I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

I've been working out 5 days a week, mixing between light and hard exercises, but I've noticed that I bleed vaginally every single time. It's been happening more often in the past 2 months and I've been in this routine for 6 years. I'm really confused because I'm a virgin, so it can't be anything sexual, and my periods are regular. Plus, I've never used birth control. What's going on?
It's concerning that you're experiencing vaginal bleeding during every workout, especially if it's been happening more frequently. This could be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even physical strain. I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions and get a proper diagnosis.

I'm 16 and sometimes sexually active, but not always. I just started feeling an itch in my vagina yesterday, and today I noticed it's coming from this extra piece of skin on the right side. I'm really uncomfortable about it and not sure how to talk to my mom. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You may have developed a vaginal skin tag, which can sometimes occur due to friction or hormonal changes. It's important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to confirm the diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
