After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.

I have a bartholin abscess and my doctor said surgery might be the only option but I'm really hoping there are medicines that could help instead what treatments or meds could work for this?

I'm kind of worried because it's been almost a month since I had sex with my girlfriend, and she still hasn't gotten her period. I read that sometimes cycles can be late, so I'm trying not to panic yet. But, just in case she is pregnant, I was wondering if there's a way to prevent it aside from abortion, which honestly seems really scary. Are there any other options we should consider?

A sudden appearance of a lump or swelling on the penis can be alarming. Possible causes include: Injury or trauma during sex Infection (e.g., balanitis) Inflammation (e.g., phimosis) Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Seek medical attention from a urologist or a primary care physician as soon as possible. Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, and refrain from sexual activity until you receive a proper evaluation and guidance.
