Could Unripe Papaya Prevent Pregnancy After Unprotected Sex?
Yesterday I had unprotected sex and my periods are 7 days to come my period date is 24 march so may I get pregnant I don't want this pregnant so I ate unripe papaya and ajwain water as well

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 21st Mar '25
Unprotected intercourse does pose a risk for pregnancy, particularly around your ovulation cycle. Eating unripe papaya and drinking ajwain water are traditional remedies, but their effectiveness in preventing pregnancy isn't scientifically supported. If you're concerned about potential pregnancy, consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours, which is more reliable. Monitoring your menstrual symptoms, such as changes in mood or breast tenderness, can also provide insights. It's advisable to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and to explore your options.

I am getting prolonged period after c section delivery in November in this month I am getting periods from 15 days I am taking contraceptive pills since 8 days
Female | 29
The body undergoes changes after a cesarean delivery. Your menstrual cycle may become irregular. A prolonged period can occur due to hormonal fluctuations or physical stress. Using birth control pills initially disrupts your cycle. Monitor your symptoms carefully. If they persist or worsen, consult your gynecologist.

How common are external hemorrhoids or piles postpartum?
Female | 23
External hemorrhoids or piles can occur during or after pregnancy due to the increased pressure on the rectal veins and hormonal changes. Hemorrhoids often improve with time and self-care measures such as a high-fiber diet, hydration, and creams.

My last period at Apr 8 but I still didn't get date but today I have taken pregnancy test..it's positive but I don't have any symptoms...is it safe pregnancy or not
Female | 26
A positive pregnancy test indicates that you are pregnant. Not everyone experiences the same pregnancy symptoms, and some people might not have noticeable symptoms early on. So lack of symptoms doesn't necessarily mean an unsafe pregnancy, you need to consult a gynecologist for confirmation

I am 19 years old, I am having pain in the stomach since last week, there is pain in the breast or between the breasts and also in the shoulders, there is pain in the lower back or in the lower part of the stomach like a needle prick or right side and sometimes the whole stomach hurts intermittently. I have not yet had any relation with anyone nor have had sex, I have only masturbated, so are these all symptoms of pregnancy or is it something else?
Female | 19
Even without sexual contact, tummy troubles, sore breasts, and backaches happen. Indigestion, muscle strain, or stress often cause such discomfort. Drink plenty of water. Eat nutritious foods. Get enough rest. If pains persist, talk to a gynecologist. They'll provide guidance.

Female | 31
Following a C-section, it's common for the discharge to be due to hormonal changes and the body healing. The discharge can be of the watery type due to breastfeeding. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in your vaginal area. For the ease of comfort, use a panty liner. If the discharge doesn't go away, visit a gynecologist for more tests.

Female | 20
It's unlikely you got pregnant after taking Unwanted 72 quickly. Your period is delayed because the emergency pill can affect your cycle. Also, stress and hormone changes can delay periods. You should wait a bit longer for your period to come back normally. If you're still worried, see a gynecologist.

Female | 25
If you are experiencing excessive blood loss or other related symptoms, it can be that you are also having fibroids or hormonal imbalances. You may start by following these steps: eating well, managing stress, and timing your cycles. Nevertheless, it is necessary to speak to a gynecologist for a thorough check and accurate recommendations. They would be able to diagnose your health problem and mention treatment opportunities. Don't give up, you're not alone; sharing your feelings and asking for assistance will help you to become a better person.

Good day! I have had spotting / breakthrough bleeding for 11 days now. Much less bleeding than a normal period, but still bleeding. Will Tranexamic acid stop the bleeding ?
Female | 24
It is rather typical to notice spotting or bleeding between periods sometimes. In some cases, it can be a result of hormonal changes or stress. Tranexamic acid can help to curb the bleeding by making the blood clot better. Consult with a gynecologist before using any new medication. Stay hydrated, get rest, and watch for your symptoms.

I was pregnant knowing this I took abortion pill but abortion was brown spotting some times no complete bleed after i have checked pregnancy kit it's showing positive
Female | 18
You may have experienced an incomplete abortion, meaning some pregnancy tissue remains in your body. Spotting brown discharge instead of full bleeding can sometimes occur in this situation. This indicates not all pregnancy tissue was expelled from your uterus. Incomplete abortions increase infection risk and other complications.

Female | 13
A period of two weeks is not what usually happens. There could be a few easy reasons: stress, body weight changes, or a health problem like polycystic ovary syndrome. During this time, drink lots of water, eat healthy foods, and get good rest. If the long period keeps happening, see a gynecologist.

Stress, weight fluctuations, and hormonal imbalance are some of the factors that can cause a delay in your period. As you had protected sex and your period is late only by 10 days, it is unlikely you are pregnant.
