Question 1

I had unprotected sex at the end of May and took an i-pill within a day. I had some bleeding after that on the 6th of June, but my period was supposed to come around the 11th and it hasnt yet. My breasts feel tender now. When should I expect my period to come? I'm worried about whats happening.

Accepted Answer

After taking the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) and experiencing withdrawal bleeding, it's common for menstrual cycles to be disrupted; considering your periods were due on June 11th, you can expect them to arrive anytime between now and 4-6 weeks from the date of withdrawal bleeding, so wait and watch for another 2-4 weeks, and if still no periods, take a pregnancy tes

Widal Test Report Interpretation

_Positive Result_:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

1. _Salmonella Typhi O (1:160)_: Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.
2. _Salmonella Typhi H (1:40)_: Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.

_Impression: Positive (+ve)_

This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.

_Dietary Recommendations_:

During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:

1. _Fluids_: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.
2. _Bananas_: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.
3. _Rice_: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.
4. _Applesauce_: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.
5. _Lean proteins_: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.
6. _Avoid spicy and fatty foods_: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.
