Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 24 years old. I got married 1 month back. I am bleeding after each sex. It happened around four to five times. Also, I get some pain and this is ignorable. Previously, I suffered with period problem, facial hair and PCOS. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you rightly said, it is due to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).

You need to undergo a gynecological checkup, especially a speculum examination to rule out any abnormalities of the cervix and vagina because of bleeding during sex.

If you are not planning for baby, you can be on Krimson oral contraceptive pills under gynecologist supervision.

Or else, you need to consult an infertility specialist and take medicines to regularize your cycles and ovulation.

Reducing weight also will improve ovulation and periods. I suggest you not to delay fertility in view of PCOS.

For further information consult a sexologist online.
