I'm currently in my first month of pregnancy and I'm taking folic acid and Duphaston 10mg tablets right now. I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe and beneficial to take Duphaston during pregnancy. Do you have any recommendations or advice on this?

Just got another USG report and it's attached here. Could you take a look and let me know if surgery is really necessary or if there are other treatment options we could try? Really unsure about the next steps here.

My vaginal opening is really tight and sex is painful when trying to insert. The doctor mentioned I might need a minor procedure, but I'm wondering if there are other options like medications or non-surgical treatments that could help first

Vaginismus is an involuntary tensing of the vagina. People experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. Vaginismus can make intercourse painful (dyspareunia). Kegels, vaginal dilators and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help relax muscles and stop spasms.
