I'm trying to figure out when it's safe to have sex without using a condom and not risk getting pregnant. Can you help me understand which days would be safest for this?

To avoid pregnancy without using a condom, it's important to track your ovulation cycle. Generally, the safest days for unprotected sex are during the non-fertile window of your menstrual cycle, which is typically a few days after your period ends or just before ovulation starts. However, I strongly recommend discussing contraception options with a healthcare provider to ensure you are fully protected and informed.

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever between 102 and 104. I've been taking Dolo 650 three times a day to bring it down, but the fever keeps coming back with a lot of shivering. I delivered about six weeks ago and had an episiotomy, and I'm still dealing with a lot of stitches pain. Is taking Dolo 650 six times in two days too much? I'm also having a lot of lower back pain, back pain, headache, and neck nerve pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Seems like you are experiencing postpartum fever and pain after episiotomy. The fever may be due to an infection related to the delivery. I recommend you to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can continue taking Dolo 650 for fever, but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between PCO and PCOS because I've been reading about both and it's a bit confusing. Can you explain how they're different from each other? I'm also curious about the symptoms for each one and what kind of treatments are usually recommended for them. I've been experiencing some irregular cycles and want to know if it's related to either of these. Can you help me understand this better?

PCO (Polycystic Ovaries) refers to ovarian cysts, while PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder characterized by PCO, irregular periods, and hyperandrogenism, with symptoms including acne, excess hair growth, weight gain, and infertility; treatments include birth control pills, fertility medications, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle changes, with PCOS requiring additional treatments like metformin and surgery in some cases.

I'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?

Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.
