Understanding Twin Conception
- Twins can occur naturally as fraternal (dizygotic) or identical (monozygotic). Fraternal twins result from two separate eggs being fertilized, while identical twins come from one egg splitting.
-
Factors Influencing Natural Twin Conception
- Genetics, maternal age (30s and above), and certain ethnic backgrounds can increase the likelihood of twins.
-
Lifestyle and Dietary Considerations
- Consuming dairy products and maintaining a healthy weight may slightly boost the chances of twins.
-
Medical and Family History
- A family history of twins, especially on the maternal side, can influence twin conception.

View allI'm 15 and I've been dealing with a weird vaginal odor for a while now. It sometimes smells fishy and other times kind of cheesy. I also have a white discharge, but it doesn't seem to have a bad smell. It's almost like the smell is just coming from my vagina itself. I've tried home remedies like teatree oil spray and bathing in vinegar, but nothing's worked. I've not been sexually active at all, and I dont get my period regularly either. I'm really worried about what could be causing this. What should I do?

I've been struggling with PCOS and hydrosalpinx in my left fallopian tube my doctor says it needs to be removed. There's also a cyst on my right ovary, and they'll check if my right tube is blocked too before possibly removing it and suggesting IVF. But I'm not sure if surgery is the right step since IVF isn't guaranteed. What should I do?

I'm a new mom with a 4-month-old baby, and I'm breastfeeding. I'm worried about finding a safe emergency contraceptive pill that won't affect my breast milk. Could you let me know if options like ipill or Unwanted 72 are safe to use while I'm nursing?
For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.
