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.

I've just finished a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, and it's been four days since then, but I still haven't got my period. How long is it usually supposed to take after finishing the medication for periods to start? Should I be concerned?

After taking a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, it is common to experience a delay in the onset of your menstrual period. Typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-7 days after finishing the course of Deviry. If you have not started your period within a week after completing the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
