I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing vaginal dryness or irritation. A good solution could be using a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and provide comfort during intercourse. If the issue persists, its best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

I'm a bit worried since my wife is just 7 weeks pregnant and her doctor has suggested she take ecosprin 150 every night before bed. Is it really okay to start this medication so early in the pregnancy? It's our second baby, and everything has been smooth so far, no complications or miscarriages or anything.

is there any health issues, refer to gynecologist.

Where does sperm go after hysterectomy?

Following hysterectomy, the remaining areas of your reproductive tract are separated from your abdominal cavity. Because of this, sperm has nowhere to go. It's eventually expelled from your body along with your normal vaginal secretions.

I'm really worried about getting my copper T removed. Is the procedure painful? Also, how much might I expect to pay for the removal? I could really use some advice.
