I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

View allMy wife is struggling with vaginal dryness, and it's becoming a bit of an issue for us when it comes to our intimacy. Could you recommend a good vaginal lubricant that we can pick up at the local pharmacy?
This is often the result of not enough foreplay. Insufficient lubrication is also commonly caused by a drop in estrogen levels after menopause, after childbirth or during breast-feeding. Certain medications are known to inhibit desire or arousal, which can decrease lubrication and make sex painful. These include antidepressants, high blood pressure medications, sedatives, antihistamines and certain birth control pills. This includes injury or irritation from an accident, pelvic surgery, female circumcision or a cut made during childbirth to enlarge the birth canal (episiotomy). An infection in your genital area or urinary tract can cause painful intercourse. Eczema or other skin problems in your genital area also can be the problem...Involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall (vaginismus) can make attempts at penetration...consult gynecologist they will help you further

I'm curious if there's any medication for women that can help enhance stamina and sustain performance when being intimate, maybe something to take an hour before. Also, is it advisable or safe to engage in intimacy four times a day, and are there specific drugs for that? I've been wondering about this and thought I'd ask.
For improving sexual stamina, some women may benefit from **l-arginine** supplements, which can enhance blood flow, or **ginseng** for increased energy. However, it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication or supplement, as individual needs and health conditions vary. Regular communication with a partner and relaxation techniques also play an important role in improving intimacy.
