Is red watery bleeding a matter of concern regarding pregnancy?
Hi doctor,
My girlfriend is 20 years old. She had periods from the 24th to the 29th. We had sex on the 31st and she had an I-pill after two hours of sex. She got bleeding on the 2nd of the following month and it lasted for four days. I thought it was of I-pill extra hormones. Then for two months, she missed her periods. I had also enquired regarding this on the icliniq and the doctor told me that it is not a serious concern and she will get her periods soon. After a while, she got her periods, but for the first two to five hours, she had red, watery liquid and it was followed by regular bleeding. But, it lasted for only three days rather than the normal five days of the period. The next month's periods were also the same with red watery bleeding. Would you please tell me, if is this a matter of serious concern regarding pregnancy? Or this is just the usual period symptom? I am very much worried. Please explain.

Can a right ovarian cyst cause pain in the left pelvic area?
Hi doctor,
I have polycystic ovary syndrome and my periods get delayed sometimes. From the past four days, I am having pain in my left pelvic area. I got an ultrasound done, and it shows 1.7 inch cyst in my right ovary. Why am I having pain on my left side when the cyst is on the right? Could this pain be due to the cyst?

Is adenomyosis a cancerous tumor?
Hi doctor,
I have irregular periods with very heavy bleeding, clots, cramps, stabbing pains in my pelvic area with no pattern connecting to bleeding. Some days, I am so fatigue and cannot function. This started five years ago. I had constant bleeding following coil insertion. Then it was removed and had a miscarriage at six weeks. When I was pregnant, there was no bleeding but had spotting throughout. Since delivery I am suffering again with irregular and heavy bleeds. It became worse for the past eight months. I have IBS which is stress related. I am taking Adalat for high blood pressure, which is under control. I was prescribed Mefenamic acid and Tranexamic acid as I refused coil due to previous bleeding with one and refused Esmya due to side effects. My transvaginal ultrasound found two polycystic ovaries and bulky adenomyotic looking anteverted uterus vascular ++ on anterior wall. The size was 0.7 x 1.1 x 0.3 inch. There are no fibroids or polyps or other pelvic masses or free fluid. Then what is it?

My mom gets severe abdominal pain followed by a painful lump below her stomach. What to do?
Hello doctor,
My 58 years old mom suddenly gets severe lower abdominal pain on the right side, and at the same time, she feels a lump below her stomach and above the thighs. She used to feel like something is being pulled inside in one direction. She gets relief from this stomach pain once she vomits, and then the lump below the stomach also disappears. The lump is a tubular structure about 1 to 2 inches diameter. Also, the lump is painful when touched and it is not movable. If she does not take rest immediately, she will have severe pain up to two days. Sometimes before the onset of stomach pain, she has dysentery. All this is going on from the past 1 to 1.5 years. During the abdominal pain, she cannot even urinate, and even if she urinates, it comes out in drops. Can you please let us know the possible reason, treatment, and diet measures if any? Thanks.
