Why is my cycle irregular? And is there any infection to m? - #11738
In July month before few days of my period i experienced anal and vaginal itching after sex but vaginal itching reduced anal itching had become very severe and I visited the gynecologist she suggested me a cream and after 2 uses it had gone. I have been married for 2 years whenever we have sex i don't feel anything but from July month we had sex for 4-5 time i experienced vaginal and anal itching little but not severe. I visited the gynecologist she suggested me a cream and tablets.But in the month of July I got my periods on 25 but in August I got it on 28 and in the month of September I got it on 23 and the period length will be for 5-6. My period ended on 27 On 29 sep we had sex but I didn't experience any itching but when he was putting his penis inside vagina i felt burning sensation near vulva and during ejaculation i felt pelvic pain and after half an hour or one hour I went to pee there was very light blood with egg white discharge but while peeing or after sex I didn't experience any pain or burning sensation or any itching. 1. The blood which came after sex with egg white discharge is period blood? 2. These are due to hormonal changes? 3. Should I be concerned about this? 4. These are the signs of any infection? 5. The pain and burning sensation is due to periods and contraction of muscle?

Hello Pallavi, thank your for sharing your concern. I’m here to help.
1. The egg-white discharge is not period blood, but probably post-coital spotting. Your periods finished recently only. This can happen due to surface irritation. Use a water based LUBE (eg. K-Y Jelly OR Durex Play feel) during intercourse to make it better.
2. You are facing some cycles irregularity but the dates and days you have mentioned, all fall within normal ranges. No need for immediate intervention at this moment. This can happen due to hormonal changes, stress, sleep disturbances.
3. Since your itching has improved, no need to do anything for it now. But if post-coital bleeding keeps recurring - Get done a Pelvic exam and a Pap Smear.
4. Signs of infection? - Infections usually cause persistent symptoms: foul discharge, bad smell, itching, pain on urination, fever. Your current episode (burning during sex, light bleeding once) is not typical of an active infection.
5. Burning/pain during sex - Likely due to friction / dryness (especially right after periods, when natural lubrication is less). Muscular contraction and pelvic congestion can also cause temporary pain. Using a water-based lubricant can help.
6. What you should do now - Maintain good genital hygiene. Use lubricant during sex if dryness persists. If post-coital bleeding repeats → visit gynecologist for cervical exam and Pap smear. Track your cycles; if cycles become >35 days or <21 days regularly, or if bleeding becomes very heavy/irregular, seek evaluation for hormonal causes (thyroid, PCOS, prolactin, etc.).
Feel free to reach out again.

Hello Palavi In my opinion… it can be sometimes due to infection too… uti decrease length of cycle and bleeding can be common symptoms… and painful during intercourse too… And sometimes it can be due to hormonal imbalance but here i see less chance…
Have you taken any previous medicine? Or current medicine which are going on ? Let me know further in details so that i can prescribe you medicine according to that…
Thank you
1.The light blood with egg white discharge after sex is most likely due to minor vaginal wall irritation, not period blood, since your cycle had just ended.
2.Hormonal changes around your cycle can make the vaginal tissue more sensitive and sometimes cause burning or spotting.
3.Since the itching is mild and not constant now, it does not strongly suggest a serious infection, but recurrent itching after sex should be checked.
4.The pelvic pain and burning during intercourse may be due to dryness, muscle contraction, or small abrasions rather than infection.
5.You don’t need to panic, but if spotting, pain, or itching continues, visit your gynecologist again to rule out vaginal infection or hormonal imbalance.
The blood you saw after sex was not period blood most likely ovulation spotting or minor abrasion. It seems more related to hormonal changes & mild local sensitivity, not infection. No need to worry if it was only once, light, and you have no persistent symptoms. If it repeats frequently, is heavy, or comes with foul discharge / strong pain, consult your gynecologist.
Hello dear See as per clinical history it seems just normal hormonal fluctuations. There are no severe symptoms neither any serious issue Also you already got clarification from gynacolologist that it is normal period. So there is no need to worry. However for exact confirmation and for your satisfaction,you can share the following tests with gynacolologist after 1-2 weeks Serum ferritin RBS Serum TSH Serum prolactin Serum prolactin Pelvic USG Urine analysis Rft Lft You can share results after 1-2 weeks with gynacolologist in person for better clarification. This will also ensure whether any risks are there or not Hopefully you remain normal Regards
Hello Your symptoms suggest vaginal infection. Also, there can be chances that your partner is infected too as its happening when you do intercourse.
