I'm really worried because when my husband and I try to have sex, it feels like his penis can't even go in a bit, like something's blocking it. We've tried multiple times with a lot of lube and foreplay but still, it's like he's hitting a wall. Sometimes he even asks if we're trying to insert it in the right place, but honestly, I'm not sure myself. Could something be going wrong?

The difficulty with penetration, despite adequate lubrication and foreplay, could be due to various factors, including vaginismus, pelvic floor muscle tension, or anatomical issues, such as a septate hymen or vaginal stenosis, and it's essential to consult preferably a gynecologist

I noticed a solid mass behind my left ovary measuring around 5 mm. Is surgery necessary for this or can it be dissolved with medication? What would you suggest?

A solid mass behind the ovary measuring 5mm, while concerning, does not automatically necessitate surgery. A doctor will likely recommend monitoring with ultrasound scans and blood tests to assess any changes over time. Medication is not typically used to dissolve solid masses, but hormonal birth control may be suggested if the mass is part of a cycle-related ovarian cyst and to prevent future cysts. If the mass grows, shows concerning characteristics, or causes symptoms, surgery might be needed, but it's not usually required for such a small solid mass
