I'm planning to have my first-time intercourse and I'm really anxious about the potential pain. I've heard that lox 2 jelly might help with that, but is it actually safe to use in the vagina for the first time? Would it be effective, or could it cause any problems? I'm looking for some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it out.

Lox 2% jelly, which contains lidocaine, is a local anesthetic commonly used to numb the skin or mucous membranes. While it may reduce discomfort during intercourse, it's important to note that using it in the vaginal area for the first time could cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Its always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using any topical anesthetics to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your situation.

I'm expecting my period today or maybe tomorrow, but I'm thinking of taking Deviry 10mg twice a day right now to try and stop it. Will this definitely work? I'm just a bit unsure and want to know if it's the right thing to do.

it will work some time

Can someone with blocked fallopian tubes menstruate?

Yes, blocked fallopian tubes interfere with the passage of ovum and thus may lessen the chances of pregnancy. Menstruation occurs when one shreds a layer of uterus and blocked fallopian tubes may not interfere with it.

I'm really worried and a bit confused. If there's rubbing over the vagina with underwear on, and the underwear gets wet from precum or semen, could that cause pregnancy? I just need to understand how this works because it's been stressing me out.

While the chances of pregnancy in this scenario are low, it is still possible, especially if precum or semen comes into contact with the vaginal area. Sperm can swim and may lead to pregnancy if it reaches the vaginal canal. It is always advisable to use contraception to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.
