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 allI'm feeling really stressed out because I've been trying to have a baby for over a year now, and even though we're having intercourse almost every day, we haven't been successful. My husband's sperm test showed a count of 20 milml, and he's taking Addzoa supplements every afternoon. I'm confused about how much time we should wait between intercourse acts, especially during the middle of my cycle when I'm most fertile. I've had all my medical tests done, and everything looks fine, although I used to have irregular periods. I'm taking supplements for that, and they're regular now. Can you give me some guidance on how to increase my chances of conceiving? I'm really losing confidence.

My recent USG pelvis scan showed a uterine polyp and bilateral ovarian cysts. The doctor recommended having hysteroscopy and laparoscopy done together. Is it safe to get both surgeries at the same time? What are the pros and cons of combining them versus doing them separately?
To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.

I'm a bit worried here and could use some advice. So, my doctor had me do a follicular study, and at 24 mm, I received an HCG shot. My husband and I timed our intercourse for three days, and from the fourth day, I started taking Susten SR 200 daily for 10 days. On the eighth day of taking Susten, I tested positive for pregnancy, and its still positive after finishing the 10-days course. I stopped the Susten three days ago, but now I'm feeling mild cramps in my lower abdomen. Im concernedcould stopping Susten cause a miscarriage? I'm currently taking folic acid and a cyst-go tablet because I have PCOS and some hormonal imbalance. Could you please give me some guidance? My last menstrual period was on the 17th of May.
Mild cramping after stopping progesterone (Susten) does not necessarily mean theres a problem, but you should keep an eye on the symptoms. The pregnancy will likely progress well if your body is producing enough progesterone naturally at this stage. However, please continue regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your pregnancy and ensure that all is well.
