I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?

It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant, and my cervical length is showing up as 3.5 cm. I'm kind of worried and curious to know what the ideal cervical length should be for a vaginal delivery. Also, is there anything like exercises or other ways to increase cervical length, or should I even be thinking about that?

A cervical length of 3.5 cm at 39 weeks is actually considered good enough for a vaginal delivery. Ideally, a cervical length of 30-40 mm (or 3-4 cm) at 20 weeks is considered normal for a vaginal delivery. As for increasing cervical length, it's not something you can directly control. However, maintaining a healthy pregnancy through regular prenatal care, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated can support overall cervical health.

I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test
