So I've got a bit of a sensitive question. My friend just got married and she's kinda embarrassed but having some trouble staying wet during intercourse. She starts out fine for the first 10 minutes or so, but then it just seems to stop. Is this a cause for concern or is there something she can do to help with it?

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season.

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?

In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.
