I'm kind of worried because it's been almost a month since I had sex with my girlfriend, and she still hasn't gotten her period. I read that sometimes cycles can be late, so I'm trying not to panic yet. But, just in case she is pregnant, I was wondering if there's a way to prevent it aside from abortion, which honestly seems really scary. Are there any other options we should consider?

A sudden appearance of a lump or swelling on the penis can be alarming.
Possible causes include:
Injury or trauma during sex Infection (e.g., balanitis) Inflammation (e.g., phimosis) Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI)
Seek medical attention from a urologist or a primary care physician as soon as possible.
Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, and refrain from sexual activity until you receive a proper evaluation and guidance.

View allWhy do fibroids cause heavy periods?
Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.

I'm currently pregnant and I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and a bit of a cold. I've heard that crocin or paracetamol can be taken to help with these symptoms, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guide me on whether that's safe or if there are specific precautions I should consider?
During pregnancy, Crocin (paracetamol) can generally be taken for fever and cold, as it is considered safe in moderation. However, it's important to consult your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your specific stage of pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dosage.

I had laparoscopic surgery 25 days ago to remove a cyst from my left ovary and I'm on a 3-month course of medication. The wounds have healed and I don't have any pain now. Since I'm a dance student, I really need to get back to practice when would it be safe for me to start dancing again?
You may resume dance 4–6 weeks after laparoscopic cyst surgery, but get clearance from your surgeon first. Avoid high-impact moves early on.
