I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

I'm wondering if it's safe for a mom who's breastfeeding to take deworming medication just five days after childbirth? Is there any potential risk to the baby, or should she wait a bit longer before doing this? Any advice would be really helpful!

Yes.

I've been taking Susten 400 twice a day since my IUI on July 5th, as my doctor suggested doing it for 15 days. But now it's day 11, and I'm having all these period symptoms. Do you think I should stop taking Susten, or is this normal? I'm just a bit worried and unsure about what to do next.

It is important to continue using Susten as prescribed by your doctor to support the early stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to complete the full course of medication unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
