I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

I've taken abortion pills, and about 30 days after having sex, I started bleeding like my normal period. But then after 10 days, I had pain for 3 days, and the bleeding started again. Now it's been bleeding for more than 10 days. What should I do?

After taking abortion pills, experiencing bleeding for more than 10 days can be concerning. It is important to monitor the amount of bleeding and any associated symptoms. If the bleeding continues beyond 2 weeks or if you experience severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, please seek immediate medical attention.

I'm a bit worried because my boyfriend and I were having dry sex, and he ejaculated in his pants while he still had his underwear on. I noticed my shorts felt wet too, maybe from the semen. Should I be concerned about the chance of getting pregnant? And should I consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill? If I do, what might that do to my menstrual cycle or what side effects could it have?

if you are in 10th day to 20th day of your menstrual cycle , take ipill.

I'm currently dealing with food poisoning, and a friend recommended trying the O2 tablet. I'm five months pregnant, and I just want to make sure it's safe for me to take it.

No don't take it, ideally not adviced, visit Obstetrician for appropriate treatment, stay hydrated
