Does romance affect menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

A new study found exposure to male pheromones can boost a woman's mood and stimulate the release of a hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle.

Question 2

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.

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

I'm really worried about this personal issue I'm experiencing with my girlfriend. After I finger her, there's a bad smell coming from her vagina and on my hand. She doesn't have any vaginal infections or itching, but this has been happening for the last three months. It wasn't like this before, so I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to affect our relationship. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what we can do about it?

Accepted Answer

It could be due to bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition where there is an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina, leading to a fishy odor. I recommend your girlfriend to use Metronidazole gel 0.75% applied intravaginally once daily for 5 days. This will help to restore the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and alleviate the bad smell. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands before and after sexual activity, can also help prevent the recurrence of this issue.

I'm 9 months pregnant and I've been having really bad gas pain for about 10 hours now. It's super uncomfortable and I'm starting to get worried. Is there anything I can do to relieve it or should I be more concerned?

Patient is advised tab rantac 150 mg,oraly,before food and syrup sucralfate 10 ml,thrice daily for 7 days.
