Frequently Asked Questions
Painful sex may be a result of the following situations:
- Inadequate lubrication due to lack of foreplay or medication
- Infection
- Thinning of the vaginal walls
Urinal incontinence is an under-reported problem that’s common among women of various age groups. While it may be common, it’s not normal or something you can ignore. Ask your doctor about viable treatments for urinal incontinence.
Vaginal discharge is your body’s cleansing mechanism. It is normal to have clear or milky discharge, but in case you notice a variation in the color, odour or volume (unusually high), it may be a sign of infection. Rush to your doctor for immediate evaluation.
Heavy bleeding during periods is the woman’s worst nightmare. Not only do you have to double up on pads, but you are constantly concerned about leaving blood stains on your seat. All of this makes that time of the month unbearable for you. If you can relate, you must address this issue in your Gynecologist’s presence. There could be an underlying health issue or the onset of menopause or a bigger issue in the making.
Your lifestyle has a considerable influence on your periods. Poor diet and taking a lot of stress can delay your period by several days or even a month. Other reasons may include polycystic ovarian syndrome for which your Gynecologist may prescribe birth control pills.
The unusually high volume of vaginal discharge and itching are telltale signs of infection or something severe bubbling under the surface. If the vaginal discharge and itching persist despite hygiene measures, you must see your doctor.
