I'm really worried about something that happened with my friend. Her boyfriend fingered her, and she's freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. They aren't sure if there might have been anything on his fingers. Can you explain if pregnancy is possible from fingering in this situation?

It is highly unlikely that pregnancy would occur from fingering, as sperm would need to be directly introduced into the vagina for fertilization to happen. However, if there is a possibility that semen was on the fingers and they were introduced into the vagina, it's still a very low risk, but I would recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for further reassurance and guidance.

I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected intercourse a while back, but I've had two periods since then. Does having my periods mean that there's no chance of being pregnant, or should I still be concerned?

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and would prefer not to have a surgical abortion. I'm thinking about taking the abortion pill, but not sure how to go about it correctly. Could you guide me on how to take the tablets?

You should consult a gynecologist and opt for medical termination of pregnancy. You will be prescribed an MTP kit, or Mefrin Kit.

I've been diagnosed with a few myoma tumors in my uterus and I'm really worried is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can explore? I'd love to understand my choices better

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that destroys fibroids while preserving the normal uterus. Focused high-frequency, high-energy sound waves are used to target the proteins in fibroids, until they are destroyed.
