Yes, you can spread Group B strep to a newborn. It's important to follow proper hygiene procedures, such as washing your hands and wearing gloves when handling the baby. Inform the medical staff of your test results and take any prescribed antibiotics as directed.

Female | 21

4 months of missed periods at 21 years old is abnormal. All these appear to be connected with weight loss, hair fall and stress. Set up an appointment with a doctor to review possible causes and possible treatment.

I want to know if my hymen is still intact

Female | 17

I suggest that you make an appointment to see a gynecologist who will be able to look at your hymen and tell if it is intact or not. However, it is important to remember that the presence or absence of a hymen is not the only factor in determining virginity since several factors can lead to the hymen tearing or not being present.

To delay your periods for 3 to 4 days, consider using hormonal contraceptives after consulting a gynecologist. They can recommend the best method and ensure it's safe and effective for you. Follow their guidance to regulate your menstrual cycle accordingly.
