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 a bit concerned about some lingering pains I've been experiencing after my vacuum-assisted delivery back at the end of November 2016. I still have knee and waist pain, and there's a stitch on the outside of my vagina that's causing a stretching pain. Could you let me know when it might be safe for my husband and I to start being intimate again?

I've been experiencing this red-black discharge in my vagina, and it keeps happening regularly about 15 days after my menstrual cycle. I'm feeling pretty worried about it. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The red and black discharge 15 days after your menstrual cycle could be due to various reasons such as ovulation, hormonal changes, or a minor vaginal injury; however, to rule out any underlying conditions like endometriosis, polyps, or infections, consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination
