I had sex on April 28 around 11 pm and I think the condom broke because I heard a popping sound. So I took Plan B the next day, April 29, at 10 pm. I had just finished my last period on April 27, and my flow chart says I'm supposed to start ovulating 7 days after taking the emergency pill. Will Plan B still be effective if I ovulate 7 days later? I'm also having some minor side effects like pelvic pain on the left sideis that normal?

Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can work by preventing or delaying ovulation. Taking Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex is more effective than taking it later. As for the pelvic pain from the left side, it is not a common side effect of Plan B. However, some women may experience abdominal pain or cramping as a side effect. If the pain is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's in a lot of pain in her abdomen and her menstrual bleeding is pretty heavy. Her hemoglobin level came back at 7.8 gm, which seems low. The sonography shows a bulky uterus. What could be causing all these symptoms? Do you think she might need surgery, or could it be treated with medication?
Can be indicative of conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of fibroids or adenomyosis, medications such as Tranexamic acid can help with heavy menstrual bleeding. For pain relief, your mother can take Ibuprofen. If the symptoms are severe and affecting her quality of life, surgery may be considered. It is important to consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
