I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to travel. If I can, would it be better to go by road or take a train? I'm really hoping to get some advice on how to travel safely at this stage of pregnancy.

View allI'm a 25-year-old woman and I've been having this really intense pain in my lower tummy right after I masturbate. Ive done all the testsSTD tests, ultrasound, and even a vaginal swaband everything has come back normal. Im super confused and a bit worried about what could be causing this pelvic pain, especially when it hits so hard every time. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
Masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life. Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.

I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.
It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.

I've been using Primolut N to push back my period a bit, but I'm having this light blood-like discharge. My periods aren't normal right now. Should I keep taking it? My doc told me to take two pills a day but seemed unsure since I started them a bit late. Can anyone give me a clear idea of what I should do next, maybe with a solution?
