I'm really concerned because my girlfriend is a virgin, and when we tried to have sex yesterday, I could only insert about 14 centimeters before something seemed to be blocking it. Gently moving further was painful for her, and it felt like something was obstructing. What could this be? Can you help us understand what's going on and what we should do?

Can drinking turmeric water really help prevent pregnancy or any pregnancy complications? I'm curious if it's something that could actually be effective or if there are any risks involved.

Turmeric water is not a reliable method for preventing pregnancy. It does not have any contraceptive properties. If you are looking for effective contraception, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss suitable options such as birth control pills, condoms, or intrauterine devices.

I had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago for an ectopic pregnancy, but I still get sharp pains sometimes where they did the surgery. Why is it still hurting like this?

Post-laparoscopy pain can persist due to adhesions, nerve sensitivity, or healing tissues. If worsening or accompanied by other symptoms, a follow-up pelvic ultrasound may be needed.
