A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. If I perform oral sex on a guy and there's precum involved, and then we kiss, followed by him performing oral sex on me, can the precum transfer during the kiss and potentially lead to pregnancy?

I'm really concerned about my episiotomyit still causes me pain, even though it's been three years since I gave birth. It's particularly uncomfortable during my periods and when I'm having intercourse. Should I be worried that this pain hasn't gone away, and is there anything I can do to relieve it?

Episiotomy incision involves the wall of the vagina. Generally, the wall of the vagina is strong, but post surgical intervention, it may weaken. It is important to maintain vaginal wall muscle strength through Kegel's Exercises. Do these everyday to improve muscle strength. If the pain persists, please visit a gynecologist for further evaluation.
