I'm a TB patient and it's been 9 months since my surgery. My doctor has me on Rcinex and said I should continue it for 3 more months. I'm wondering if I can take ipills, will they work for me? Also, my periods are a bit irregular, sometimes 1 or 2 days off, or even 34 days. It's been 18 days since my last period, and I'm a bit worried. Can you help?

taking i-Pills (emergency contraception), as TB medications can interact with hormonal contraceptives, potentially reducing their effectiveness; additionally, your varying menstrual cycle and timing since your last period may impact the efficacy of i-Pills so consult gynaecologist

I'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.

First-time intercourse can be painful and may cause bleeding due to hymenal tearing, but this varies from person to person; bleeding, if it occurs, usually lasts a few hours to a few days; being able to insert a single finger into the vagina doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a hymen, as hymens come in different shapes and sizes, and some may be more elastic or flexible.
