View allI'm wondering if taking the I-pill can cause really heavy periods that go on for a week or more? I've been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for days now, and it's definitely more intense than my usual periods. Should I be concerned about this?
Yes, I-pill can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier or prolonged periods, as it contains a high dose of hormones. If your periods are unusually heavy for several days, it might be a side effect. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor.

Can STDs be cured?
Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.
