I'm wondering if it's okay for my friend to start using Femilon, especially since she's taken emergency contraceptive pills like i-Pill and Unwanted 72 three times in the last four months. I'm curious about any side effects she might experience with Femilon, and I'm also worried if there could be any long-term issues like infertility. Whats your take on this?

Common side effects of Femilon include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, weight changes, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. It is generally safe to use Femilon after using emergency contraceptive pills multiple times. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Regarding long-term effects like infertility, there is no evidence to suggest that using Femilon will lead to infertility. However, prolonged and frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills is not recommended as they are intended for emergency use only. It is advisable for your friend to discuss her contraceptive options with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable method for her.

I've been having lower abdomen pain and my USG and CT scan showed endometriosis and likely adenomyosis. The doctor suggested surgery but I'm unsure since I've been married for 5 years with no child yet. I take Droton DS for pain relief but I'm worried about what to do next. Can you advise if surgery is the best option or are there other treatments to consider first?

Surgery is one option for endometriosis and adenomyosis, but fertility-focused medical management may be considered first‚Äîconsult a gynecologist for tailored guidance.
