I've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.

Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium

  1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects.
  2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications.

High Total Blood Protein

  1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as:
    • Dehydration
    • Liver or kidney disease
    • Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
    • Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma)
  2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism.

Next Steps

  1. Follow up with the specialist: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.
  2. Request a protein electrophoresis test: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause.
  3. Monitor your protein levels: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm having a bit of a concern during sex with my husband. At the start of intercourse, I'm experiencing some biting or stinging sensation near the entrance of my vagina. I've had sex multiple times before and never had this issue. Also, I've noticed a thick white discharge coming from my vagina, not watery at all. After having sex, I noticed a bit of hard blood, like the kind I usually see during my periods. I'm just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Could it be a sign of something?

The sudden onset of vaginal biting or stinging sensations during sex, accompanied by abnormal white discharge and post-coital spotting, may indicate an underlying condition such as vaginal dryness, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or a possible allergic reaction; it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination

I'm a bit worried about this lump under the skin on my mons pubis. It was painful when I first noticed it, but now it doesn't hurt. It's been a week since I found it. What could this be? Should I see a doctor right away or wait a little longer to see if it changes?

Painless lump under your mons pubis skin could be due to various reasons such as an ingrown hair, a cyst, or a lipoma. It is advisable to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management. In the meantime, you can apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce any inflammation. If it is determined to be an ingrown hair, over-the-counter topical antibiotics like Neosporin can be used. If it is a cyst or a lipoma, further treatment options can be discussed with your healthcare provider.
