Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

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.
