  5. I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis

I've been doing this every day for about 6 years now, and I'm starting to worry about how it's affecting my sex life. Do you have any advice on how I can cut back on this habit?

Understand the Root Cause: Reflect on why you're engaging in this behavior. Is it due to stress, boredom, loneliness, or another underlying issue? Understanding the triggers can help you address them more effectively. Set Healthy Boundaries: Gradually reduce the frequency of the behavior. If you're engaging in it daily, you could try reducing it to every other day, then every few days, until you reach a frequency you're comfortable with. Develop other healthy habits: Engage in activities like exercise, hobbies, reading, or socializing to redirect your energy into positive outlets. Mindful Sex Practices: Practicing mindfulness during sexual activity can help you be more present with your partner, enhance emotional connection, and improve overall satisfaction. Incorporate Stress-Relieving Practices: Exercise: Regular physical activity can reduce stress, anxiety, and excess energy, which might otherwise contribute to habitual behaviors. Meditation or Breathing Exercises: These can help you manage urges and develop a greater sense of self-control. Therapy: If you're feeling guilty or conflicted about your sexual habits, speaking with a therapist or counselor (especially one experienced in sexual health or addiction) can provide valuable support. Seek Professional Help: If you're finding it difficult to reduce or control the behavior, a sexual health professional, therapist, or counselor can provide specific strategies and support.
