I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've just found out that I'm pregnant. I've been using a Levolin inhaler for my asthma, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Can I keep using this inhaler during my pregnancy, or should I look into other treatment options?

Congratulations on your pregnancy! While Levolin (salbutamol) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, it's important to consult your doctor to assess your specific needs. They may recommend adjusting your medication or dosage based on your asthma control and pregnancy status.

Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?

The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.
