I'm 19 and about two months ago, I took more than six of those emergency contraceptive pills. I haven't had my period since then, and I've been dealing with some lower abdomen pain, skin allergies, headaches, hair fall, and I've noticed I've gained some weight. Can you help me figure out what's going on with my health? I'm really worried.

male sexual disorders, such as erectile dysfunction, you can consult either a urologist or an andrologist. Both specialists can help, but there's a subtle difference:

Urologist

Focus: Urologists primarily focus on the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including kidneys, bladder, prostate, and penis.

Expertise: They diagnose and treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, prostate issues, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections.

Treatment options: Urologists often provide medical and surgical treatments, including medications, injections, and surgeries.

Andrologist

Focus: Andrologists specialize in male reproductive health, focusing on hormonal and reproductive issues.

Expertise: They diagnose and treat conditions like low testosterone, infertility, erectile dysfunction, and hypogonadism.

Treatment options: Andrologists often provide hormonal therapies, fertility treatments, and lifestyle counseling.

I noticed a small lump about the size of a pea under my skin near my clitoris about a month ago. It disappeared but now it's come back and feels like a hard little ball. What could this be and should I be worried?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a benign cyst, possibly a Bartholin gland cyst or a blocked gland. While it's usually not a cause for concern, it's a good idea to get it checked by a healthcare provider to rule out any issues and get proper advice on how to manage it.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I'm planning to travel to Assam during my 27th or 28th week. While most of my trip from Chennai will be by air, I'll spend the last two hours on some really bad and bumpy roads. Is it safe for someone in my condition to make this trip on such roads? What precautions should I take, and what emergency signs should I be on the lookout for, given that there isn't a good medical facility nearby?

Traveling during your 2728th week of pregnancy with bumpy roads may pose risks, such as discomfort, back pain, and potentially, preterm labor or placental abruption; to minimize risks, consider consulting your obstetrician before traveling, wear a seatbelt, take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid fatigue; monitor yourself for emergency signs, including severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, contractions, or decreased fetal movement, and research local medical facilities along your route in case of an emergency, despite their limitations.
