I'm really worried about something that happened with my friend. Her boyfriend fingered her, and she's freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. They aren't sure if there might have been anything on his fingers. Can you explain if pregnancy is possible from fingering in this situation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is highly unlikely that pregnancy would occur from fingering, as sperm would need to be directly introduced into the vagina for fertilization to happen. However, if there is a possibility that semen was on the fingers and they were introduced into the vagina, it's still a very low risk, but I would recommend speaking to a healthcare provider for further reassurance and guidance.

View allI'm planning to have vaginal sex for the first time and I'm kind of nervous about which lubricant to use so it doesn't cause any irritation or pain. I've heard some can have side effects, and I'd really like to avoid that. Any advice on choosing the right one?
_Premature Ejaculation (PE): Understanding and Addressing Quick Discharge_ Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition where ejaculation occurs sooner than desired, often within 1-2 minutes of penetration. Since you've been experiencing this issue for 5 years, it's essential to understand the possible causes and explore treatment options. _Possible Causes:_ 1. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can contribute to PE. 2. *Neurological factors*: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine can affect ejaculation timing. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes, such as low testosterone, can impact ejaculation. 4. *Physical factors*: Prostate issues, urethritis, or skin conditions can cause PE. 5. *Lifestyle factors*: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or lack of physical activity can contribute to PE. _Treatment Options:_ 1. *Behavioral techniques*: Try the "stop-start" method, "squeeze" technique, or pelvic floor exercises to improve control. 2. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply creams or sprays containing lidocaine or benzocaine to reduce sensitivity. 3. *Oral medications*: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as dapoxetine, can help delay ejaculation. 4. *Counseling*: Address underlying psychological issues through therapy or counseling. 5. *Natural remedies*: Explore herbal supplements like ashwagandha, maca, or tribulus terrestris, which may help improve ejaculation control. _Consult a Healthcare Professional:_ Discuss your symptoms with a urologist, sexologist, or a primary care physician to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan. Remember, premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. With patience, persistence, and the right guidance, you can improve your ejaculation control and enhance your overall sexual well-being.

Which exercise is best for irregular periods?
Exercise is an effective way to maintain a healthy weight. Because being overweight can cause irregular periods, reducing weight may make periods more regular. Any kind of aerobic exercise, walking, jogging, running, yoga are good. What's important is to have a regular exercise, not the type of exercise.
