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?

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.

View allI noticed some nabothian cysts on my cervix during a recent checkup and I'm a bit worried are these harmful or something to be concerned about Also is there any way to treat them with medication instead of surgery
Nabothian cysts are generally harmless, mucus-filled sacs on the cervix that do not typically require treatment and don't cause any health risks notes Apollo Hospitals. They are often found incidentally during routine gynecological exams and don't usually cause symptoms or require medication. However, if they become large, cause discomfort, or are suspected of being infected, medical evaluation and potentially treatment may be necessary

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.
Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.

I'm curious if there's any truth to the idea that you can follow a special diet during pregnancy to help ensure a fair-skinned baby. Can you help clarify if there's anything specific I should be doing or eating?
There is no such specific diet,as you are on healthy diet your baby will be healthy don't worry
