Understanding the Hymen
- The hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. Its size and shape vary greatly among individuals.

Tampons and the Hymen

Safety and Normalcy

Proper Tampon Use

View allI'm taking regestrone 5mg tablets because my gynaecologist suggested them since my periods got delayed. We had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside. I'm really worried about getting pregnant now. What are the chances of becoming pregnant while taking regestrone? Just so you know, I did a pregnancy test before starting regestrone and it came back negative.
Regestrone is a synthetic progestin that helps regulate the menstrual cycle. While it can help with delayed periods, it is not a contraceptive method. The chances of getting pregnant while on regestrone are still present, especially if unprotected intercourse occurs. It is important to use additional contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you may consider emergency contraception like Levonorgestrel 1.5mg as a precautionary measure within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.

I've been having this continuous issue where a white fluid or water keeps coming from my vagina, and it happens even when I'm not thinking about anything sexual. This started when I was around 17, but I just assumed it was normal since I didn't know much back then. I'm still experiencing it now, and I can't help but wonder if this is related to why I'm so slim. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?
2-3 days in amoth is normal and is physiological if its more than that visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm kind of anxious about something and could really use some advice. So, I had protected sex using a condom just a couple of days before my period started on the 29th, and then I got my period on the 31st. Do you think there's any chance I could be pregnant? I'm also thinking about whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill like an ipill, but I'm worried it might mess up my period. Is it a good idea to take it, or should I just not worry about this?
no need to take pill you done at safe Sex period
