Question 1

my wife's hsg test shows her left tube isn't working based on the report - do we absolutely need surgery for this or are there other options we should consider first

Accepted Answer

gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm still a virgin and I'm really curious about what to expect the first time I have intercourse. Does it hurt a lot and is bleeding normal? If it does bleed, how long should I expect that to last? Also, I've noticed I can insert a finger into my vaginadoes that mean I don't have a hymen anymore? I'd love some clarity on all this.

Accepted Answer

First-time intercourse can be painful and may cause bleeding due to hymenal tearing, but this varies from person to person; bleeding, if it occurs, usually lasts a few hours to a few days; being able to insert a single finger into the vagina doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a hymen, as hymens come in different shapes and sizes, and some may be more elastic or flexible.

Question 3

I've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.
