Question 1

My partner and I have noticed that during sex, initially, theres a lot of tightness, but then it seems to loosen after a few seconds. Is this a common thing, or should we be worried? I'd love to understand why this happens and if there's something we should do?

Accepted Answer

This could be due to **erectile dysfunction** or difficulty maintaining an erection, which may be linked to stress, anxiety, fatigue, or medical conditions like poor blood flow or hormonal imbalances. A consultation with a doctor is important to assess the underlying cause and explore treatment options.

Question 2

I'm curious about something: I've got PCOD and my doctor told me to take Duphaston starting from the 16th day of my cycle for 10 days. I've been consistent with taking two tablets each day since day 16, but now it's been about six days since I stopped and I haven't gotten my period yet. There's no chance I'm pregnant since there wasn't any intercourse. Do you know what might be going on and what steps I should take next?

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had my periods for the last two months, and my doctor told me to take Duphaston 10mg for ten days. It's only been two days since I stopped taking the pills. I'm curious to know when I should expect my period to start. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

-it's common to get your period within 3-7 days after stopping Duphaston, though it can vary a little. If you dont get your period within a week, follow up with your doctor to check for any underlying issues. Take care and dont stressits often

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just got my anomaly scan done today. I'm a bit worried about whether everything looks normal. Is a fetal heart rate of 159 bpm okay or is it on the higher side?

Based on typical fetal development, at 22 weeks, normal parameters include a fetal heart rate between 110-160 bpm, so 159 bpm is within the normal range
