I'm wondering if it's okay for my friend to start using Femilon, especially since she's taken emergency contraceptive pills like i-Pill and Unwanted 72 three times in the last four months. I'm curious about any side effects she might experience with Femilon, and I'm also worried if there could be any long-term issues like infertility. Whats your take on this?

Common side effects of Femilon include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, weight changes, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. It is generally safe to use Femilon after using emergency contraceptive pills multiple times. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Regarding long-term effects like infertility, there is no evidence to suggest that using Femilon will lead to infertility. However, prolonged and frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills is not recommended as they are intended for emergency use only. It is advisable for your friend to discuss her contraceptive options with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable method for her.

View allI'm really worried because it feels like there's a water ball in my stomach. I don't know what the exact medical term is for it. Should I be seeing a gynecologist or a gastroenterologist to get this checked out?
The presence of a "water ball" in the stomach could refer to fluid accumulation, possibly indicating a cyst, ascites, or another condition. It's best to consult a **gastroenterologist** first, as they specialize in digestive system issues, including the stomach. If it's related to gynecological causes, the gastroenterologist may refer you to a gynecologist for further evaluation.

I've had my period twice in the span of 15 days. Honestly, I haven't done anything different with my diet or daily routine. I've been on some meds for about a month and a half now, though. Back in October, I was expecting my period around the 28th, but it showed up on the 18th. And now it's here again on November 3rd. The medications I'm currently taking include Indocap, Pantocid, Defcort, and Chekbak D3. Why might my period be so early, and what should I do about it?
The early period could be due to the medications you are taking. Indocap is a brand name for Indomethacin, which can sometimes affect menstrual cycles. Pantocid is a brand name for Pantoprazole, which may also have an impact on menstrual regularity. Defcort is a brand name for Deflazacort, which can sometimes cause hormonal changes leading to irregular periods. Chekbak D3 is a supplement containing Vitamin D3, which is not known to directly affect menstrual cycles. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of these medications affecting your menstrual cycle. They may suggest adjusting the dosage or switching to alternative medications if necessary.

I'm dealing with a fever and some chills, and even though I'm taking crosin and ceftum, it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also pregnant and was prescribed ceftum because of a urine infection. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing?
