I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?

Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.

I'm really worried because my wife is 9 weeks pregnant and she's been dealing with a UTI. Her urine culture and sensitivity report confirmed it. Our gynecologist initially prescribed her Niftas 100mg twice a day for 10 days, but after 7 days we did another urine test and it still showed bacteria. The doctor now suggested Uriliser Stafcure cv 250mg and Pantop 40 for another week and then a follow-up urine test. We're both really concerned about the safety of these medicines during pregnancy. She's naturally hesitant to take meds right now and quite scared. Could you please advise us on what we should do?
It is important to treat UTI properly to prevent any complications. The medications prescribed by your gynecologist are considered safe during pregnancy. Uriliser helps to alleviate symptoms of UTI, Stafcure cv 250mg is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria causing the infection, and Pantop 40 helps to reduce stomach acid and prevent any gastric issues that may arise from the antibiotics. It is crucial for your wife to complete the full course of medication as prescribed to effectively clear the infection. UTIs can lead to more serious issues if left untreated, especially during pregnancy. Repeating the urine test after completing the course of these medications will help ensure that the infection has been successfully treated. Encourage your wife to follow the treatment plan as advised by the doctor for the health and safety of both her and the baby.

My CD4 count is 150 and I have a third-degree uterus prolapse. The local gynecologist mentioned surgery might be an option if my CD4 reaches 350. What can I do to improve my CD4 count quickly or are there other treatment options for the prolapse in my current condition
A CD4 count of 150 indicates a severely weakened immune system due to HIV, and a third-degree uterine prolapse requires management. The most effective way to improve your CD4 count is through consistent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, which can increase your CD4 count by 100-150 cells/mm3 within the first year. For the prolapse, while surgery is an option, non-surgical approaches like pelvic floor exercises, pessary use, or physical therapy may provide relief and improve your condition
