Could you help me understand why my wife might be experiencing less sexual performance? Are there any specific women's sex tablets, like women Viagra, that you could recommend? I'm looking for some better options and would really appreciate your advice on this.

Reduced sexual performance or desire in women can have many causes, including stress, hormonal changes, or relationship factors. A commonly prescribed option is flibanserin (Addyi), sometimes referred to as "female Viagra," which may help increase sexual desire in premenopausal women. It's important to consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and explore safe and effective treatments tailored to individual needs.

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and recently moved to stay with my mom. My new doctor here advised me not to take Ecosprin, but my previous doctor had prescribed me Ecosprin 150 mg after my double marker test showed something about FGR before 37 weeks with a 1 in 643 ratio. Now, I'm confused about whether I should continue taking Ecosprin or not, and if I do take it, when should I stop? I'm really unsure about what to do and would appreciate your guidance.

It's understandable to feel confused. Given your doctor's advice to stop Ecosprin, its important to follow the current recommendation. The initial prescription of Ecosprin might have been due to specific risk factors, but if your new doctor feels it's not necessary, trust their expertise. You can clarify the exact timing for stopping the medication during your next appointment.

Does the period cycle change due to the weather change?

I'm really worried because I had a small amount of precum on my hand, and I wiped it off. But then, after a few minutes, I used that finger to touch my girlfriend's vagina. We're both virgins, and I'm not sure if this can make her pregnant. Could she be at risk?

The chance of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low, especially if there was minimal precum and no ejaculation. However, if you both are still concerned or if her period is delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test after about 2 weeks. For future peace of mind, consider using contraception during any sexual activity to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.
