Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I've been diabetic for 35 years and have managed it pretty well until now, but recently, I've started experiencing this sinking feeling and episodes of fainting and dizziness. I got an ECG done and it shows some blockage. Could this be related to my diabetes, and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Given your 35-year history of well-managed diabetes, the recent symptoms of sinking feeling, fainting, and dizziness, along with ECG indications of blockage, suggest a potential cardiovascular issue, such as coronary artery disease or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, so consult a cardiologist to discuss further testing, like angiography or stress tests, and develop a plan to address the blockage and manage cardiovascular risk factors.

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention

_No Scientific Evidence_

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex.

_Papaya's Effect on Fertility_

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy.

_Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_

Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time.

_Reliable Contraception Methods_

To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as:

1. Condoms
2. Birth control pills
3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B)

_What to Do Next_

If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can:

1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks.
2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex).
3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.
