I've recently had unprotected sex and I'm worried about the risk of pregnancy. Can I take the emergency contraceptive pill, like IPILLS, to prevent this?

I'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?

Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

My mom is 50 and has a 20 cm fibroid in her uterus. What's the best way to treat this without surgery? Is there a non-surgical cure or any natural remedies that could help shrink it?

if she has excessive bleeding during her periods or if she has severe abdominal pain, surgery will be the better option.
