Is it harmful to take unwanted 72 two times in a week? I noticed that I start having periods right after taking it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

-Taking Unwanted 72 frequently, like twice a week, can disrupt your hormonal balance and lead to irregular periods. It's meant for emergency use, not regular contraception. If you're using it often, consider switching to a more reliable, long-term method

After my C-section, I noticed pus-like liquid coming from the incision. Can you suggest a good cream that helps with healing and also deals with the pus?

If pus-like liquid is coming from your C-section incision, it's essential to seek medical advice immediately. Pus indicates a potential infection, and it's important to address it promptly. While some creams may offer temporary relief, they cannot treat a true infection.
