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 allIs it okay to take Cobadex Forte during pregnancy? My wife is six months pregnant and we just switched her doctor today. Before, she was taking Uprise XT and Aaa calcium pills. Could you guide us on the right time she should take this medicine? We're a bit concerned about making sure everything is safe for her and the baby.
Cobadex Forte is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to use it only under the guidance of a doctor. It's best taken after meals to improve absorption and reduce any potential stomach upset. Since your wife is 6 months pregnant, it's important to follow her new doctor's recommendations for any changes in supplements.

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?
You can take it no problem.
