We're dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and after looking over all the reports, we've been considering going the medication route for an abortion. I'm really concerned about one thing: her hemoglobin level is at 8.5. Are tablets still safe to use in this situation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While medical abortion can be safe and effective, low hemoglobin levels increase the risks, particularly with bleeding. It's crucial to first consult with a gynacologist to assess whether medical abortion is a safe option and to consider ways to improve her hemoglobin before proceeding or a blood transfusion

Does frequent sex make the clitoris grow larger over time and if so are there any surgical options to reduce its size if it becomes uncomfortable
No, frequent sex does not typically cause the clitoris to grow larger over time. The clitoris naturally increases in size during sexual arousal and returns to its normal size afterward. Enlarged clitorises, also known as clitoromegaly, can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, or differences in sexual development

So, I've missed my period by 13 days and I'm kind of worried. I was visiting my husband, and we had protected sex from December 4th to 5th. My period usually comes every 32 to 35 days, and it should have been between the 15th to 17th. I'm feeling the usual PMS symptoms like dull pain in my lower back and thighs. Do you think I could be pregnant or is there something else I should be concerned about? What should I do next?
