Sometimes early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large.

I've missed my period this time and had unprotected sex about 12 days ago. I'm unsure if I'm pregnant, and I'm worried about what might happen if I take Unwanted Mankind abortion pills without confirming it. Could there be any side effects if I take them even if I'm not actually pregnant?

Taking abortion pills like Unwanted M without confirming pregnancy is not recommended. If you are not pregnant, these pills can still cause side effects such as nausea, bleeding, or hormonal disturbances. Please take a pregnancy test first and consult a doctor for appropriate guidance.

I've got these blisters on one of the lips of my vagina, and it's super painful. I've been experiencing some burning and itchiness too. I always have protected sex, but about a few weeks ago, I did receive oral sex. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Blisters on one lip of your vagina along with pain and itching could be indicative of genital herpes. Since you mentioned receiving oral sex a few weeks ago, it is possible that you have contracted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genitally. I recommend taking antiviral medication such as Acyclovir (400mg three times a day) or Valacyclovir (1 gram twice a day) to help manage the symptoms and reduce the duration of the outbreak. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding sexual contact until the blisters have healed can help in the healing process.
