How long do damaged nerves take to heal?

Regeneration time depends on how seriously your nerve was injured and the type of injury that you sustained. If your nerve is bruised or traumatized but is not cut, it should recover over 6-12 weeks. A nerve that is cut will grow at 1mm per day, after about a 4 week period of 'rest' following your injury.

_Broken Condom and Plan B: Assessing Pregnancy Risk and Next Steps_ Given the situation, here's a summary of the risks and recommendations: _Pregnancy Risk_ 1. _Low risk_: Although the condom broke, your partner had not ejaculated, and he had urinated multiple times after his last ejaculation, reducing the likelihood of sperm being present. 2. _Pre-cum risk_: Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, but the risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low. _Plan B Effectiveness_ 1. _High effectiveness_: Plan B (levonorgestrel) is highly effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. 2. _Repeated use_: Although you've taken Plan B multiple times, its effectiveness remains high. However, it's essential to consider alternative birth control methods to avoid frequent emergency contraception use. _Next Steps_ 1. _Wait for your period_: Monitor your menstrual cycle and wait for your period to confirm that you're not pregnant. 2. _Consider alternative birth control_: Discuss alternative birth control methods with your partner, such as hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms with a higher failure rate. 3. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options and any concerns you may have. _Important Notes_ 1. _STI risk_: Although you used protection, it's essential to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Discuss STI testing with your healthcare provider. 2. _Regular check-ups_: Regular health check-ups and open communication with your partner are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and addressing any concerns that may arise.
