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.

I'm a bit worried because I notice that I bleed after having oral sex with myself. There's no pain, but I do start bleeding once I orgasm. The blood seems to be fresh. What could this mean?

I'm really worried because I had sex a couple of weeks ago and now I'm experiencing these sharp abdominal pains. Could this be related? Should I be concerned or do something specific about it?

Sharp abdominal pain after sex could be due to various reasons such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or even a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen and scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can also try using a heating pad on your abdomen for relief.

I have a large 17 cm fibroid in the fundus area of my uterus, coming from the posterior myometrium. It's causing pain on the left side of my abdomen, but no lower abdominal pain. My USG shows my uterus is 9.4 cm. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help with this?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for a large fibroid like yours, though surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) is often considered the most effective long-term solution. If you're looking to avoid surgery, options include medications to manage symptoms or address the fibroid itself
