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 currently pregnant and I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and a bit of a cold. I've heard that crocin or paracetamol can be taken to help with these symptoms, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guide me on whether that's safe or if there are specific precautions I should consider?

During pregnancy, Crocin (paracetamol) can generally be taken for fever and cold, as it is considered safe in moderation. However, it's important to consult your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your specific stage of pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dosage.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing itching in my vaginal area. It's been a month now, and I've tried taking itraconazole 200 mg, terbinafine 150, teczine, dazit, and flucos 150, but there hasn't been any improvement. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
