I'm just a bit concerned, could you help me out? My wife just had her regular scan, and the doctor says everything seems fine. The baby is now weighing in at 3.1kg, and she's just started her 9th month of pregnancy. Back in the beginning of the 8th month, the baby was 1.7kg. Is this weight of 3.1kg okay for a normal delivery? The doc mentioned the presentation is cephalic and that the liquid level is adequate. Just want to make sure everything's on track!

my mri report says i have a 66x57 mm fibroid in my cervix and i really don't want surgery are there other ways to treat this

Yes, options include hormonal therapy, uterine artery embolization, and MRI-guided focused ultrasound. But size and symptoms matter—surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) may be needed if severe.

I'm planning to have vaginal sex for the first time and I'm kind of nervous about which lubricant to use so it doesn't cause any irritation or pain. I've heard some can have side effects, and I'd really like to avoid that. Any advice on choosing the right one?

_Premature Ejaculation (PE): Understanding and Addressing Quick Discharge_ Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition where ejaculation occurs sooner than desired, often within 1-2 minutes of penetration. Since you've been experiencing this issue for 5 years, it's essential to understand the possible causes and explore treatment options. _Possible Causes:_ 1. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can contribute to PE. 2. *Neurological factors*: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine can affect ejaculation timing. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes, such as low testosterone, can impact ejaculation. 4. *Physical factors*: Prostate issues, urethritis, or skin conditions can cause PE. 5. *Lifestyle factors*: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or lack of physical activity can contribute to PE. _Treatment Options:_ 1. *Behavioral techniques*: Try the "stop-start" method, "squeeze" technique, or pelvic floor exercises to improve control. 2. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply creams or sprays containing lidocaine or benzocaine to reduce sensitivity. 3. *Oral medications*: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as dapoxetine, can help delay ejaculation. 4. *Counseling*: Address underlying psychological issues through therapy or counseling. 5. *Natural remedies*: Explore herbal supplements like ashwagandha, maca, or tribulus terrestris, which may help improve ejaculation control. _Consult a Healthcare Professional:_ Discuss your symptoms with a urologist, sexologist, or a primary care physician to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan. Remember, premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. With patience, persistence, and the right guidance, you can improve your ejaculation control and enhance your overall sexual well-being.
