View allI'm a bit worried about my wife who's in her 7th week of pregnancy. She's been having a really tough time with vomiting and just can't seem to keep anything down. The doctor suggested she try Emeset 4mg, but after taking it, she's been feeling uncomfortable with some stomach pain and constipation. I looked it up online, and now I'm confused because there are mixed opinions about using it during pregnancy. Do you think it's safe for her to continue with this medication, or should we consider switching to something else?
Emeset (Ondansetron) can be used in pregnancy but should be done so under careful medical supervision. If she continues to experience discomfort, it's essential to contact her healthcare provider for possible medication adjustment or a safer alternative.

I'm 27 with two kids, my youngest is 4 and I'm thinking about permanent family planning options. What's the best surgical method for this? Will it be painful and how long should I plan to rest after the procedure?

Can STDs be cured?
Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.
