I'm wondering about the safety of using an expired lubricating gel like Lubic Jelly with my wife. It expired back in December 2018, and we don't have sex very often. Is it still okay to use it, or should we be concerned about any potential risks?

Using expired lubricating gel is not recommended, as it may lose its effectiveness and could potentially cause irritation or infections. For both your safety, it's best to discard the expired product and replace it with a new one.

I'm dealing with this constant tingling sensation in my anus and vagina, and it's really messing with my focus at work and even my sleep. Washing the area after urinating gives me some short relief, and sitting down after I've been walking or standing for long periods helps a bit too. I'm wondering if there are any natural remedies or maybe an ayurvedic solution that could help with this?

try drinking plenty of water to help flush out any potential infection. You can also try taking cranberry supplements or drinking cranberry juice to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter antifungal creams like Clotrimazole for vaginal itching and discomfort. Make sure to maintain good hygiene practices and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry and clean. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Does frequent sex make the clitoris grow larger over time and if so are there any surgical options to reduce its size if it becomes uncomfortable

No, frequent sex does not typically cause the clitoris to grow larger over time. The clitoris naturally increases in size during sexual arousal and returns to its normal size afterward. Enlarged clitorises, also known as clitoromegaly, can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, or differences in sexual development
