I'm having a bit of an issue. After having sex, like a day or two later, I start feeling this burning sensation down there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Can you help me understand what might be causing this and any advice on what I can do to feel better?

I've had left hydrosalpinx for the past 3 years after my right tube and ovary were removed. My periods are regular do I need surgery for this or can I leave it alone? Could leaving it untreated cause any harm?

While having regular periods after a hydrosalpinx is a good sign, it's crucial to understand the potential impact of the condition on fertility. Depending on your goals and circumstances, treatment might be recommended. Leaving hydrosalpinx untreated can decrease the chances of conceiving naturally and increase the risk of complications like ectopic pregnancy

I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.
