I'm currently using an inhaler called Budamate 200, and I'm just entering my first trimester of pregnancy. I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it during these early months. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Budamate 200, containing budesonide, is classified as a category C medication in pregnancy, meaning its safety is uncertain; however, studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids like budesonide are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when used at low to moderate doses, but consult gynaecologist

I'm really curious about whether oral contact with the vagina is actually healthy or if it might cause any health problems. Can engaging in this activity lead to any kind of issues?

Engaging in oral sex, including vaginal stimulation, is generally safe if both partners are healthy, consenting, and practice good hygiene. However, it can increase the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if proper precautions, such as using protection, are not taken. Maintaining personal hygiene and open communication with your partner is important for overall health and well-being.

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.

My mom is 47 and went through menopause at 41. Now, her ultrasound shows she has these nabothian cysts that are about 6mm, and her platelet count has dropped to 47,000, which seems really low. Plus, her ESR count is high. I'm really worried about what this all means for her health. What kind of problems could she be facing, and what treatments should we be considering?
