Question 1

My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.

Accepted Answer

I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.

Question 2

Hey, I'm really concerned about something. My friend had oral sex with her boyfriend, and now she's freaking out because she's missed her period. We're trying to figure out what could be going on. Does oral sex affect periods somehow? Could there be any other reasons she might be late? We're kinda stressed about this, so any insights would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Its understandable for your friend to be worried, but missing a period can happen due to various reasons like stress, hormonal changes, or other health factors. If shes concerned about pregnancy, even though oral sex typically doesnt lead to pregnancy, it might be helpful for her to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

Question 3

I recently had unprotected sex and needed an emergency pill, but I couldn't find i pill or Unwanted 72 in Hyderabad. Are these pills banned everywhere now? The pharmacist offered me something called i doz 72 instead. Is this the same thing as the others? Is it safe to take?

Accepted Answer

i-Pill and Unwanted-72 are not banned in India, but availability issues may occur; i-Doz 72, containing levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an alternative emergency contraceptive pill, considered safe and effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, with similar efficacy to i-Pill and Unwanted-72.

Does the period cycle change due to the weather change?

No
