I've consulted with you a couple of times about my PCOS and irregular periods. You mentioned using devire and krimson 35. Could you guide me on when exactly I should start taking krimson 35 in relation to my period cycle? I've been a bit confused about timing it right.

Papaya and Pregnancy Prevention

No Scientific Evidence

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that papaya can prevent pregnancy after regular sex.

Papaya's Effect on Fertility

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which may have anti-fertility effects in large quantities. However, eating papaya after sex will not prevent pregnancy.

Effectiveness of Post-Coital Papaya Consumption

Eating papaya 20 hours after sex is unlikely to have any effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and ovulation can occur at any time.

Reliable Contraception Methods

To prevent pregnancy, consider using reliable contraception methods, such as:

Condoms

Birth control pills

Intrauterine devices (IUDs)

Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B)

What to Do Next

If your girlfriend is concerned about pregnancy, she can:

Take a pregnancy test after 3-4 weeks.

Consider emergency contraception (if within 72 hours of sex).

Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on contraception and reproductive health.

I've had cysts in both breasts for the last two months and they sometimes cause pain. Can you tell me if this can be treated with medication or if surgery is needed? Also, is it safe to try for pregnancy right now with this condition? I've attached my ultrasound and FNAC reports for reference

excision of the cyst is advised.

I'm trying to get pregnant, and I've missed my period for over 25 days now. My last period was on January 16th. I did both a sonography and a urine pregnancy test, and both came back negative. My doctor suggested I take Deviry tablets, 10mg, two tabs a day, but there's still no sign of my period. This has never happened to me before. Could I still be pregnant somehow? I'm also starting to feel really nauseous and weak. What could be going on?

-It's possible to be pregnant even with a negative test, as sometimes the test may not detect the pregnancy early enough. However, since you're feeling nausea and weakness, it's worth consulting with your doctor for further tests or to reassess your situa

My TVS report says there's a heteroechoic lesion around 13-15 mm in the fundal region of the uterus, likely a fibroid. It also mentions an enlarged right ovary with a cyst, bulky cervix, and uterine fibroids. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

The best approach to treating fibroids and an ovarian cyst, especially when there's also a bulky cervix, depends on the severity of symptoms and the woman's reproductive goals. While some fibroids and cysts may be managed with medication, surgical intervention might be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic fibroids
