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.

I'm really confused about how to take the xamic mf 250500 that was prescribed to my sister. It says she needs to take it three times a day for five days in a month over three months, but we're not sure which five days that should be. Does it need to be during her periods or can it just be any random five days in the month? Would really appreciate some guidance on the exact timing.

its typically best to take Xamic MF 250500 during her period, ideally starting on the first day of heavy bleeding. However, she should double-check with her healthcare provider to make sure shes following the treatment plan as intended.

I've been taking nitrofurantoin and now I'm on my last day, but even though the painful urination has stopped, I'm starting to get this itchy feeling down there, and I've noticed three small cuts on the skin between my vagina and anus. Should I be worried about this? Is it a common side effect or something else?

-It sounds like you might be experiencing irritation or a mild infection, possibly related to the use of antibiotics like nitrofurantoin, which can sometimes disrupt the balance of bacteria. If the itching or cuts persist, it's a good idea to consult your
