Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There is no risk of pregnancy as sex just prior to expected periods cannot cause pregnancy as there is no egg in female body to form a baby.
Plus she took emergency pill and even had periods.
Nothing to worry.
The decrease in flow and duration of periods is because of levonorgestrel effect and nothing related to pregnancy.
Take care

Doctor she did fingering. After that she had bleeding past 3 days just 3 or 4 drops when she s urinating .. sometimes light spotting .. whether that's due to fingering or straining during work or any other problem..

Brief Answer:
Due to fingering

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, this can be due to fingering only most likely and nothing else but in case this persists for another couple of days then ask her to get her examined from a gynecologist for any local lesion in vagina.

She has pain over there in vagina region.. she had intercourse for first time.. whether if we go to gynaecologist will they find that we had sex..

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (16 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Pain is due to hymenal rupture

Detailed Answer:
Pain in vaginal area is common after first time sexual activity as there occurs hymenal rupture following Penetration of penis.
So nothing much to worry as a simple pain killer will suffice.
No need to visit a gynecologist but in case you do then she will very well guess that you have been sexually active.

But just few strokes we had.. even she didn't have bleeding due to hymen rupture.. hymen rupture can be due to physical exercise also right.. will it take time for hymen to cure.. as that in future gynaecologist can't find it that she s sexually active..

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (40 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Yes it can be due to exercise

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear hymenal rupture can occur with exercise and thus seeing a healed hymen cannot tell if it is due to intercourse or physical exertion.
Thus just take simple painkiller and she will be fine.
Bleeding is not a dictum after hymen rupture so don't relate them.
It will heal in 3-5 days so will be fine
