My mom has been having heavy bleeding and the doctors said her uterus wall is thickening based on scans. They recommended surgery since this happened before 18 months ago too but now the wall is thicker. Her blood levels dropped from the bleeding and they quoted around 50k for the procedure scheduled this Saturday. Is surgery the best option given her history and current condition?

It's understandable to be concerned about your mom's health. The thickening of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia) and the subsequent heavy bleeding, especially with the blood level drop, are serious issues. Surgery might be a reasonable option, especially if the previous episode occurred 18 months ago and the condition has worsened

I had unprotected sex at the end of May and took an i-pill within a day. I had some bleeding after that on the 6th of June, but my period was supposed to come around the 11th and it hasnt yet. My breasts feel tender now. When should I expect my period to come? I'm worried about whats happening.

After taking the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) and experiencing withdrawal bleeding, it's common for menstrual cycles to be disrupted; considering your periods were due on June 11th, you can expect them to arrive anytime between now and 4-6 weeks from the date of withdrawal bleeding, so wait and watch for another 2-4 weeks, and if still no periods, take a pregnancy tes

I'm really worried and a bit confused. If there's rubbing over the vagina with underwear on, and the underwear gets wet from precum or semen, could that cause pregnancy? I just need to understand how this works because it's been stressing me out.

While the chances of pregnancy in this scenario are low, it is still possible, especially if precum or semen comes into contact with the vaginal area. Sperm can swim and may lead to pregnancy if it reaches the vaginal canal. It is always advisable to use contraception to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.