Kindly do these precautions and take this treatment. 1. Use a LUBRICANT with anesthesia property 2. Do roleplay before penetration, don’t rush for it. 3. Maintain local hygiene 4. Avoid intercourse for 5 days 5. Drink 1.5-2 lit./day 6. Tablet Fluconazole 150mg once only
Your periods are normal as per your history. Take care
Hi Pallavi,
To be clear and precise,
🛑Answers to Your Questions 1. No, more likely spotting from sex or ovulation. 2.Possible, but infection or irritation is more likely cause. 3.Yes, since symptoms are recurring. You should follow up with your gynecologist. 4.Yes, symptoms are suggestive of vaginal/anal infection or irritation. 5.Not likely, since your period had just ended. More likely due to infection, dryness, or irritation.
Please do these tests; Vaginal swab Urine test
Avoid sex until its clear. Use lubricants during sex(water based)
The fluctuation of your periods is not highly irregular-cycles between 21 to 35 days are still considered normal.
This might be an yeast infection or a bacterial infection. Anyway please do the test for confirmation and proper treatment.
I trust this helps Feel free to talk Thank you
Hello, You may have lower urinary tract infection or pelvic inflamtorry disease. It is a infection of lower vagina and genital organs.
You can get few tests done like Cbc,Urine routine analysis,Urine couture,Usg scan whole abdomen and pelvis.
Also maintain personal hygiene,use a mild wash like vWash for intimate hygiene.let me know if you have any more questions
1. The light blood with egg-white discharge after sex is unlikely to be period blood since your period had just ended; it could be post-coital spotting from cervical or vaginal surface irritation.
2. Hormonal changes around the cycle can make the vaginal lining more sensitive, which may contribute, but hormones alone don’t usually explain burning or bleeding after sex.
3. Occasional spotting or mild burning after sex can be benign, but recurrent symptoms should be evaluated.
4. Yes, these can also be signs of infection, dryness, or cervical changes, especially given your history of itching — so it’s worth ruling out yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or cervicitis.
5. The pelvic pain and burning sensation may partly relate to muscle contraction and friction soon after your period, but persistent or recurrent pain is not typical and should be assessed.
👉 My advice: Please consult a gynecologist again for a pelvic exam, vaginal swab/culture, and possibly a Pap smear to rule out infection or cervical causes.
Hi dear pallavi , This looks more of leucorrhea (vaginal discharge) Kindly use v wash Kindly maintain hygiene Adequate hydration and u will need discharge for culture sensitivity Take antibiotics and antifungals accordingly Might be fungal too Kindly donot panic the pain might be because of uterine contractions Take care
It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of symptoms that could have various underlying causes. Let’s break it down based on the questions you posed. 1. The light blood with egg white discharge after sex might not necessarily be period blood, especially since you’ve just finished your period. It could be post-coital spotting, which can occur due to various reasons such as cervical irritation or minor trauma during intercourse. It’s not uncommon, but if it happens consistently, it should be evaluated. 2. Hormonal changes can indeed lead to irregular periods and discomfort, but spotting or post-coital bleeding is usually not directly caused by typical menstrual hormonal fluctuations. 3. You should be somewhat concerned, especially because of the ongoing discomfort during and after intercourse. It’s often a sign that should be checked out, especially with consistent symptoms. 4. These symptoms could indicate an infection, such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis, particularly because you mentioned itching and burning sensations. Some sexually transmitted infections can also present these symptoms, so it’s important to get checked if you haven’t already. 5. Pain and a burning sensation during sex could be related to several factors — it might be from vaginal dryness, mechanical irritation, or even an infection which demands more attention. It’s advisable to follow up with your gynecologist and mention any new or ongoing symptoms specifically. They might want to conduct further tests or evaluations to ensure there’s no underlying infection or other issue that needs treatment. Avoiding sex until the discomfort is resolved and using appropriate lubrication might help with the burning sensation, and staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support regular cycles.
