I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello Darsh,
I understand your concern and worry. Let me helo you.
If sexual intercourse happens during periods, the girl CAN’T GET PREGNANT. Plus, you’re saying that ejaculation didn’t happen inside the vagina, so you can be assured that there is no risk of pregnancy, overall.
Plus, ipill should be taken only once. If a girl takes ipill multiple times, she might face some other hormonal issues. So, no need to take further ipills.
Feel free to reach our again.
Regards,
Dr. Nirav Jain

I am a medical graduate and I completed my degree from a reputable institution where I also went through the mandatory one year rotatory internship that exposed me to almost every dept of clinical medicine. Those months were long and some days felt never ending but I got real hands on experiance in OPDs, wards, even emergency and minor procedures. What stayed with me is not only the knowledge of disease but the way patients look at their own illness. I learnt early that treating just a symptom or single diagnosis isnt enough, the real challenge is to see the patient as a whole, to understand how their lifestyle, family, stress, small daily habits all play into recovery. Sometimes the answer is simple treatment, sometimes it is a mix of counselling, preventive steps and medicine. I still carry that approach in my daily practice. When I sit with a patient I try not to rush, I want to hear the small details, the part they think unimportant. Because often those parts give the clue. I focus on holistic patient care, where general medicine overlaps with preventive health, lifestyle modification and long term well-being. The internship also gave me confidence to work under pressure, managing routine as well as complex cases. From inserting IV lines, catheters, assisting in deliveries, handling inpatient records, or stabilizing a patient in distress – each experience taught me something about both science and responsibility. My training also shaped how I communicate. I prefer using simple words, no heavy jargon, so patients and families can actually feel safe and understand what is happening. I don’t claim to know all the answers but I always try to look deeper and give care that is both rational and empathetic. For me the goal is not just to fix a lab value or acute problem, but to help patients feel they are being seen and treated as a person. That’s what keeps me grounded in medicine and also keeps me learning everyday.

Hi there,
See ma’am since no ejaculation occured inside there’s no chance of getting a pregnancy.
Secondly you were on your periods it is near zero odds for getting pregnant.
Lastly, taking ipill has hormonal side effects you didn’t have to take it even on 8th but since you have taken it there’s no need to take it again.
In simple words don’t worry your pregnancy chances are negligible.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Risk of pregnancy is very low during menstruation, especially if no ejaculation inside.
Taking i-pill unnecessarily may cause menstrual irregularities, spotting, hormonal imbalance.
Emergency contraceptive pills are meant for occasional emergency use only.
Since you already took i-pill on 8th Sept, do not repeat it this cycle. For this recent episode (during periods, no ejaculation), you do not need another i-pill.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi Darsh,
NO NEED TO TAKE I PILL AGAIN .
There was no ejaculation inside vagina,and intercourse done during periods but still u took I pill .
Hence YOU ARE COMPLETELY SAFE,no chance for pregnancy.
Taking I pill more than once in a cycle can disturb your hormonal balance. So try to avoid that.
Repeated use of i pill in same month is not recommended.
I hope your doubts are cleared
Thank you

Dr. Alan Reji

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Since ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina, the risk of pregnancy is extremely low, but taking an emergency pill (i-pill) as a precaution is generally safe. Emergency contraception should not be used frequently—ideally only in rare situations—and more than once in a menstrual cycle is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Do not take it again for the same incident, and consider consulting a gynecologist for advice on safe contraception methods.

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

Having unprotected sex during your period generally carries a lower risk of pregnancy, especially if there was no ejaculation inside the vagina. However, it’s important to understand that sperm can sometimes survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, and ovulation timing can vary. If your cycle is irregular or short, there could be a chance of overlap with fertile days. Considering you recently took an emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) on September 8, it’s crucial to be aware that frequent use of ECP is not recommended. Ipill can be effective to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraception failure, but it is intended for occasional use, not as a regular contraceptive method. Taking it multiple times within a short period, like the same cycle, could lead to side effects such as menstrual irregularities, nausea, or hormonal imbalance. If you’re considering taking another ipill, weigh the necessity against potential side effects. If you’re unsure, a healthcare provider could help weigh options based on your regular cycle, the incidence timing, and whether you have other reliable contraception. It’s also worthwhile to explore regular contraception methods that might suit your lifestyle better, such as oral contraceptive pills, patches, or long-acting methods, which can provide more consistent pregnancy prevention. It’s advisable not to rely on ECP multiple times a month, and if you find yourself needing it often, this could indicate a need to reassess your primary contraceptive strategy. If there’s any concern about potential pregnancy, consider following up with pregnancy testing or professional medical advice, and remember to address ongoing contraception needs proactively.
