View allI've been really concerned since my partner started taking cerazette for birth control. She's had this persistent lower abdomen pain that's off and on but it's definitely noticeable. It's been a month now, and not only is she experiencing a lot of pain, but also there's spotting and she hasn't gotten her regular period. Is this normal? The pain really seems like too much for her to go about her usual day. Can you advise on what might be happening or what we should do next?
That could be incomplete abortion or septic abortion visit your Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I recently found out I have HSV1, but I tested negative for HSV2. I think my partner also has HSV1 and not HSV2. If he performs oral sex on me when he's not having an outbreak, is there a chance I'd end up with HSV2 genital herpes, or would it just be HSV1 genital herpes?
Since you and your partner both have HSV-1, the risk of transmitting HSV-1 to your genitals through oral sex is present, but you will not contract HSV-2; if infected, you may develop genital herpes caused by HSV-1, which tends to be less severe and less likely to recur compared to HSV-2.

I'm a bit worried and confused. My girlfriend told me she's a virgin, but when we had sex, there was no blood. I know that's normal sometimes, but it also felt like her vagina was loose. Even when I tried using two fingers, it still seemed loose. Is it possible for a virgin girl to have a loose vagina?
Yes, a virgin girl can still have a loose vagina due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, physical activities, or medical conditions, as virginity is not solely determined by vaginal tightness or looseness.
