I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing vaginal dryness or irritation. A good solution could be using a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and provide comfort during intercourse. If the issue persists, its best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

View allHey, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Orofer XT tonic for women. I've got low ferritin levels, but my hemoglobin is at 12. I came across a review that mentioned it could cause prolonged periods, and that kind of freaked me out. I don't have any symptoms at the moment. Can you help me figure out if it's okay for me to take it?
To prevent Rh incompatibility issues, administer Anti-D Immunoglobulin (Anti-D Ig) to the Rh-negative (O-) mother: - 1st dose: 300 mcg at 28-30 weeks of gestation - 2nd dose: 300 mcg within 72 hours of delivery (if baby is confirmed Rh-positive) This treatment helps prevent the mother's immune system from reacting to the baby's Rh-positive blood cells.

I have a 12cm fibroid in my uterus are there any medicine options to treat it without needing surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?
No,surgery is advised .Laparoscopic myomectomy or abdominal hysterectomy is advised to the patient. Laparoscopic procedure is minimal invasive procedure and abdominal hysterectomy is an extensive procedure involving larger incision to remove the fibroids.

My wife had an IUI on the 20th and 21st of August, and it's been about 15 days now, but she hasn't noticed any major pregnancy signs. The only thing is she's feeling a bit dizzy in the afternoons. Could you let us know when pregnancy symptoms usually start? We're just a bit anxious.
Hello, it's not unusual for pregnancy symptoms to vary or be absent in the early days. Dizziness could be related to hormonal changes, but it's not a definitive sign. I recommend waiting a couple more days and doing a pregnancy test if her period doesnt start. Wishing you the best!
