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 a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis

I'm a 20-year-old girl and I've been having some irritation in my private area. This year on February 29th, I had my first sexual experience with my partner. At first, he didn't use a condom, but then he did for the rest. It was really painful, and I even bled a bit. After about 5 minutes the pain stopped and I started to enjoy it. I took some emergency contraception because I was worried about pregnancy. But the day after, the pain came back. Then we had sex again with a condom on March 4th, and I ended up taking emergency contraception again. About 15 days after that, I started experiencing the pain more regularly, especially on days I wear tight jeans. Is this normal or should I be worried?
,it may be Vulvodynia, a unexplained pain or discomfort in the vulva(vaginal opening) area that typically strikes women between ages 18 and 25 and lasts more than three months. Symptoms include chronic burning, stinging, knifelike pain, rawness or irritation that comes and goes. The pain can interfere with sex, tampon insertion, and even make wearing undergarments or pants intolerable. So next time avoid tight jeans,, practice foreplay before sex and Vagina need to be ready (wet with vaginal secretion) before insertion of penis. Taking I pill also cause irregular pain and bleeding for many days or even weeks,, please avoid them next time, use condoms or Copper - T for unwanted pregnancy. And bleeding and pain after first time sex is common due to hymen tear.

I'm a bit concerned after finishing my medication with the abortion pill because I'm 4 weeks pregnant and it's been 3 days since I took the misoprostol, but I've only had some spotting and not much bleeding. Does this mean the abortion process isn't complete? I also still feel mild cramps like I'm on my period sometimes. Could you help clarify this for me?
After 48 hrs of taking Mesoprostol,you will see proper clots falling out,if at all those were not seen,only spotting is noted,thatis incomplete abortion,get a scan done for fetal viability and visit gynaecologist for appropriate approach
