If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.

Question

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?

Question

I'm really worried because I have a white liquid discharge coming from one of my breasts when I squeeze my nipple, but it's not happening in my other breast. The fact that it's only on one side is making me anxious. I've been dealing with a viral fever for a week and have been taking different tablets, but nothing seems to help much. Could the discharge be a side effect of the medications? I've also been constipated for four days. I'm really concerned about whether this could be cancer. My breasts have always been a bit hard and small, unlike others, but they've been that way for as long as I can remember. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about cancer or something else?

Question

I'm 28 and still a virgin, but I'm worried about something. Is it possible for my vagina to become loose just because I'm getting older? I've heard that vaginas can get loose with age, and I'm wondering if this is true. Can you help clarify this for me?
