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.

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.

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.

I got late period for 10 days.my last period was on August 12 .had sex on August 11 and September 17 and 18 using condom.why I am getting my period late.is it due to pregnancy

Female | 24

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.
