What is the reason for periods after 28 years of menopause?

Hi doctor,

I am a 70-year-old woman with 15-year history of high blood pressure and one year of diabetics and taking medicine for both regularly. Now two months back, I was surprised to have my periods after a gap of 28 years. Again after two and half months today, I have periods. I am very nervous, what is the reason for the same? Maybe my diabetic or blood pressure medicine or any other reason? I visit a gynecologist and she advised me some Elstale 500 for reducing bleeding. Can you suggest what I should do?

What is the cause of milky white vaginal discharge and itching?

Hello doctor,

I am a 17-year-old female. There is a milky vaginal discharge that I have been experiencing every day for six consecutive months. The first time I went to a doctor was when I was experiencing a cottage cheese like white discharge with super itchy feeling and burning sensation when urinating. The doctor gave me Itraconazole Sporanox and Imiquimod Aldara. It got better. My white discharge started after that. But I did not mind it because it was not accompanied by itching. I went to a different doctor again because I was experiencing a cottage cheese discharge again with itching, she gave me Clotrimazole vaginal tablet. The only problem I have now is I am having a white milky discharge every day. It does not seem normal to me.

I am 48 years old. I have two fibroids that are 3.5 inches in total size, and was advised to take 2 x 500 mg three times a day. It completely stopped the bleeding, but the bleeding started again after three days. I have had on-and-off bleeding for two weeks now. Is this a common problem with the medication?

Can I get pregnant just with precum?

Hello doctor,

I have to ask about my risk of pregnancy from precum. My husband just let his penis inside me three to four times without a condom, and he did not have an orgasm. Could I be pregnant? This happened around two months back. I got my period five days after the event, which was my regular date. I also got periods after a month, but periods lasted only two days, and a little bleeding happened on the third and fourth days. Can I be pregnant?
