I'm experiencing some issues with lubrication during sex, and it's started just in the last 15 days. My partner and I got married 6 months ago, and everything was fine until recently. It's a bit worrying, and I'm not sure what might be causing it or how to fix it. Could there be any specific reasons for this change, or should we try something specific to help?

It's common to experience lubrication issues due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. I recommend trying water-based lubricants for comfort and discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes, like hormonal imbalances or dryness. Open communication with your partner can also help reduce stress during intimacy.

I'm wondering about taking fluconazole 150mg. Is it something I can take every day, or should there be days between doses? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

The prescribed dose of fluconazole 150mg is typically taken as a single dose for vaginal yeast infections, or every 3-4 days for 2-3 doses for skin and mucous membrane infections, but for other conditions like ringworm, dosage may vary,

I'm pregnant and I've heard that aspirin is safe to take. Can you tell me how many weeks I should be taking it? Should I take it for the entire 9 months or just part of the pregnancy? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Aspirin is not recommended for routine use during pregnancy, but low-dose aspirin (60-100 mgday) may be prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions, such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction, typically after 12-16 weeks of gestation and under close medical supervision; however, it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and other complications, especially in the third trimester.
