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 really young and feeling awkward about my large breasts. I'm looking for some advice on creams or treatments to reduce their size. I came across this VLCC firming cream, but I'm hesitant to try it because I'm worried about potential side effects. Since I'm unmarried, surgery isn't really an option for me. Could you suggest anything?
For breast reduction without surgery, consider consulting a general surgeon for personalized advice; some herbal and natural remedies like saw palmetto, turmeric, or ginger may help, but their effectiveness is largely anecdotal; as for creams, VLCC's breast firming cream may help with toning, but its effectiveness for reduction is uncertain, and be cautious of potential side effects like skin irritation or allergic reactions.

I'm a bit concerned because I started bleeding for about 5 days after a dilation and curettage, then it stopped for 3 days, but now it's started again, and the bleeding is brown. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?
Bleeding 5 days after a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is common, and the subsequent stoppage for 3 days followed by brown-colored bleeding could be due to hormonal changes, uterine lining shedding, or minor spotting
