Understanding the Hymen
- The hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. Its size and shape vary greatly among individuals.
-
Tampons and the Hymen
- Using tampons can stretch or tear the hymen, but it doesn't necessarily "break" it. This is a normal occurrence and varies per person.
-
Virginity and Tampon Use
- Virginity is a social concept, not defined by the state of the hymen. Using tampons does not equate to losing virginity.
-
Safety and Normalcy
- Tampon use is safe and normal when done correctly. Follow instructions for insertion and removal to avoid discomfort.
-
Proper Tampon Use
- Choose the right absorbency, change tampons every 4-8 hours, and relax during insertion to minimize discomfort.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?
rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm about 18 weeks pregnant right now and a bit worried. I had a D&C procedure just a couple of months before conceiving again and experienced a minor uterine prolapse after that. I already have a 3-year-old daughter who was a normal delivery. This time, they put me on Susten injections because of low progesterone for the first three months, and now I'm on weekly Prolin injections. A few days back, I noticed a drop of blood after urinating, and my doctor immediately started me on Duvadilan retard 40mg and the antibiotic Forcef. My CRP level is quite high at 10, but there doesn't seem to be any urine infection. I'm really anxiousare these medicines safe to take during pregnancy?
