If you engage in unprotected sex and you have a fear of getting STDs, you need to be examined now. It is possible that even though you are on PrEP and you have consumed Doxypep after the encounter you may still contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is advisable to see a gynecologist, or a urologist for your test, and a future plan on how to protect yourself.

I'm 19 years old, female and I had ascites last year November 2023 , my periods stop when I started getting sick with ascites and low blood pressure, I lost weight and my periods stop too , what can I do and what is the problem with my body

Female | 19

Ascites is a condition in which fluid builds up in your abdomen, leading to swelling. In this case, your body felt under pressure, which was the prime reason for both hypotension and anorexia. They can be triggers for periods. Therefore, it will be efficient for a doctor to see you first before discovering changes in your ascites and periods.

I got my period after 2days of unprotected intercourse and it's been a week and there is no symptoms

Female | 15

It's normal for your period to be late after unprotected intercourse, as the body sometimes reacts this way. It's common not to show any symptoms for a week. Pregnancy symptoms might appear later. Stress or changes in your routine can also delay your period. If you're concerned, taking a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks can give you a clearer answer.

I used the pregnancy test kit and it was positive. My last periods was on 29th March and I had taken unwanted kit on 2nd may. On 4th may, I had taken two tablets of misoprostol, I got a severe pain, bleeding and vomiting. But after an hour , bleeding was in spots and cramps continued. After 8 hours, I had taken other 2 pills , bleeding almost stopped and no sign of cramps. Is the abortion done?

Female | 21

Looks like you went through a medication abortion. Common side effects include terrible pain bleeding and vomiting. You may have completed the operation if the bleeding is stopping and you no longer feel any cramps after taking the second set of pills. It is important to go back to the health facility after your abortion and get everything right.

My periods is delaying My last periods was on august 20

Female | 27



There are a variety of factors that can cause a delay in menstruation. STRESS, WEIGHT, and PCOS are all common. PREGNANCY or menopause are also possible explanations for a late period. If you are SEXUALLY ACTIVE, it is recommended that you take a pregnancy test. Otherwise, it may be best to simply WAIT IT OUT. If your period still hasn't arrived after a month, it's time to CONSULT A DOCTOR.
