I'm really worried about this personal issue I'm experiencing with my girlfriend. After I finger her, there's a bad smell coming from her vagina and on my hand. She doesn't have any vaginal infections or itching, but this has been happening for the last three months. It wasn't like this before, so I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to affect our relationship. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what we can do about it?

It could be due to bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition where there is an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina, leading to a fishy odor. I recommend your girlfriend to use Metronidazole gel 0.75% applied intravaginally once daily for 5 days. This will help to restore the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and alleviate the bad smell. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands before and after sexual activity, can also help prevent the recurrence of this issue.

View allI'm curious about the safety of oral sex with my partner. We've never been with anyone else, and we're both in good health. We're interested in exploring this intimately in our marriage, but we want to know if it's safe for our health, especially since we're quite health-conscious. Could you advise us on this?
Oral sex is generally safe for a healthy, monogamous couple with no history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Since both of you are medically fit, there is minimal health risk. Maintaining good hygiene and regular health check-ups ensures it remains a safe and enjoyable part of your intimacy.

I'm currently pregnant and dealing with some diarrhea. I've heard about Lactic Acid Bacillus and I'm wondering if it's safe for me and the baby. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Given your father's medical report and ongoing symptoms, here are some suggestions for further action: *Medication Review* 1. *Re-evaluate current medication*: Consult your father's doctor to review his current medication regimen. Adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication might help alleviate symptoms. 2. *Combination therapy*: Consider combining medications, such as alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., Finasteride), to address both urinary symptoms and prostate enlargement. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Fluid management*: Encourage your father to drink fluids in moderation, avoiding excessive intake, especially before bedtime. 2. *Urination habits*: Suggest that your father: - Urinate when he first feels the need, rather than delaying. - Take his time while urinating to ensure the bladder is fully emptied. - Avoid straining or pushing during urination. 3. *Pelvic floor exercises*: Kegel exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving urinary control. 4. *Dietary modifications*: Encourage your father to avoid or reduce: - Caffeine and spicy foods, which can irritate the bladder. - Foods high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, which can exacerbate prostate issues. *Further Evaluation* 1. *Urodynamic tests*: These tests can help assess bladder function, urine flow, and pressure. 2. *Cystoscopy*: A visual examination of the bladder and urethra to rule out any obstruction or other issues. 3. *Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test*: To monitor prostate health and detect any potential issues.

Which ovary produces a girl?
There are few persons who believe that, the ovary of the right side yields ova which on fertilization develop as males, and the ovary of the left side yields ova which are potentially female but it is not scientifically proven. Development of female or male child depends on chromosome (X or Y) from father's sperm.
