I'm experiencing this strange feeling in my mouth; it's like the skin is tightening and my tongue feels really sensitive. Could this be some kind of infection from having oral sex, especially if my partner has a UTI or an STD?

The sensation of skin tightening and a sensitive tongue could be due to a variety of causes, including irritation, allergic reactions, or infections. While some STDs can affect the mouth, such as oral herpes or syphilis, a UTI is unlikely to cause these symptoms. Its best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm a bit worried about something going on with my wife. She's 18 weeks pregnant, and for the past month, she's been experiencing these shivers in the middle of the night, like once a week. They only last a short time, maybe 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. She feels really cold when it happens, but then shes back to normal pretty quickly. Is this something we should be concerned about? Its only happened twice, but I just want to make sure everything's okay. What do you think?

I'm noticing that on the third day of my period, there's either no flow or it's really light, and this has been happening for the past couple of months. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it just a normal variation?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Is traveling by train for six hours safe during the 7th week of pregnancy? I'm planning to do so this week and would love to hear your recommendations or any precautions I should take.

It is generally safe to travel by train during your 7th week of pregnancy, but be sure to take some precautions. Stay hydrated, avoid standing for long periods, and make sure to take breaks to stretch your legs. Also, pack snacks and any medications you may need. If you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to stop and rest.
