I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've just found out that I'm pregnant. I've been using a Levolin inhaler for my asthma, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Can I keep using this inhaler during my pregnancy, or should I look into other treatment options?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! While Levolin (salbutamol) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, it's important to consult your doctor to assess your specific needs. They may recommend adjusting your medication or dosage based on your asthma control and pregnancy status.

View allI'm 68 weeks into a healthy pregnancy but have been dealing with slightly low blood pressure and morning sickness. Yesterday, my gynecologist prescribed me some medicine, and today I looked it up on Google. I read on Practo that this medicine is not recommended for pregnant women or those trying to get pregnant. I'm really worried and unsure about whether I should take it or not. Can you help me with this?

I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.
Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention _No Scientific Evidence_ There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex. _Papaya's Effect on Fertility_ Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy. _Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption_ Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time. _Reliable Contraception Methods_ To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as: 1. Condoms 2. Birth control pills 3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) 4. Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B) _What to Do Next_ If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can: 1. Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks. 2. Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex). 3. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?
rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.
