Question 1

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.

Accepted Answer

The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring

Question 2

I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

Question 3

I've been noticing that every 23 days or so, I seem to have an issue with semen excretion happening at night. It's starting to worry me a bit. Is there something I should be doing or any solutions that might help?

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about something. I had sex with a condom with a commercial sex worker, and there was some kind of cut or abrasion on my penis shaft inside the condom. The condom didn't break or slip during sex, but I'm anxious about the risk of HIV...

Accepted Answer

There is minimal risk,but try to avoid having sex until your wound is healed,and get yourself tested for HIV every 6 months once.

Question 5

I'm pregnant, and my doctor recommended I take the Sifasi HP 5000 IU injection twice a week. I'm a bit worried and curious about what this injection does during pregnancy and if it's safe to have it this often. Can you help me understand this better?

Question 6

I'm having some discomfort during intercourse because my frenulum feels really tight and it hurts when my foreskin stretches. Is there any way to loosen the frenulum? Would love some advice on this.

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing frenulum breve, which is a condition where the frenulum (the band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is tight and causes pain during erection. One option to help loosen the frenulum is by using a topical steroid cream, such as Betamethasone cream. You can apply a small amount of Betamethasone cream to the tight frenulum twice a day for several weeks to help loosen it. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.
