How Can I Prevent Pregnancy Before Missed Period?
I had unprotected sex 5 times continuously and it’s been a week and my periods date is in 4 days how do I prevent pregnancy if I don’t get my periods
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you had sex with no protection many times, you may worry about being pregnant. There is a choice called emergency birth control. It can stop pregnancy if you take it soon after unsafe sex. Some signs of pregnancy are no period, feeling sick, and being tired. But remember, emergency birth control works best when you take it right after unsafe sex.

Acne is red bumps on the skin. It is common for young people like you. Acne happens when skin makes lots of oil and gets blocked. Taking tretinoin tablets for a long time is not a good idea. It is better to find why the skin gets bumps. Maybe try new skin routines with dermatologist's help.

It seems like there is a worrying growth in your mid colon area. This growth is making the area swell up and push on your intestines. This can make them get bigger. It can also cause pain, bloating, and changes in how you poop. The best thing to do is to get more tests done. These tests will help figure out what is causing the growth. Then the right treatment can be decided.

Also told to use a cream called podophyllin cream , I will like to know how long the wart stays in the body and also if it doesn’t cause cancer or diseases like hiv or aids
Dermatologist

Small flesh bumps down there are caused by a virus called HPV. The virus can stay in your body for a long time. But medicine like podophyllin cream can treat the bumps. Your pharmacist will guide you on using the cream. The bumps do not cause cancer, HIV, or AIDS. But you may see small, flesh-colored bumps in your private parts. Be sure to follow the cream use instructions carefully. Keep using the cream until the bumps go away. If you have more worries or questions, talk to a dermatologist.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.
General Physician

It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you had sex one day after your period was due, it doesn't imply pregnancy automatically. Tiredness, breast enlargement, and feeling sick are some of the symptoms. Have a pregnancy test done to ascertain whether or not you are pregnant? It is crucial to use protection while having sex to stay healthy and avoid pregnancy.

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Pairing up acetaminophen and alcohol can have dire consequences, you know. Such a combination might hinder the body's processing of acetaminophen. Eventually, you may end up suffering from liver complications, thanks to alcohol. Puking, headaches, and stomach pains are what you should watch out for if you suspect an overdose.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Pain in your vagina, after your boyfriend touched it with his finger, could be due to irritation or a small tear. The pre-ejaculate fluid he had on his hand doesn’t typically contain sperm but still can carry some risk of pregnancy or infection. It’s important to always practice safe behaviors and consider using protection to prevent any unwanted outcomes.

You might have symptoms of a disorder called endometriosis. What endometriosis means is the fact that a similar to your uterus lining tissue, has started to grow outside of this organ. Also, a person with endometriosis may feel pain during their periods, have a really heavy flow, or even notice that they pass clots often. Try using a warm water bottle on your stomach area, taking some painkillers, and consulting a gynecologist about treatment options.

Why does cervix ectropion cause lasting post-intercourse pain?
Pain after intercourse lasts for weeks....I got cervix ectrpion. My last pap smear result is: Benign-looking squamous epithelial cells admixed with benign looking endocervical cells and a few acute inflammatory cells.
Gynecologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Pain lasting weeks post-sex (esp cervical excision) is worrying. Looking at your pap results, seems there are ordinary cells plus little inflammation; all could cause this discomfort. Ensure follow-up by visiting your gynecologist for more checks and care. They'll guide you through finding the most suitable solution for your case.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Stressing about the clots, similar to gel, appearing when you’re on your period could happen as a result of hormonal changes or low blood flow. The weakness, dizziness, abdominal, back, or chest pain, and cough you feel can be associated with your menstrual cycle. All you need to do to feel better is find a comfortable position, rest, drink enough water, and use warm packs. Please visit a gynecologist if these signs continue affecting you.

Can Hypothyroidism with High TSH be Cured at 23?
i just want to ask about if my hypothyroidism problem can be cured as most of the time i have high value of TSH and also have symptoms like irregular periods, brittle nails and excessive hair loss. I'm a female of 23, i have hypothyroidism issue since i was 15.
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
It seems like you might suffer from hypothyroidism, where your thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. This can result in high TSH levels as well as symptoms such as irregular periods, weak nails, and hair loss. Normally, hypothyroidism entails long-term treatment with thyroid hormone medications to help control its signs. You should continually see a doctor who'll watch out for your thyroid levels and modify the treatment when necessary.
