Question 1

I was with my boyfriend on December 31st and we got intimate, but there was no penetration and no ejaculation near my vagina. Could just rubbing our genitals lead to pregnancy? It's been five days and I'm feeling a little tightness in my lower belly. Could this just be anxiety or stress? My last period started on December 20th. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Rubbing genitals without penetration and ejaculation near the vagina typically doesn't lead to pregnancy, but there's a very small risk if sperm comes in contact with the vaginal area. The tightness you're feeling could be due to anxiety, especially since your period was only a week ago. If you're concerned, taking a home pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare provider can help ease your mind.

Question 2

I'm really curious about whether masturbation is actually good or bad for my health. I've come across some old texts that mention the importance of preserving semen, and it's got me thinking. If it is okay to masturbate, how many times should I be do...

Accepted Answer

Masturbation, when done in moderation, is generally considered a normal and healthy activity. It doesn't harm physical health and can even help reduce stress. Ancient texts may emphasize semen retention, but from a modern medical perspective, there is no need to worry about "semen loss" from occasional masturbation. It's essential to maintain balance, and frequency can vary individuallyusually, 2-3 times a week is typical, but it should always be based on personal comfort and well-being.

Question 4

I've just turned 23 and I'm a bit worried because I'm missing my periods. Today marks the 8th day they should have started, but there's nothing yet. It's unusual for me since I haven't experienced a delay like this in the past three years. The only t...

Accepted Answer

Its possible that your period is delayed due to stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal fluctuations, especially since youve had a minor delay last month. Since your pregnancy test was negative and youve had protected sex, there's likely no need to worry. Its normal for occasional delays to happen, but if the delay continues or you have other concerns, its a good idea to consult with your doctor.

Question 5

I'm dealing with a tight foreskin problem. It's really not soft, and when my penis is erect, it feels hard, and I can't fully pull it back. I'm a bit worried about this. Can you suggest any treatments or options for this issue?

Accepted Answer

You're experiencing symptoms of phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted; treatment options include topical steroid creams like betamethasone to loosen the skin, manual stretching exercises, or in severe cases, circumcision or preputioplasty surgery, so consult a urologist

Question 6

I've been worried about traveling on the bumpy roads in Bangalore since I'm 22 weeks pregnant. I need to travel 14km each way to work by bus, and it feels like there's a jerk, pothole, or bump every 10 seconds. I chose the bus over a car or auto thin...

Yes you are not supposed to travel on such roads, better to avoid if not , that could lead to serious problems
