Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxx,

If you have taken Unwanted 72 within 5-6 hours of unprotected sex, you are protected from pregnancy. You need not worry.

Unwanted 72 contains hormones. Hence the next menses may be somewhat delayed by few days. May be you will get some additional bleeding 3-4 days after the tablets. That is normal. Nothing to worry about.

I hope this satisfies you. If you want any more information, I am always available for you, xxxxxxxxx.

Brief Answer:
Relax. You will get period.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxx,

Usually you get the periods at the time of expected menses after unwanated 72. However, they may be delayed for few days since this medicine contains high amount of hormones.

Sometimes, after consuming pills, within 4-7 days there is some amount of bleeding which is not to be considered as menses. If such bleeding occurs, then the chances of period getting further delayed are more.

No one can predict exactly after how many days the menses will come; however, this is a rough prediction.

I feel you need to shirk off stress of this issue. More the stress, more the chance of menses getting delayed. Relax and live your regular life.

I hope this should assure you. If you feel so, you may post a good review for me with 5 star rating.

If you feel to have any more information, please feel free to ask me, xxxxxxxxxx.

Brief Answer:
Motherhood marks

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxx,

While reading your issue, I am smiling in the lips.

Yes, we have been approached by so many mothers who have stretch marks of pregnancy - called as strae gravidarum. They want these marks to go. Please understand the pathophysiology of these marks:

During pregnancy due to sudden and extreme stretching of the skin on the abdomen by the growing uterus, the deeper layers of the skin crack. This leaves the mark. During pregnancy, they are red due to increased amount of blood. After delivery they become white. Since the cracks are in the deeper tissues, they cannot be removed by any external medicines. Many women get similar marks even on the breasts also. Some cosmetic products do claim that they can remove these marks; however, I am doubtful about them. None of my patients have been benefitted by any of such products.

The caesarean surgery scar also is formed by fibrous tissue which is different than the skin tissue. Hence cannot go by any medicines.

There is only one assured way to remove these scars and stretch marks - plastic surgery. If you are so keen on removing these scars and marks, you may go for plastic surgery.

I am very sorry, I could not help you in this matter. However, I did not want to give you any false assurance just to please you. It is my duty to give you scientifically correct advice, which I have done.

Moreover xxxxxxxxxx, is it really necessary to remove them? They are the proud designs of your motherhood. If you are not wearing bikini, they are hidden in your clothes. Anyway, it is up to you.

Now regarding your previous question. What kind of pain is this during intercourse? Is during insertion or later on? Where do you get it? What type of pain is this. If you update me with this information, I shall be better equipped to solve your problem. Please inform me more details.

And finally, you should not feel embarrassed in asking any number of questions. I would always be happy to be of your help, xxxxxx.
