Ayaw maging buntis (Unwanted Pregnancy)

Tanong: gud evening. gusto ko lng po mag-ask kasi po i think im preggy, aug 22 po me last nagka-mens and regular ako... so dapat sept 20 something is dapat may mens ako... but til now october 1.. wala pa rin.. and i tried na rin ang pregnancy test minute ago... mga 11pm... but its POSITVE.. can i ask if totoo ba to???... sobrang depress me kc hindi tlaga pwede... ayoko pa...im not ready to have a child...ano po ba gawin ko??? anong pwedeng inumin na gamot para hindi ito mabuo?.. natatakot po ako... plzzz help me po.. thanks

Doc Gino: Ang nararapat mong gawin ay ulitin ang pregnancy test. Kung positibo pa rin ay totoo ang resulta at nabuo na ang pagbubuntis. Samakatwid, ang susunod na dapat gawin ay alagaan ang pagbubuntis. Magpacheck-up sa isang espesyalista tulad ng OBGYN at sumunod sa payo. Kung iniisip mo na putulin ang pagbubuntis, isipin ito nang maraming beses sapagka't baka manganib ang iyong buhay kung sakaling ituloy mo ang iyong balak sa dami ng magiging komplikasyon bukod pa sa hindi legal ito sa batas ng ating bansa.

Masakit na Pagreregla (Dysmenorrhea)

Tanong: dok i just wanna ask some more about my menstruation. im 22 yrs old single... since when the time na mag mens ako when i was 12 years old always sumasakit ang puson ko during my period until now. kung nong una hindi sya subrang sakit pero habang nag kaka age ako lalo rin syang sumasakit na para bang mahuhulog na ang matris ko. pinagpapawisan ako ng malamig at nanginginig ang buo kong katawan pag 1st day ko. naaabala ang trabaho ko so there4 umiinom po ako ng midol everytime na sumasakit ang puson ko, pero may naka pagsabi na may side effect daw ang drugs at the end.ndn after may period nilalabasan ako na kulay dilaw na likido na hindi maganda ang amoy na parang nana ang amoy nito, nababahala ako dok, na baka may sakit na ako sa vagina. di pa ako nagpapa consult. at totoo po ba na ang pag aasawa at pagkakaroon ng anak ay mawawala ang tinatawag na Dysmenorrhea. i will appreciate that u reply my question..

Doc Gino: Ang una mong problema ay ang "dysmenorrhea" kung kaya't sumasakit ang iyong puson sa tuwing magkakaroon ng buwanang dalaw. Isa sa mga dahilan nito ay ang tinatawag na “endometriosis” na kung saan nagreregla sa labas ng bahay bata o matres. Ito ay masosolusyonan sa pamamagitan ng mga gamot na pwedeng inumin. Kung susunod sa reseta ng iyong "gynecologist," ang mga "side effects" ay maiiwasan. Ang panganganak ay maaaring magpagaling ng "dysmenorrhea."

Sa ikalawang problema na may nalabas na nana sa iyong ari. Ito ay isang impeksyon sa pwerta na marami ang dahilan. Maaring ang iyong “sexual partner” ay mayroong impeksiyon na naipasa sa iyo. Kailangan ang pagpapasuri sa iyong "gynecologist" upang malaman kung ano ito. Kung mayroon "active sexual partner" pati ang kapareha ay kailangan na magpasuri rin upang maiwasan manumbalik ang sakit na ito.
