Usually, there are no symptoms of cervical dysplasia. Genital warts are a sign that someone has been exposed to certain types of HPV

Cervical dysplasia often does not cause noticeable symptoms, especially in its early stages. Many women, including those around 30 years old, may not feel any symptoms at all.

Key points to understand:

Definition: Cervical dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix.
Detection: It is usually detected through routine Pap smear tests rather than through symptoms.
Possible Symptoms: When symptoms do occur, they might include unusual vaginal bleeding, spotting between periods, or after intercourse, but these are not common.
Importance of Screening: Because symptoms are often absent, regular cervical screening is important for early detection and management.

If you have concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, it’s best to consult a gynecologist for appropriate evaluation and guidance. Regular screening remains the best way to catch cervical dysplasia early and prevent progression to cervical cancer.

I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm just wondering if I'll need to have a cervical stitch if we decide to go for a second pregnancy. Last time, during my second trimester, I had a cervical cerclage because of two previous miscarriages. My first child is 2 years old now, and I'm curious if this procedure would be necessary again. Any advice you could share would be really helpful.

Since you had a cervical cerclage during your second trimester in your previous pregnancy due to a risk of miscarriage, it's possible that your doctor may recommend a cervical stitch again for a subsequent pregnancy kindly consult your gynecologist

I'm trying to understand what Susten 300 tablets are used for. Are they meant to help with getting my period on track or are they more for supporting pregnancy? I'm a bit confused about this and would really appreciate some guidance.

Susten 300mg contains progesterone, which is a endogenous hormone in the human body. It can be used in various conditions, including to support early pregnancy or for the treatment of dysmenorrhea (irregular periods).
