Can STDs be cured?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.

View allI'm around five weeks pregnant and started having cramps yesterday, followed by bleeding that feels like a period. I'm concerned because I also had some tissue-like clot discharge and the bleeding hasn't slowed down. Is this something I should be worried about? Could you help me understand what's happening?
The symptoms you're experiencing, including cramps, bleeding, and a tissue-like clot discharge, are concerning and may indicate a miscarriage; immediately consult your obstetrician or visit the emergency room for a thorough evaluation, including an ultrasound, to confirm the status of your pregnancy and receive appropriate guidance and care.

How many days after period can you not get pregnant?
You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.
