Sperm Survival: Sperm survival in menstrual blood is generally limited. The environment is not supportive for sperm viability.
-
Lifespan: Sperm can survive up to 5 days in optimal conditions, like fertile cervical mucus.
-
Menstrual Blood Environment: It is acidic and contains immune cells, reducing sperm viability.
-
Fertility Considerations: Pregnancy is possible if intercourse occurs near menstruation's end and ovulation follows soon after.

My wife's in her 6th month of pregnancy and she's been having some issues like vomiting, a cold, runny nose, and headaches. We went to a gynecologist who prescribed some meds like azithromycin, Sinarest, and Ascoril D Plus syrup. We even did a COVID test and it was negative. I'm just really concerned if these tablets are safe during pregnancy, especially since she's at 24 weeks now. Are there any possible side effects on the baby from these medications?
Possible HIV Exposure and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) *Assessment of Risk* 1. *Condom use*: You used a condom, which significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission. 2. *Condom breakage*: Although the condom remained inside, the risk of transmission is still relatively low. *Laboratory Test Results* 1. *Negative result*: Your HIV test result is negative, which is reassuring. *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)* 1. *PEP eligibility*: PEP is typically recommended within 72 hours of potential exposure. 2. *PEP effectiveness*: PEP can reduce the risk of HIV infection if started promptly. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Discuss your situation with a healthcare provider to determine if PEP is necessary. *Next Steps* 1. *Schedule a follow-up test*: Repeat the HIV test after the window period (typically 3-6 months) to confirm the negative result. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Continue using condoms correctly to minimize the risk of future exposures. 3. *Seek counseling*: Consider counseling to address any emotional concerns or questions you may have.

I've been dealing with PCOD and I'm a bit worried. My doctor initially put me on Diane 35, and while I was on it, my periods were regular. After stopping, I had one more regular cycle, but now I've missed two months. My doctor has prescribed duphaston 10mg for five days to try and trigger a period, and then Im supposed to go back on Diane 35 for another three months. Is this a normal plan? Should I be concerned about the missing periods or the medication? Just trying to figure out if this makes sense.
try to loose weight and maintain healthy life style to get regular periods and recomending not to use more than 6 months continusly
