I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and my clitoris is really swollen. It's gotten so bad I can barely walk. I've already tried taking Levoiz and Emanzen D but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

I'm really worried and need some advice. So, last month on the 24th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm not sure if he had precum on his hands or not. It could have been there about 10 minutes before when he got it, but then we fooled around for 10 more minutes before he actually put his finger in my vagina. He didn't ejaculate, but I guess there might have been a chance of precum. Anyway, my periods have always been irregular, but now it's been delayed for like 15 days. My last period was also late by 14 days, and I've taken a pregnancy test on the 11th, which was negative. I was supposed to get my period on the 4th of this month, but instead, there was just some light brown spotting on the 14th. On top of that, I was losing a lot of hair a month ago and had sudden weight gain about 2 years back. I don't feel weak or nauseous and there's no constipation, frequent urination, vomiting, or exhaustion, just some lower back pain that comes and goes. Could I still be pregnant even though the test was negative, or could something else be going on? I'm kind of freaking out and would really appreciate your advice.

There is no risk of pregnancy in this scenario you can ignore if and visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management
