Bayer's $1.6 billion settlement is a victory to thousands of women who filed Essure lawsuits against the pharma manufacturer, and to almost 44,000 members of Facebook Essure campaigns.

I'm currently using Susten intravaginally as per my doctor's instructions, but it seems to be leaking out slowly. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?

Using Susten intravaginally can sometimes lead to leakage as the capsule dissolves. It is normal for some of the medication to come out. To minimize leakage, you can try lying down for 20-30 minutes after inserting the capsule. If the leakage is excessive or persistent, you can talk to your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation.

I'm curious about the possibility of using papaya for an abortion at home. Specifically, how many weeks into a pregnancy could this method be an option? I'm looking for some detailed guidance on this, as I'm trying to understand my options better.

Using papaya for abortion is not safe or recommended, as it can lead to severe complications such as infection, bleeding, or incomplete abortion. Abortion should only be performed under medical supervision within the legal time frame, typically up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, depending on the country. Please consult a healthcare professional for guidance and support.
