I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention _No Scientific Evidence_ There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex. _Papaya's Effect on Fertility_ Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy. _Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_ Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time. _Reliable Contraception Methods_ To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as: 1. Condoms 2. Birth control pills 3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) 4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B) _What to Do Next_ If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can: 1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks. 2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex). 3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?

If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.
