Question 1

I'm curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PCOS can cause scanty periods. Reduced estrogen levels, thinning of the uterine lining, and increased androgen levels can contribute to lighter, shorter periods.

Other possible causes include:

- Hormonal imbalance
- Ovulation issues
- Insulin resistance
- Stress
- Weight changes

Question 2

I'm a bit worried and hoping you can help. On the 5th day of my period, is there a chance I could get pregnant? My menstrual cycle usually lasts around 28 to 30 days. Also, is it okay to have sex while I'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

It is unlikely to get pregnant on the 5th day of your period, especially if your menstrual cycle lasts for 28-30 days. However, it is not impossible as sperm can survive in the body for up to 5 days. To be safe, you may consider using contraceptive methods if you are not planning for pregnancy. It is generally safe to have sex during periods, but the risk of pregnancy is still present. It is recommended to use protection to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Question 3

I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening with my husband. We're both younghe's 32 and I'm 21and we've been married for six months. For the first five months, everything was fine, and he was able to insert his penis into my vagina. But ...

Accepted Answer

Your husband may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend he consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, he can try using sildenafil (Viagra) before sexual activity to help with achieving and maintaining an erection. Remember to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the doctor.

Question 5

I'm in my second month of pregnancy, and yesterday I ate some papaya. My neighbors told me it could cause an abortion. I'm really worried about this. Is it true that eating papaya and pineapple can lead to a miscarriage?
