I'm four months pregnant and I'm wondering if having sex with precautions is safe during this stage. Can you give me some guidance on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, sex is generally safe during the fourth month of pregnancy as long as there are no complications and both partners are comfortable. It is important to use precautions to ensure safety for both the mother and the baby. You can use water-based lubricants and try different positions to ensure comfort. However, it is always recommended to consult with your obstetrician for personalized advice. In terms of precautions, it is important to avoid any pressure on the abdomen, use gentle movements, and communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort. If there are any concerns or complications, it is best to abstain from sex and consult with your healthcare provider.

View allI'm experiencing some issues with lubrication during sex, and it's started just in the last 15 days. My partner and I got married 6 months ago, and everything was fine until recently. It's a bit worrying, and I'm not sure what might be causing it or how to fix it. Could there be any specific reasons for this change, or should we try something specific to help?
It's common to experience lubrication issues due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. I recommend trying water-based lubricants for comfort and discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes, like hormonal imbalances or dryness. Open communication with your partner can also help reduce stress during intimacy.

I had a myomectomy surgery five months ago to remove fibroids and now I'm trying to conceive. Recently, I got a follicular scan done on day 10 of my cycle, and the report showed echogenic endometrium. What does echogenic endometrium mean? Does it indicate my uterus hasn't fully healed yet? My endometrium thickness was 8.2mm is that normal for this stage?
An "echogenic endometrium" on a follicular scan means the uterine lining appears brighter or more reflective on ultrasound, indicating it may have some tissue or structures that are not typically present at that stage of the menstrual cycle. While a 5-month period is generally considered a sufficient healing time after myomectomy, the uterus is still recovering, and an echogenic endometrium could be linked to residual scarring or tissue changes from the surgery. An 8.2mm endometrium thickness at day 10 of your cycle is generally considered within the normal range for this stage.

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
