Question

I've recently been diagnosed with chlamydia and they prescribed me 500 mg of Azithromycin. I'm 51 years old and weigh 105 lbs. I've been reading that most people are given 1000 mg for treatment. Should I be concerned that I wasn't given the right dosage to cure it? Is this normal or should I reach back out to my doctor?

Be rest assured, your doctor prescribed you the dose that you require. Do not see internet threads. Your doctor knows better. AZYTHROMYCIN is typically given at 500 mg for adults over 18 yrs... So it's appropriate dose for you.

Question

I've been having trouble enjoying sex and reaching orgasm. It's becoming a bit frustrating. What can I do to make things more exciting and actually have a good orgasm with my partner?

Question

I'm really worried about what's happening with me and my husband. We've been having great sex for a year, but lately, it's like he can't fully enter me. It feels like there's something blocking or that I'm just too tight, and he also says it feels different and is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful for him. Could this be related to the fungal infection I had last month? What can we do about this?

Question

I'm really concerned because my girlfriend is a virgin, and when we tried to have sex yesterday, I could only insert about 14 centimeters before something seemed to be blocking it. Gently moving further was painful for her, and it felt like something was obstructing. What could this be? Can you help us understand what's going on and what we should do?
