Can I use coconut parachute oil as a lubricant for masturbation? Is it safe, or are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, are there any other oils that might be better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Coconut oil, including parachute coconut oil, can be used as a lubricant, as it's generally safe for external use. However, it may cause irritation or disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora for some people. It's important to test it on a small area of skin first, and if you experience discomfort, consider using a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intimate use.

Found out I have a 6mm kidney stone and I'm really worried do I need surgery or can drinking lots of water help pass it naturally? What should I do next to manage this?
A 6mm kidney stone may be difficult to pass naturally and might require medical intervention, but drinking plenty of water can help. While a 6mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own compared to smaller stones, increased hydration can still help. Consult a doctor to discuss treatment options, which may include medical management or surgery.
