Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

First, repeated use of emergency pills results in hormonal disturbances, your repeated bleeding could be due to hormonal variations. Better to avoid emergency pill in future and use other methods. I usually prescribe 21 days pill , which should be taken regularly.
Once your hormonal levels becomes regular , bleeding will get regularised.

Repeated UTI , get your urine test done and ultrasound to check for any stones. Need to take complete course of antibiotics and after the course need to confirm with urine test for adequate treatment . Have lot of fluid and maintain good hygiene.

Pain while inter course is could be from infection
Better you get examined by your doctor and get PAP test done

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.

Thanku doctor, for your advice. It really helped a lot. I just wanted to confirm, if you found any symptoms of me being pregnant. Also i would like to bring you in notice, that i recently had intercouse using a condom, i experienced gastric trouble and den a little bleeding, it did nt bleed for next few hours, dr was just normal mucus secretion, until night wen i got periods. Also before this, recently i had sex without a condom twice, for one i took the i pill, the other i forgot to, but since myperiods are occuring after evry 5-7days, i thought i m nt pregnant. Plus ryt now i have uti and periods both. Do u think i hv d chances of bng pregnant? I have become hell lazy, i have back ache n head ache, i tend to sleep more, but i am very lean, 35kgs only.

Gastric trouble is not related to condom use, it just incidental, Better to get Examined and PAP test done.

Brief Answer:
Blood pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for follow up query.

Pregnancy is very unlikely , just for your confirmation you can get pregnancy test. blood HCG TEST can be done during periods .

With your history hormonal disturbances is common cause for your presentation , we need to consider your history and correlate with symptoms. There will be many reasons but with your history , other causes are less likely .
