I'm really concerned about my friend's situation because his wife's vaginal area is too tight and it's making sex really difficult for them. He reached out to me for advice and I suggested they try a water-based lube since I had read about it online somewhere, but I'm not sure which one is the safest or most effective without side effects. What would you recommend for them?

Taking expired Augmentin may reduce its effectiveness, but it's unlikely to cause harm. However, as a breastfeeding mother, it's essential to consider the potential impact on your baby. Augmentin is generally considered safe for breastfeeding, but expired medication may affect its safety profile. Consult your healthcare provider or a lactation expert for personalized advice on continuing breastfeeding.

I've been having some trouble with my menstrual cycle after taking the ipill. My periods have become really irregular, and I even missed two cycles, but I'm definitely not pregnant. How can I get my periods back to normal? I'm starting to get a bit worried.
