View allI'm finding that I'm getting really wet during sex, and it's not as pleasurable for us. Is this normal? What could be causing it, and are there any remedies or things we can try to manage this?
Excessive wetness during sex can be normal for some people, but if it's causing discomfort or reducing pleasure, it could be due to factors like hormonal changes, anxiety, or over-stimulation. It's important to communicate with your partner and consider using a water-based lubricant if dryness is an issue. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for a more tailored solution.

I'm 3 months pregnant and just found out I have an 8 cm posterior wall uterine fibroid. Is this dangerous? Do I need urgent surgery? I'm hoping to have another baby in the future, and my first delivery was a C-section. If I do need surgery, I'm worried about having multiple procedures like removing the fibroid first, then another for the baby, and maybe even a hysterectomy later. That would mean 4 surgeries in my lifetime. What should I do?
myomectomy is advised,gynaec opinion is advised.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just had a growth scan that showed my amniotic fluid index is 22.2 cm. The doctor mentioned it's a bit high and suggested I get some blood tests done, like fbs and ppbs. They also said the baby's abdominal circumference is slightly above average. Does this mean I might have gestational diabetes? And what kind of diet should I be considering right now? Everything else with the baby's weight seems normal, so I'm just trying to understand what all this means.
An Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 22.2 cm is indeed high, and the slightly above-average abdominal circumference may indicate fetal macrosomia; however, gestational diabetes diagnosis requires confirmation through FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) tests; if diagnosed, follow a balanced diet with complex carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and minimal sugar intake, and consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
