How painful is a colposcopy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A colposcopy is nearly pain-free. You might feel pressure when the speculum goes in. It might also sting or burn a little when they wash your cervix with the vinegar-like solution.

View allI'm planning a week-long trip to Goa and I'm worried because my period is supposed to start around the same time. I really want to enjoy the beach without any hassle. Is there a safe way to delay my period for this trip? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
You can consider taking Norethisterone (brand name Regestrone) to delay your periods. It is a commonly used medication for period delay. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

So, my boyfriend and I are kind of new to having sex, and last night we used a condom, but it broke. He's using those Trojan ultra thin ones. He hadnt ejaculated, only pre-cum, and he did go to the bathroom several times after his last ejaculation, so he wasnt too worried about any leftover semen. The condom broke right at the tip, and we quickly got a Plan B pill, but this is the third time weve relied on Plan B, though its our first time this year. Should we be worried about me possibly getting pregnant?

I found out I have a 9 mm intramural myoma in my uterus and I'm 26 and unmarried. Is this size dangerous and what kind of impact could it have? Also, if I need surgery, are there any risks or harmful effects I should know about?
A 9mm intramural fibroid, while a benign growth, doesn't usually cause immediate danger, but it's essential to monitor it. At your age and with no current fertility goals, the immediate impact is likely minimal. However, if you plan for future pregnancies or experience any concerning symptoms (heavy periods, pain), seek medical advice to discuss potential treatment options and manage any future risks
