I'm newly married and have been experiencing a lot of cuts near my vagina during sex. It's really painful and I'm not sure what to do to help these wounds heal. Can you give me some advice on how to treat them?

As a newly married individual experiencing painful cuts near the vagina during sex, prioritize your comfort and health by trying the following: apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing; take warm baths with baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to soothe the area; use a lubricant during sex to reduce friction; practice gentle and gradual intimacy; and consider consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment

I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?
-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.
