Can doing oral sex give you throat cancer?

Yes. There is one type of sexually transmitted infection (STI) called human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause cancer. HPV is a virus, and can live in your throat, vaginal region, anus, and penis. HPV has many different strains, and some strains can cause cancer. HPV has been found to cause cancer in the throat, vagina, cervix, vulva, anus, and penis. HPV actually causes 70% of all throat cancers, so it's super important to use protection! We can protect ourselves from this

How does Plan B work?

The Plan B/ the"morning after" pill/emergency contraception contains the hormone levonorgestrel (a progestin) which can stop the person taking it from ovulating, block fertilization and/or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Plan B must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure - including condom breakage - but is more effective the sooner it is taken. A pregnancy test is the only way to confirm whether or not Plan B has been effect

Can Clitoris have erections?

In short, yes. The clitoris is not just what is externally visible, but extends back into the body. When aroused, blood rushes to the tissue that makes up the clit (which is developed from the same tissue that develops into a penis), causing it to become swelled with blood. This is the process of a clitoral erection. The clit is extra sensitive and has high pleasure potential in this state.

Which ovary releases an egg each month?

Usually one egg is released each cycle, and the ovaries alternate releasing that egg. So, if one cycle the right ovary releases an egg, the next cycle the left ovary releases an egg.

Is it normal to suddenly start bleeding more on your period?

Your period can fluctuate a lot in frequency, duration, and heaviness, especially in the first few years of getting your period. A lot of different factors can change your period: stress, diet and exercise, medications, and more. However, if you have a sudden heavy period, when your period is usually not that way, it could be due to a medical condition.
