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've been dealing with a recurring vaginal yeast infection. I was diagnosed with vaginitis three months back and the doctor prescribed me FAS 3 kit for one day, Cansoft CL for three nights, and I'm still using VWash. I felt better after two weeks, but the problem didn't completely go away. I took another dose of FAS 3 kit and saw my gynecologist a month later. She advised me to drink plenty of fluids and maintain good hygiene. But I've noticed the infection flares up again after my periods. Is it okay to take another dose of fluconazole? How can I get rid of this issue for good? I'm really concerned about this.

If they worsen, spread, or become severely itchy, seek medical attention. 3. *Contact the plasma donation center*: Reach out to the plasma donation center where you donated and inform them about the reaction. They may be able to provide guidance or offer to cover medical expenses related to the reaction. *When to Seek Medical Attention* If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention: 1. *Severe symptoms*: If the rash, itching, or bumps become severe, or if you experience difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness. 2. *Infection signs*: If you notice signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. 3. *Worsening symptoms*: If your symptoms worsen or don't improve with self-care.

I'm really concerned about my internal os being open in a U shape as shown in my anomaly scan. The doctors mentioned that getting a cervical stitch might be risky because the sac is already in the opening. Do you think that this opening could naturally close if I stick to bed rest for a few days? Its been stressing me out, and I would really appreciate some advice on what I should do next.
yes
