCOS-related hormonal changes. Please consult a gynecologist promptly for an evaluation, as timely care is essential for your comfort and health.

View allI'm currently 39 weeks pregnant, and my cervical length is showing up as 3.5 cm. I'm kind of worried and curious to know what the ideal cervical length should be for a vaginal delivery. Also, is there anything like exercises or other ways to increase cervical length, or should I even be thinking about that?
A cervical length of 3.5 cm at 39 weeks is actually considered good enough for a vaginal delivery. Ideally, a cervical length of 30-40 mm (or 3-4 cm) at 20 weeks is considered normal for a vaginal delivery. As for increasing cervical length, it's not something you can directly control. However, maintaining a healthy pregnancy through regular prenatal care, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated can support overall cervical health.

I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?
You should go for HYSTEROSCOPIC removal of polyp and endometrial biopsy for further evaluation as it is showing endometrial hyperplasia You should do your beta HCG measurement also

I'm a bit worried because my period is late by 4 days this month, even though they've been regular before. Last month, my period started on September 2nd, but I had dengue then and maybe because of the fever or weakness, my flow was really low. Do you think there's something wrong or should I be concerned? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
It's not uncommon for your menstrual cycle to be slightly delayed after an illness like dengue, as it can affect your hormones and overall health. If the delay is only a few days and there are no other concerning symptoms, it should be okay, but if the delay continues or you experience unusual symptoms, it might be worth consulting your doctor for reassurance.
