View allI'm really struggling with growing my beard and moustache, and it's starting to worry me a bit. Could you give me some advice on what might help them grow in better? I'm just looking for something simple that could make a difference.
If you are looking to promote beard and mustache growth, you can consider using minoxidil solution 5%. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily directly on the affected areas of the face. It may take several weeks to months to see visible results, so consistency is key. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals can also support hair growth.

I'm wondering about having sex with my wife since I have HSV-2, which causes genital herpes. I really don't want her to get infected, so what would you recommend we do?
It is important to take precautions to prevent the transmission of HSV-2 to your wife. You can discuss with your doctor about starting antiviral medication such as Valacyclovir (Valtrex) to reduce the risk of transmission. It is also recommended to use condoms consistently and to avoid sexual activity during outbreaks or if you have any symptoms. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and communication with your partner about your condition are important steps to protect your wife from infection.
