I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

View allI'm kind of worried because my friend had unprotected sex with her boyfriend yesterday around 5 pm. Here's what's making her nervous her boyfriend masturbated and ejaculated first, and then just a few minutes later, like 3 to 5 minutes, they had sex. He wiped off his penis with a cloth before they did it, and this time he didnt ejaculate during or after sex. But she's freaked out there could be a chance of getting pregnant because of potential pre-cum. She's debating whether she should take the i-pill, but isn't sure if it's necessary. If she does take it, what should she expect in terms of side effects? It's her first time dealing with all this.

My wife's in her 6th month of pregnancy and she's been having some issues like vomiting, a cold, runny nose, and headaches. We went to a gynecologist who prescribed some meds like azithromycin, Sinarest, and Ascoril D Plus syrup. We even did a COVID test and it was negative. I'm just really concerned if these tablets are safe during pregnancy, especially since she's at 24 weeks now. Are there any possible side effects on the baby from these medications?
Possible HIV Exposure and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) *Assessment of Risk* 1. *Condom use*: You used a condom, which significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission. 2. *Condom breakage*: Although the condom remained inside, the risk of transmission is still relatively low. *Laboratory Test Results* 1. *Negative result*: Your HIV test result is negative, which is reassuring. *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)* 1. *PEP eligibility*: PEP is typically recommended within 72 hours of potential exposure. 2. *PEP effectiveness*: PEP can reduce the risk of HIV infection if started promptly. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine if PEP is necessary. *Next Steps* 1. *Schedule a follow-up test*: Repeat the HIV test after the window period (typically 3-6 months) to confirm the negative result. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Continue using condoms correctly to minimize the risk of future exposures. 3. *Seek counseling*: Consider counseling to address any emotional concerns or questions you may have.
