Should i still need to take emergency contraceptive after taking the 1st dose before 24hrs and 2nd dose 12hrs after

Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Yes, it is imperative to follow the prescription for the evening after pill, even when it is taken during the first 24 hours after sex and the second one after 12 hours, respectively. I suggest seeking help and support from your gynecologist first if you have any uncertainty about emergency contraception methods.

Will ipill work after 8 days of unprotected sex?
Female | 21
The I-pill sounds like it could be used as emergency contraception, but you really should take a pregnancy test. This is the deal: It works best within 72 hours and becomes less effective over time. Eight days later, its capability is minimal. Preventive medicine is always better than a cure - if you are anxious about pregnancy results then consult with a gynecologist for more help!

Mastrubate on uppeelips of vagina not in vagina Can this cause any nerve damage? And can the hymen be broken only by masturbating on the upper lips? Only use finger.leaving me masturbating It's been almost 2 years .so now i'm married So, will masturbation have any effect on my married life??Will my body be repaired in 2 years? And masturbation does not cause infertility issues. ???
Female | 22
Masturbating on the outer part of the vagina, the upper lips do not cause nerve damage or break the hymen. Masturbation is a normal and safe activity that does not interfere with your marriage or fertility. The body naturally heals itself, so any leftovers from old habits should not be a concern for you now.

Last month my period date was 25feb this month till now I have not period and my pregnancy test is also negative.
Female | 24
Your period being late is an ordinary occurrence! There are times when stress and routine changes disrupt the cycle. If your pregnancy test turns negative without other symptoms, don't fret - it's likely normal. Wait a couple more weeks; if your period still hasn't arrived by then, consulting a gynecologist might be wise.

My vagina and the discharge is smelling like rotten or spoiled aloevera
Female | 21
A person's body should throw off anything that is infecting. A notable sign is any concomitant itching or pain. Gynecologists can tell when bacteria are causing the problem. Most probably tests will be needed, and the results will be discussed with you. Your concern will also be addressed and your health status will be made sure of.

I have bleeding after 10 days of my periods and having cramps and dizziness
Female | 22
Experiencing bleeding after your cycle along with cramps and dizziness can be concerning. This might result from hormonal fluctuations, stress, or underlying conditions. While some mild causes may resolve on their own, it's essential to monitor your symptoms closely. I recommend keeping a record of your cycle and any additional signs you may notice. Ensure you stay hydrated and consider resting if you're feeling weak. However, it's important to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate care tailored to your situation.

I had laporatomy surgery for ileum herniation in 2013 and i have a vertical midline incision in this surgery. Now is it safe to become a pregnant
Female | 25
A laparotomy surgery is a procedure used for the repair of an ileum hernia. Therefore, the situation when a woman who has had surgery of this nature becomes pregnant is not entirely clear. However, the vertical midline incision from your surgery may cause some complications during pregnancy, such as the risk of the incision opening up. You should bring up the subject of conceiving a child with your gynecologist so that they can track you and advise you during the period.

Vaginal itching,soreness, discharge
Female | 26
If you have symptoms like itching, soreness, and a different kind of secretion, it could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. These viral infections can occur when there are too few beneficial bacteria in the vagina. Avoid using scented products in that area and wear cotton underwear to stay cool and comfortable. You can get over-the-counter yeast infection treatments but for bacterial infections, you need to see a gynecologist for antibiotics.

Wednesday i have take iui. And progesterone tablets. But after 6, 7,8 th days bleeding seen. Is it period? Or implanatation?
Female | 28
A little bit of bleeding on the 6th to 8th days can feel puzzling. Maybe it is the start of your period but some women experience implantation bleeding around this time if they are trying to get pregnant. Look out for other signs such as cramps or changes in colour. If in doubt, you should speak with your gynecologist so that they can explain things more clearly and tell you what to do next.

How to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse (30-40 hours gone)
Female | 27
If you’ve had unprotected intercourse and are concerned about conception, you may consider emergency contraception, which is effective within 72 hours. Options include hormonal pills available at pharmacies. These can alter your menstrual cycle temporarily. Common side effects might include nausea, fatigue, or changes in your period. It's important to remember that these methods are not 100% effective. I encourage you to consult with a gynecologist for personalized advice and to discuss any ongoing concerns.

My boyfriend and i had unprotected sex, and i missed my period last month and this month as well, but i did pregnancy test and it came out negative 4 times, i don’t know what’s happening
Male | 20
Despite taking four pregnancy tests that came out negative, it's still possible that the tests were taken too early or there could be other factors affecting your menstrual cycle, like stress or hormonal imbalances. It's best to consult a gynecologist for proper guidance and conduct a blood test for pregnancy.

Female | 18
Skin colour changes usually happen during pregnancy, but hormonal changes can also cause it. Using regular birth control consistently prevents pregnancy. If concerned, take a pregnancy test or visit a gynecologist for guidance.

I'm 24yrs old female with vaginal burning sensation for days Urinalysis is 25-50 pus cells, mucus thread few, protein trace
Female | 24
The urine test result shows the presence of some pus cells with a few strands of mucus and a little protein. This may be due to a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are responsible for not only the burning but also frequent urination and cloudy urine. Drinking plenty of water, and following antibiotic therapy prescribed by a gynecologist can help. Also, always keep in mind to keep good hygiene habits to prevent UTIs in the future.

I have missed my period .
Female | 20
It is a common thing for girls to skip their periods now and then. There can be many reasons for this; it might be due to stress, weight fluctuations, or even hormonal imbalances during the teenage period. Other causes are thyroid problems or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If you are sexually active, pregnancy may also be the reason. If the doctor is unsure, take a pregnancy test or talk to a parent or guardian about visiting a gynecologist to be sure.

Female | 17
If your period is lost, you may be pregnant, but that is not a definite diagnosis. The emergency pill worked out well in your favor, however, it may cause your period to be late. A home pregnancy test can give you the clarity you need. If it is positive, be aware that if you see a gynecologist, they will offer you a few solutions and tell you what to do next.

Had sex on 11 day after period, I pill taken after 23 hours, 11 days to go their is no periods
Female | 20
It’s fine if your period is late after taking Plan B because it messes with your cycle. Some symptoms like spotting, feeling sick, or changes in the timing of your menstrual cycle are pretty normal too. Remember that stress may also cause a delay in your period so try not to worry too much about it. Everything should return to normal soon enough. If not though, then maybe think about getting a pregnancy test.
