Can my girlfriend get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?
When someone takes the emergency contraceptive pill like an i-pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it can help prevent pregnancy by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. However, there's always a small chance of pregnancy because no method is 100% effective. It's great that she took it promptly after the deed; that improves its effectiveness. Just to be safe, keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms and consider a pregnancy test if her period is late or consult with gynecologist.

Is my left penile bend Peyronie's or natural?
You might have Peyronie's disease which can develop a bent penis. The reason for this is the degradation of the penis and scar tissue formation inside the penis. It can be either the result of injury or unknown reasons. You probably won't need the treatment if it doesn't hurt or cause any issues. But if you're concerned, visiting a urologist could be beneficial. They may recommend medication, injections, or surgery.

Can fresh semen in underwear cause pregnancy?
Let me reassure you that the scenario you described is highly unlikely to result in pregnancy. For pregnancy to occur, the semen needs to enter the vagina and travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize an egg. External contact with fresh semen on underwear wouldn't lead to pregnancy. However, if you're concerned, you can simply wash the area with soap and water to remove any traces. If you have any more questions or concerns, schedule an appointment with your gynecologist.

What ointment helps with painful anal wound symptoms?
What you're describing could possibly be an anal fissure, which is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. These can happen from things like scratching, hard stools, or even trauma during bowel movements. It's understandable to feel worried, but the good news is that these usually heal on their own with some simple care. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, using a mild ointment like petroleum jelly to soothe it, and ensuring you have a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation. If it persists or worsens, do reach out to a physician for a closer look.

Is my penis length normal?
The length of the penis can vary from person to person, and there's a wide range that's considered normal. Sometimes genetics play a role in determining size, and other factors like hormone levels or overall health can also have an impact. It's essential to remember that size doesn't necessarily correlate with sexual satisfaction. If this is causing you distress, it might be helpful to speak with a sexologist who can offer guidance and support. They can assess your overall health and provide personalized advice or referrals if needed.

What should I do after taking emergency pill?
Not every time you should be worried when you feel your cycle being delayed is explained by emergency contraception, most of the time it's normal. The hormonal fluctuations that can occur in your menstrual cycle are directly linked to the emergency contraceptive pill. These are some of the common side effects due to the application of progesterone. The natural result of the body's adjustment is to monitor it and leave it alone simply. Consult a gynecologist if you don't get your period any time soon, or if you feel intense pain.

Why do I have blood and pain in urine?
You might have a urinary tract infection, which is quite common. Symptoms include blood in urine, a burning sensation, and pain while peeing. This is because bacteria can gain access through the bladder wall. Doing these will help you: drink water, take prescribed antibiotics, and avoid the urge to go urgently.
