One of my friend had sex with his bf now she is afraid that she is pregnant . what should she do?

Question

Firstly see what is her date of periods. Five days before the periods and five days after her periods is relatively safe time for sex. If still in doubt then wait for her periods. If they come then no trouble for both of you. If the periods do not come the within 10 days of missed periods go to near by gynarcologist for treatment. Do not treat yourself or on advice of chemist. You will land in more trouble. Next time remember to take precautions.

Thank you for your question. The commonest side effect of unprotected intercourse is a sexually transmitted infection followed by unwanted pregnancy. If your friend thinks she is pregnant she needs to do a pregnancy test with an early morning sample of her urine. If it is positive and she does not wish to be pregnant she needs to see a gynaecologist who can discuss the options for termination of pregnancy. Termination of pregnancy can only be carried out by a licenced medical practitioner in a government recognized center for termination of pregnancy. She will need to have an ultrasound examination and attend the hospital to complete the paperwork before any procedure can be carried out. If her pregnancy test is negative she can wait for 15 days for her period to come. If the period does not come and the test is still negative she should see the gynaecologist for further examination and tests. Regarding contraception, if she is likely to continue to be sexually active she needs to discuss her contraceptive choices with the gynaecologist and choose a method which suits her. This needs to be used in addition to condoms. Condoms are very good at preventing infections if used correctly but are often associated with a higher failure rate relating to unwanted pregnancies. Hope this helps best wishes.
