I'm really concerned because I've noticed a swelling near my clitoris. I'm a virgin, and there's no bleeding, but one side has been swollen for about three days now. It's super itchy sometimes, and I can definitely feel the swellingit hurts a lot. I always keep my whole body clean and wash my vagina every time I pee. I can't figure out why this is happening, and it's really scary. Can you help me understand what's going on?

A swollen and painful area near the clitoris, accompanied by itching, in the absence of bleeding or sexual activity, could be caused by various factors such as a Bartholin's cyst, ingrown hair, vaginal infections like vulvovaginitis, or other conditions like herpes or eczema, so it's essential to consult a gynecologis

View allI've been dealing with this issue for a while and I'm pretty confused about it. I'm 23 and my periods are either super light or almost nonexistent at times. Sometimes I'll just see a tiny bit of blood, and then nothing for the first few days, but then it starts up from the 4th day. It gets me pretty worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening?
Your irregular menstrual bleeding patterns, including delayed onset, reduced flow, or prolonged spotting, could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, stress, or weight fluctuations; consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation, pelvic exam, and potential ultrasound or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I'm feeling really nauseous and getting vertigo after taking the ipill. I'm also feeling really weak. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating? Maybe there's a diet plan you can suggest to help with these symptoms?
Your liver function test results show slightly elevated SGPT (49) and bilirubin levels. The bilirubin indirect level (1.47) is close to the upper limit of normal. Fibrosis value (liver stiffness) of 6.3 kPa indicates mild fibrosis. Consult your doctor or a gastroenterologist to discuss these results. They may recommend further tests, such as an ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health. In the meantime, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.

I'm 24 and just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend recently. Initially, I had a lot of pain and couldn't do it, but eventually, we managed. What really surprised me though was that I didn't bleed at all. It's been on my mind since I'm not involved in sports or any activities like biking or running. How could this happen?
It's completely normal for some women not to experience bleeding during their first sexual encounter. The presence or absence of bleeding can vary based on the flexibility and elasticity of the hymen, as well as individual anatomy. It's important to remember that every experience is unique, and no one way is "correct." If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for reassurance.
