Regarding side effects of unwanted 72

I have taken Unwanted 72 at least 10 days ago ( 3rd aug ) and now my whole body is in pain after 10 days. I took it 3 to 4 days after my last periods. Can you please help me regarding the cause of this pain ? It is mimicking the pain before periods. Please reply.

Period problem

My period is expected around 13th August, but I started having small amounts of bleeding/spotting from 6th August. It is not a proper period flow — it has only been occasional small amounts of blood, along with mild period-like cramps. My last period was on 18th July. I usually have a cycle of around 27 days. I also had unprotected sex on 5th August. Could this spotting be related to ovulation, hormonal changes, or my period coming early? Given that I had unprotected sex, could this be related to pregnancy, and when should I take a pregnancy test to rule it out? Should I get any other tests or examination because of the unusual spotting?

Google told it is herpes or syphilis

I am experiencing symptoms after having unprotected, dry sex one week ago. A couple of days after sex, I noticed a big bump on my vulva (the outer loose skin). Now I am on my 2nd/3rd day of my period, and the first bump has shrunk, but two new tiny bumps have appeared side-by-side. The area is quite itchy and irritated by my sanitary pads. Additionally, for the last two days, I have been experiencing systemic body aches, tiredness, and a headache. Because of the timing, I am worried this might be a primary outbreak of an infection like Herpes. Please help me with the right diagnosis and treatment. What should I do

Irregular periods

My periods started at age 14 and became irregular around age 15. At age 16, I was told that I had ovarian cysts and was prescribed medicines to regulate my periods. I was also given another large pink-colored tablet, but I don’t remember its name. After taking the medicines, I experienced sudden weight gain. I later consulted another doctor who said the previous medicine dosage may not have been appropriate. PCOD/PCOS was never confirmed. My periods are still very irregular—sometimes I don’t get them for around 3 months and sometimes up to 9 months. I want to know the possible cause and what tests or evaluation I need.

Melmet Tablet

Hello, I am 7 months post partum. I had been prescribed Melmet before pregnancy to help regularise periods and have been asked to continue the same. I wanted to know the dosage for the same. How many times should I take the tablet? My  sugar is normal.
