I've just gotten my STD test results back, and I'm a little worried. My HSV 1 IgG test is positive, but the IgM is negative. I've never had symptoms before, and last month was the first time I had oral sex, so I thought itd be a good idea to get checked. The healthcare provider mentioned everything is okay, but I'm still stressing out. Should I really be worried about this? Could this be something serious?

I'm around five weeks pregnant and started having cramps yesterday, followed by bleeding that feels like a period. I'm concerned because I also had some tissue-like clot discharge and the bleeding hasn't slowed down. Is this something I should be worried about? Could you help me understand what's happening?

The symptoms you're experiencing, including cramps, bleeding, and a tissue-like clot discharge, are concerning and may indicate a miscarriage; immediately consult your obstetrician or visit the emergency room for a thorough evaluation, including an ultrasound, to confirm the status of your pregnancy and receive appropriate guidance and care.

I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis
