I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?

It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my wife's ultrasound results. Her last menstrual period was on June 25th, 2021, and today the ultrasound showed she's 5 weeks 6 days along. There was a yolk sac and the gestational sac measured at 1.14 cm, but there wasn't a fetal pole visible yet. Is this normal? Should we be worried about not seeing the fetal pole at this stage?

The fetal pole (the first visible form of the embryo) usually appears around 5.5 to 6 weeks, but in some cases, it might not be clearly visible until closer to 7 weeks
