Stress, usage of birth control pills, PCOS , are few reasons for menstrual disturbances. Imbalances in the hormonal secretion may result in period disorders as well. The primary hormones contributing to having a period three times a month include female sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Other than these, higher testosterone levels can also result in period 3 times in one month. Furthermore, anomalies in Thyroid levels may result in irregular periods as well.

I'm 24 and just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend recently. Initially, I had a lot of pain and couldn't do it, but eventually, we managed. What really surprised me though was that I didn't bleed at all. It's been on my mind since I'm not involved in sports or any activities like biking or running. How could this happen?

It's completely normal for some women not to experience bleeding during their first sexual encounter. The presence or absence of bleeding can vary based on the flexibility and elasticity of the hymen, as well as individual anatomy. It's important to remember that every experience is unique, and no one way is "correct." If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for reassurance.
