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.

Hey, I'm really concerned about something. My friend had oral sex with her boyfriend, and now she's freaking out because she's missed her period. We're trying to figure out what could be going on. Does oral sex affect periods somehow? Could there be any other reasons she might be late? We're kinda stressed about this, so any insights would be really helpful.

Its understandable for your friend to be worried, but missing a period can happen due to various reasons like stress, hormonal changes, or other health factors. If shes concerned about pregnancy, even though oral sex typically doesnt lead to pregnancy, it might be helpful for her to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.

Yes, generally, stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a good chance of passing through the urinary tract on their own, and medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like tamsulosin, an alpha blocker, can significantly increase the likelihood of successful passage
