Question 1

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and for the past 7 days, I've been experiencing brown discharge with my urine. The doctor I consulted gave me medications like Menoguard, Meganeuron OD, Dubagest, Duphaston, and also advised me to take the Eema HP 5000 injection twice a week for four weeks. I just started the medications and took one injection yesterday, but the brown discharge hasn't stopped. I'm really worried about my pregnancy. The sonography confirms I'm pregnant, but what's causing this brown discharge?

Question 2

I'm experiencing a really unbearable itch right at the entrance of my vagina, and there's this white, curd-like discharge coming from it. It also gets swollen if I scratch it. This just started yesterday, but it's already the second time this year that it's happened. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal medication. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry to help ease the discomfort.

Question 3

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm a bit worried and curious about when it's safe to have sex after my wife had a family planning operation on 9th August 2017. We have two daughters, and I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything right. How long should we wait?

After a tubectomy (family planning operation), it's generally recommended to wait for 7-14 days before resuming sexual intercourse to allow the body to heal and reduce the risk of complications or infection;
