  1. Standard Dosage:

    • The usual dose for Ipill is a single 1.5 mg tablet taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
  2. Effectiveness and Safety:

    • Taking more than the recommended dose does not increase effectiveness and may increase side effects like nausea or irregular bleeding.
  3. Consult a Doctor:

    • If two pills are taken accidentally or if there's uncertainty about the dosage, consult a healthcare professional.
  4. Alternative Options:

    • For repeated emergency contraception within the same cycle, seek medical advice for safe options.

Always follow the prescribed guidelines for emergency contraception and consider regular contraceptive methods for ongoing protection. If unusual symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?

Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.

I'm 25 and just found out I have a dermoid cyst near my right ovary it's 10x7x9 cm. My doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options since I also have PCOD. What else can be done about this?

For your 10x7x9 cm dermoid cyst near your right ovary, while laparoscopic surgery is the most common approach, other options exist, especially considering your PCOD diagnosis. Watchful waiting with regular follow-up scans, hormonal contraceptives to reduce cyst formation, or surgical removal of the cyst alone (cystectomy) without removing the ovary (oophorectomy) are possibilities. Your doctor can help determine the best course of action based on your specific circumstances and preferences
