I'm really worried about my wife. We had unprotected sex and she took an unwanted 72 pill within 24 hours. Since then, she's been dealing with some intense abdominal cramps and says she feels pain and inflammation in her vaginal area when she urinates. There's also a white fluid discharge. What's going on? Can you suggest any medications or what we should do next? Were really concerned here.

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing some side effects from taking the emergency contraceptive pill. The heavy abdominal cramps, pain and inflammation in the vaginal area, and the white fluid could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the pill. To help with the symptoms, she can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to alleviate the abdominal cramps and pain. Additionally, she can use a topical cream containing clotrimazole to help with the inflammation and any potential yeast infection that may be causing the white discharge. I recommend she consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and management if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm feeling a lot of pain in my right breast, especially when I press on it. It also feels really hard, kind of like a gland. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly mean?

Changing hormone levels can cause changes in the milk ducts or milk glands. These changes in the ducts and glands can cause breast cysts, which can be painful and are a common cause of cyclic breast pain.And there are many other factors also .So please visit gynae for further needful investigation and evaluation
