View allI'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows threaded. Could it affect the baby in any way?
Threading your eyebrows during pregnancy, specifically at 21 weeks, is generally considered safe for the baby, as it's a superficial procedure that doesn't involve any chemicals or invasive techniques that could harm the fetus; however, it's essential to ensure the threading salon follows proper hygiene and sanitation procedures to minimize the risk of infection.

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.
