I'm really worried because I've been experiencing reduced sexual arousal for about 34 months now. Also, I've been taking medication for PCOD for the past 6 months, and my periods never come on their own anymoreI have to rely on that medication. Lately, I've also been dealing with vaginal dryness during intercourse, along with severe hair loss and persistent weakness. What could be causing all these issues?

It sounds like youre experiencing a combination of symptoms, including reduced sexual arousal, vaginal dryness, hair loss, and weakness, which could be related to your PCOD and the medications you're taking. Hormonal imbalances in PCOD can affect sexual function and cause dryness. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, who may adjust your treatment plan or explore additional solutions to manage these issues.

Is amniotic fluid sticky?

Amniotic fluid shouldn't have a sticky consistency. If you notice something sticky or a thick whitish residue in your underwear, it's unlikely to be your waters. It is more likely to be heavy vaginal discharge or signs of your mucus plug.

I'm just a bit concerned, could you help me out? My wife just had her regular scan, and the doctor says everything seems fine. The baby is now weighing in at 3.1kg, and she's just started her 9th month of pregnancy. Back in the beginning of the 8th month, the baby was 1.7kg. Is this weight of 3.1kg okay for a normal delivery? The doc mentioned the presentation is cephalic and that the liquid level is adequate. Just want to make sure everything's on track!
