I'm worried about whether it's necessary to remove the frenulum to get my partner pregnant. I have mine intact and I really don't want to remove it. Could you give me some advice on this?

The frenulum is a small fold of mucous membrane that connects the lip to the gum. Removing it, also known as a frenectomy, is sometimes recommended for pregnant women, but it's not always necessary.
Reasons for frenectomy during pregnancy:
- Frenulum attachment: If the frenulum is too tight or attached too close to the teeth, it can cause tension on the gum and lead to recession or separation of the gum from the tooth.
- Gum recession: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause gum inflammation and recession. A frenectomy might be recommended to reduce the risk of gum recession.
- Oral hygiene: A tight frenulum can make it difficult to clean the area between the teeth and gum, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues.
Alternatives to frenectomy:
If you're not comfortable with the idea of removing your frenulum, discuss the following alternatives with your dentist or healthcare provider:
- Improved oral hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
- Gum massage: Gently massage your gums to improve blood flow and reduce tension.

They're in dark and light patches and spots, especially on my chest, waist, the sides of private areas, my back, and even my right leg below the knee. Theyre also under my left armpit and I get light dark spots on my face. What can I do to treat these scars? Are there any soaps or creams you'd recommend for long-term use?

I'm having this issue with my tailbone where there's this acne or pimple-like bump that leaks some kind of fluid. It's been messing with how I sit every day because it's painful, especially during long periods. Do you think it's a cyst or something like that? I'm just really concerned and would love some insight into what might be going on.
A painful, fluid-excreting bump on the tailbone area could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or infected acne, and it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably A general surgeon, for a proper diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.
