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

1. Focus: Urologists primarily focus on the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including kidneys, bladder, prostate, and penis.
2. Expertise: They diagnose and treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, prostate issues, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections.
3. Treatment options: Urologists often provide medical and surgical treatments, including medications, injections, and surgeries.

Andrologist

1. Focus: Andrologists specialize in male reproductive health, focusing on hormonal and reproductive issues.
2. Expertise: They diagnose and treat conditions like low testosterone, infertility, erectile dysfunction, and hypogonadism.
3. Treatment options: Andrologists often provide hormonal therapies, fertility treatments, and lifestyle counseling.
