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.

I'm feeling pretty anxious right now and I need some advice. So, during sexual activity, the penis didn't actually go into the vagina but was rubbing around the opening a few times, and there was no protection used. I'm just really worried about the possibility of pregnancy from this. Can you help clarify whether this could actually happen?

My mom's uterus report says it's bulky and anteverted with heterogeneous myometrial echogenicity. Is it safe to delay surgery for a month or should we act sooner? What could this mean for her health?

If she has symptoms like pain or excess bleeding, she will definitely need treatment. There are couple of non surgical treatments as well. If you have been advised surgery, you can do it as soon as possible. 1 month wait is okay
