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 a bit worried since my wife is just 7 weeks pregnant and her doctor has suggested she take ecosprin 150 every night before bed. Is it really okay to start this medication so early in the pregnancy? It's our second baby, and everything has been smooth so far, no complications or miscarriages or anything.

is there any health issues, refer to gynecologist.

I'm feeling really unsure and need some advice. My girlfriend got pregnant back in January 2018, and we decided to go for an abortion. She's O negative and I'm B positive, so the doctor gave her an anti-D injection back then. Now, she's pregnant again in June 2018, and we're considering another abortion because we're not ready for a baby. I'm a bit worried and wondering if she needs another anti-D injection this time. Also, what's the best way to go about the abortion safely? Would love some guidance on this.
