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'm really confused and worried after my sister took a pregnancy test on the doctor's advice because she missed her period. The test showed a very faint pink line on the control line and a prominent pink line on the test line. Does this mean the test is positive or negative? Also, she took the i-pill within 24 hours of having unprotected contact. Can you help me understand what this all means?

Test is positive , do another time for confirmation

I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?

Visit Gynaecologist immediately that could be incomplete abortion where few products of conception might be there ,get yourself checked and treated
