It’s tough to be unhappy with your body, but know this: your worth is not determined by the size of your manhood. It is okay if you want to change it, although there aren’t any quick solutions or pills for making it bigger. However, it would be better if you concentrated on things that will make you happy and look for help with your depression.

Do I need another pill after ipill intercourse?

Answered on 8th May '24
If you had an emergency contraceptive pill within 12-15 hours of intercourse, you are usually protected. It's common to experience changes in your period after taking the pill. Wait for your next period; if it's late or abnormal, do a pregnancy test. Also, using regular birth control methods is important to prevent pregnancy in the future.

Pregnancy happens when the sperm meets the egg. You can worry when your periods do not come, but other things like stress, changes in your body, or the pills you take can make your periods late. If you are still worried, you should take a pregnancy test to be sure. You should talk to your gynecologist about other ways to not get pregnant in the future.

24-year-old with chin swelling, what could it be?
I am 24 years old and yesterday I just feel something under my chin like it feels a swelling and something under my skin
Dermatologist
Answered on 8th May '24
This could be caused by a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are small glands that help fight germs. When they swell up, it might mean your body is battling an infection. If the swelling is not painful and you feel fine, you can keep an eye on it. However, if the swelling does not go away or you have other symptoms, it is a good idea to see a dermatologist to find out the cause.

Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 8th May '24
Major events like the death of a loved one or tests at school can upset a girl's period cycle. When you feel worried or nervous, the hormones in your body get out of balance. This makes her period come at different times than usual or not come at all that month. To help, you should try deep breaths, exercise, fun activities, and talking about her feelings. After the stress goes away, your period will probably go back to normal.

I'm 17, with painless skin-colored eyelid lumps. Concerning?
I am 17 year old female. I noticed that I have a lump inside my eyelids on both eyes. It is painless, not swollen, it's colour is same as my skin colour. It's been for about 1 month and it is starting to get noticeable when I close my eyes.
Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon
Answered on 8th May '24
You may have a common eye issue called a chalazion. A chalazion is a small lump in the eyelid. It happens when oil glands get blocked. Don't worry, chalazions often go away by themselves. Try warm compresses to help it heal faster. If it doesn't go away or gets bigger, see an eye doctor for treatment.

Should I worry about fibroadenomas in my breasts?
I am a 26 year old female. I discovered fibroadenomas in my breast when I was 18. I have 8-9 lesions in each breast, not big ones. I get them checked every year. Is this something I need to be worried about?
Social Obstetrics And Gynecologist
Answered on 8th May '24
Fibroadenomas are growths in the breast that are not cancer. You may feel a lump or see changes in breast shape. These lumps happen when gland and tissue cells grow too much. Most times, no treatment is needed if the lump does not grow or hurt. Keep seeing your gynecologist for further solutions.

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 8th May '24
The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

Why is my skin tone uneven and pimpled?
Hello docto I'm noticing some uneven skin tone on my face and hands. They also appear darker than the rest of my body. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?" And also some pimples on my face can you give a solution??
Dermatologist
Answered on 8th May '24
Darker areas on your skin may be hyperpigmentation. This common issue happens when the skin makes too much pigment. Sun exposure, hormones, or irritation can cause it. As for pimples, they come from clogged pores and extra oil. To help, use a gentle face wash, sunscreen, and products with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. These can even out skin tone and unclog pores. You can also visit a dermatologist.

Can I Get Pregnant After Taking Unwanted72 Twice?
We had sexual intercourses..after 12 hours i took unwanted72 pill..just after 1 hour of taking the pill we had sex again..is there any chance of pregnancy?? Or i need to take one more pill?
Gynecologist
Answered on 8th May '24
The Unwanted 72 pill helps stop pregnancy when taken within 12 hours after sex. It works by stopping egg release or blocking sperm and egg from joining. But having sex again soon after the pill may make it less effective. Although there's still a small chance of pregnancy, it's best not to take another pill without a doctor's advice. Look out for signs like missed periods, feeling sick, or sore breasts. If you notice any, talk to a gynecologist right away.
