I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?

It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.

I'm 15 and I've been dealing with a weird vaginal odor for a while now. It sometimes smells fishy and other times kind of cheesy. I also have a white discharge, but it doesn't seem to have a bad smell. It's almost like the smell is just coming from my vagina itself. I've tried home remedies like teatree oil spray and bathing in vinegar, but nothing's worked. I've not been sexually active at all, and I dont get my period regularly either. I'm really worried about what could be causing this. What should I do?

I had sex with my boyfriend but now he's marrying someone else and I'm really upset. I want to move on and start fresh with a husband chosen by my parents. Is there any way to get my virginity back without surgery?

I took a misoprostol kit for abortion on June 3rd but my ultrasound on July 1st showed an 11x7 mm retained product of conception in the fundal region. Is it possible for this to pass naturally in my next period or are there any medications that can help besides surgery? Are there alternative treatments in Ayurveda or Homeopathy?

Small retained products of conception may pass naturally or with medicines. If unresolved, minor surgical evacuation may be needed.
