I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding for the past 10 days. I tried taking Trenaxa 500mg, but it hasn't helped. I also have a history of PCOD. What should I do about this?

I'm really worried about something that happened with my friend. Her boyfriend fingered her, and she's freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. They aren't sure if there might have been anything on his fingers. Can you explain if pregnancy is possible from fingering in this situation?

It is highly unlikely that pregnancy would occur from fingering, as sperm would need to be directly introduced into the vagina for fertilization to happen. However, if there is a possibility that semen was on the fingers and they were introduced into the vagina, it's still a very low risk, but I would recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for further reassurance and guidance.

I had a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy on March 12 how long should I wait before being intimate with my husband again?

After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.
