Is mifepristone 10mg effective as emergency contraception post-exposure?
Is taking mifepristone 10 mg effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? I took it hours after having unprotected sex.
Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 30th July '24
Mifepristone is a medication that is typically not used in the 10 mg dose as an emergency contraceptive pill. It may be less beneficial than other methods such as emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel. Your preventive action is a good step. However, be aware that this may not be effective in preventing pregnancy. In case you experience any abnormal symptoms or if you suspect you are pregnant, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then
Female | 21
Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

I was 6 weeks 1 day pregnant and had an abortionDo you have symptoms like low energy, headache, body pain, chest pain, fast heartbeat, digestive problems, trouble sleeping, high blood pressure, irritability, general unhappiness, anxiety, moodiness, etc., along with missed periods?
Female | 29
The symptoms you're experiencing may be related to hormonal changes after your abortion. Low energy, headaches, body pain, and mood changes are common. However, if you’re feeling severe chest pain, fast heartbeat, or high blood pressure, it’s important to consult a gynecologist as soon as possible. They can assess your condition and provide the right treatment.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare
Female | 25
After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person.
In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

I had incomplete abortion so was in so much pain took ibuprofen for 15 days and tramadol 4-5 times and then underwent D&C on 19th august. I coughed up blood on 18th August. My uterus perforated and to stop the bleeding my artery is ligated. Now from a week i am coughing up blood several times a day, though my chest xray is clear.
Female | 26
Coughing up blood can be dangerous. It could be because of different reasons for example infections, lung problems, or even bleeding disorders. In your situation, with a doctor saying that you have a history of uterine perforation and ligation of an artery, there could be a possible continuity of bleeding inside you. Visit a gynecologist immediately for diagnosis and cure.

Female | 20
• The lack of menstruation, also known as amenorrhea, is the absence of menstrual bleeding. It occurs when a female does not get her first menstrual period by the age of 16. It can also happen when a woman does not menstruate for 3 to 6 months. Amenorrhea can occur for a variety of reasons.
• Pregnancy is the most prevalent reason.
• On the other hand, can be caused by a variety of lifestyle variables, including body weight and activity levels.
• Hormonal imbalances or difficulties with the reproductive organs may be the reason in some circumstances.
Consult a Gynecologist for complete check-up and treatment.

I am 22 years of age experiencing period pains but no periods
Female | 22
This can happen to some people. Usually, it is nothing to worry about. The stresses, hormonal changes, or normal body changes might be the reasons for these pains. You can try light exercise to feel better. Also, you can apply a warm compress to your lower belly or take over-the-counter pain relief medicine like ibuprofen if needed.

The first day of my last period was April 1st and my expected ovulation date was April 17th. I had sex on the 13th/14th and took plan B in the morning of the 14th; I had sex again on the 19th/20th and took plan B on the morning of the 20th and I had sex on the 28th and took the plan B immediately. I am not on any contraceptive medication and my partner pulled out before ejaculating - so he said. I washed up immediately and took the pills. My period is late now and I don’t want to be pregnant. I have take about 6 pregnancy test and they were all negative, not even a faint line of positive which is relieve. But my period is a day late and I’m worried. I took a test this morning and it was still negative. I feel tired, bloated, heightened smell, and I urinate frequently. What do I do?
Female | 26
These signs can mean your hormone levels changed. Stress or being anxious can also make you feel this way. It's good your pregnancy tests were negative - you're likely not pregnant. Your period may be late because of stress, life changes, or hormone shifts. Keep track of how you feel. If your period still doesn't come in a few days, see a gynecologist.

Female | 18
Having missed your period, with no spotting, light cramps, and a negative pregnancy test result, you may be pregnant. However, this is not definite. Stress or illness could also cause a late period. Using emergency contraception can affect your cycle. Wait a week and take another test. If still uncertain, consult a gynecologist.

Female | 22
Vaginal discharge is normal, but if it is of a watery consistency and drenching your clothes, you might have the condition increased vaginal secretions. The reason for this could be hormonal changes, infections, or even other reasons. Always go for breathable underwear, chemical-free products with no scents, and keep yourself clean. If the problem does not go away, then it is good to talk to a gynecologist.

Female | 20
It's common to worry if your period is late after sex. Pregnancy symptoms like tiredness, breast tenderness, or nausea can occur, but you're feeling something different, right? Don't panic! Stress or changes in your routine are often the main reasons for a delayed period. Wait a bit longer, and if your period doesn't come, consider taking a pregnancy test.

When you get the Implanon implant for birth control, your body might experience changes that seem like pregnancy signs. These can include stomach expansion and developing a linea nigra, despite negative test results. Hormonal fluctuations caused by the implant can lead to such symptoms. It's advisable to consult a gynecologist to ensure everything is normal.

She is a 16 years girl she getting pain after fingering And Pain lasts for 10 minutes and then goes away after 1 or 2 hours Is it about to happen or has been happening since last 3 days What to do to stop this pain or how much pain will it cause?
Female | 16
One cause might be that there wasn't enough lubrication when the finger was inserted. Lack of proper lubrication can cause friction and pain. Using a water-based lubricant can help prevent this. The pain should lessen if she takes a break and lets her body rest. If the pain continues or worsens, she should contact a gynecologist.

Itching in my vagina and burning while peeing
Female | 19
If you experience vaginal itching and burning when urinating, you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI) or yeast infection. UTIs result from bacteria entering your bladder. Yeast infections occur due to excessive vaginal yeast. Consuming ample water and consulting a gynecologist for testing can determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Female | 21
Nausea and vomiting together with the missed period can be signs of pregnancy, but the negative test result is reassuring. The clear discharge may be normal vaginal discharge.
