I'm curious about the possibility of using papaya for an abortion at home. Specifically, how many weeks into a pregnancy could this method be an option? I'm looking for some detailed guidance on this, as I'm trying to understand my options better.

Using papaya for abortion is not safe or recommended, as it can lead to severe complications such as infection, bleeding, or incomplete abortion. Abortion should only be performed under medical supervision within the legal time frame, typically up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, depending on the country. Please consult a healthcare professional for guidance and support.

It's super itchy sometimes, and I can definitely feel the swellingit hurts a lot. I always keep my whole body clean and wash my vagina every time I pee. I can't figure out why this is happening, and it's really scary. Can you help me understand what's going on?

A swollen and painful area near the clitoris, accompanied by itching, in the absence of bleeding or sexual activity, could be caused by various factors such as a Bartholin's cyst, ingrown hair, vaginal infections like vulvovaginitis, or other conditions like herpes or eczema, so it's essential to consult a gynecologis
