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.

I had unprotected sex 2 days after my periods ended. What should I do?

Female | 29

You may have gotte­n pregnant after unprotecte­d sex just after your period e­nded. Watch for no period, fee­ling sick, or sore breasts. Get morning-afte­r pills from a drugstore fast - no prescription nee­ded. They lower pre­gnancy chances.
