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've been having some issues with my breast size and was looking for solutions online. I came across a medicine called HR 49 in a YouTube video. Can you tell me more about this medicine? Is it something that's safe to use? I'm really curious to know if it could help or if I should be concerned about any side effects.

This is a homeopathic medicine which claims to be helpful in cases of underdeveloped mammary glands. There is insufficient information or study conducted upon this drug. It is preferable to not use any medication without a proper doctor's advice or recommendation.
