Question 1

I'm planning to have my first-time intercourse and I'm really anxious about the potential pain. I've heard that lox 2 jelly might help with that, but is it actually safe to use in the vagina for the first time? Would it be effective, or could it cause any problems? I'm looking for some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it out.

Accepted Answer

Lox 2% jelly, which contains lidocaine, is a local anesthetic commonly used to numb the skin or mucous membranes. While it may reduce discomfort during intercourse, it's important to note that using it in the vaginal area for the first time could cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Its always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using any topical anesthetics to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your situation.

Question 2

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after an injection, I started bleeding and it took hours to stop, even though my platelets are fine. My doctor wants me to continue these injections for the whole nine months. Is this safe for such a long period? And if I decide to stop them, could it harm my baby? I'm worried and would love some clarity.

Accepted Answer

The prolonged use of Cutenox injections, containing low molecular weight heparin, for 9 months may increase the risk of osteoporosis, bleeding complications, and thrombocytopenia, and although generally considered safe during pregnancy, the frequent bleeding episodes and muscle hardening you're experiencing warrant a reevaluation of your treatment plan with your gynaecologist to weigh the benefits and risks and consider alternative options, as abruptly stopping the injections may not harm the baby, but a gradual transition or adjustment under medical guidance is recommended.

Question 3

How painful is hymen repair surgery and how long does recovery usually take? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect in terms of pain and downtime. Does it require general anesthesia or is local enough? Also, will I need to take time off work or avoid certain activities during healing?

Accepted Answer

Hymenoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia with mild discomfort post-op. Recovery takes about a week; you may need to avoid physical exertion during healing.

I'm wondering if it's normal to feel really wet or watery down there during sex with my husband. It kind of feels like I might be leaking urine, but when I check, its just wetness, not urine. Can urine actually leak during sex, or is becoming really wet like this totally normal?

Yes its completely normal no need to worry
