Pinworms can cause irritation and inflammation in the vaginal area in rare cases of heavy infestation. The parasite can travel from the anal area to the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic organs. This can lead to complications such as vaginitis and endometritis.So you have to take combination therapy with oral mebendazole (Vermox) and ivermectin (Stromectol

I've been wondering about something. My partner and I recently started having sex, we're not married, and we're doing it regularly a few times a week, including oral, vaginal, and anal. I know it might sound a bit awkward, but I'm curious if having sex that often could actually make my breast and butt size visibly larger? We always make sure to use condoms during penetration.

Engaging in sexual activity, including 3-4 times a week, does not directly increase breast or buttock size. These are influenced by genetics, hormones, and body composition rather than sexual activity. Using condoms during penetration is a great practice for safe sexkeep it up!
