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 really worried about my 15-year-old daughter who has PCOS. She's been on Krimson 35 and Aldactone for 7 months and took Isotret 20 for 3 months. Her periods have become regular, and her pimples have cleared up, but she still has scars. I'm wondering if she can stop her medication now. If we stop Krimson 35, will her periods become irregular again?

I've been dealing with this issue for a while and I'm pretty confused about it. I'm 23 and my periods are either super light or almost nonexistent at times. Sometimes I'll just see a tiny bit of blood, and then nothing for the first few days, but then it starts up from the 4th day. It gets me pretty worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

Your irregular menstrual bleeding patterns, including delayed onset, reduced flow, or prolonged spotting, could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, stress, or weight fluctuations; consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation, pelvic exam, and potential ultrasound or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
