Tampons and menstrual cups are both considered safe for use. The concern about the hymen is common, but many individuals who use these products do not experience any issues. The hymen can stretch without causing pain or significant change. If you're feeling unsure, start with a small tampon size or a beginner-friendly cup. Ensure you're relaxed and use plenty of water-based lubricants if needed. If worries persist, consult your gynecologist for personalized advice and reassurance.

Dr was told to go to the hospital tomorrow to take the medical abortion pill. Can I eat pineapple immediately after that?

Female | 26

Its better to avoid eating anything immediately after taking the medical abortion pill, as you may experience common side effects nausea and vomiting. Its best to wait at least a few hours before eating anything. Still if you do feel the need to eat something, try to stick to bland food, easy to digest like crackers or toast.

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.
