Safety and Usage
Taking two doses of Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg in one week is generally safe for healthy women, including those aged 25. However, it's meant for occasional use, not regular contraception. -
Effectiveness and Side Effects
- Effectiveness: Frequent use may reduce effectiveness and cause menstrual irregularities.
- Side Effects: Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, or changes in your period, which are usually temporary.
-
Consultation and Advice
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: If frequent use is needed, discuss more reliable contraceptive options with a healthcare professional.
- When to Seek Medical Advice: Consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or if your period is over a week late.
In summary, while taking two emergency contraceptive pills in one week is not typically harmful, consider regular contraception methods for ongoing protection. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.

View allMy wife is about 8 weeks into her pregnancy, and her gynecologist has prescribed Strone 200 for vaginal use. The thing is, shes having a tough time inserting the soft gel vaginally. We're wondering if she could take it orally instead? Or maybe there's another progesterone tablet out there that's suitable for oral intake?
Strone 200, a natural micronized progesterone, is typically administered vaginally, but if your wife experiences difficulties, consult her gynecologist about alternative options, such as oral progesterone supplements like Duphaston (dydrogesterone) or Naturogest (micronized progesterone), but do not switch or take any medication without consulting

I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?
You should go for HYSTEROSCOPIC removal of polyp and endometrial biopsy for further evaluation as it is showing endometrial hyperplasia You should do your beta HCG measurement also
