I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?

Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.

I'm 28 and still a virgin, but I'm worried about something. Is it possible for my vagina to become loose just because I'm getting older? I've heard that vaginas can get loose with age, and I'm wondering if this is true. Can you help clarify this for me?
