Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Cramps Post Unprotected Sex
Hi, i had unprotected sex on july 6th and we used the pull out method and then I got my period early on the 12th of july and it was for sure a normal period cramping and everything and lasted 6 days and i was really stressed out about my job at the time and was also exercising excessively might I add, and my period was early by 7 days last month so my question is, has my cycle changed to 21 days and my period is late? Or could it have just came early due to stress and exercise because I haven t had sex since July 6th which was before the last period. Or should i do a pregnancy test? I feel cramps and bloating right now.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Since you have got periods following an episode of unprotected intercourse, it states that you are not pregnant. However, you might have got periods early this time because of factors like stress and exercise. But that doesn't mean that your cycle has changed to 21 days. It might have occurred due to hormonal variations, but should stabilize in next couple of cycles. The symptoms what you are noting now can be managed by taking symptomatic treatment like Tablet.Mefenemic acid with Dicyclomine. Kindly consult Gynecologist if the symptoms becomes bothersome and irregular periods continues. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
