What Causes Vaginal Discharge And Cramps After Menstruation?
Question: Please help, I am 23 years old female. I have some concerning symptoms. I had unprotected sex nine days before my period came and he did not come inside me and my period lasted four days and was heavy. I found it odd that I had hot flashes two days before my period but passed after first day of my menstruation. After a week and a half since my period ended I have been having vaginal discharge, dizziness, abdominal cramp, pelvic cramps and nausea which passes when I get something to eat and comes back several minutes after or even after two-three hours, and even some hot flashes again. I was wondering is it possible to be pregnant even though I had my period? Please note I did have history of pcos and it was treated after I had birth control pills for one year but stopped them cause of weight gain due to water retention. Thank you.
