I've been struggling with painful intercourse with my husband it feels like hitting a wall no matter how many times we try. We've used different lubricants and gels, but nothing helps. Is there any medical procedure or surgery to help enlarge or break the hymen so we can have successful intercourse?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If painful intercourse is caused by a restrictive hymen, a medical procedure called a hymenotomy can be performed to break or enlarge the hymen. This procedure can help to alleviate pain and make intercourse more comfortable. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if this is the root cause of the pain and to discuss whether a hymenotomy is appropriate for you. There may also be other medical or psychological factors contributing to the pain, so a thorough evaluation is crucial.

View allI'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.
For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.

I'm a bit worried about my wife who's in her 7th week of pregnancy. She's been having a really tough time with vomiting and just can't seem to keep anything down. The doctor suggested she try Emeset 4mg, but after taking it, she's been feeling uncomfortable with some stomach pain and constipation. I looked it up online, and now I'm confused because there are mixed opinions about using it during pregnancy. Do you think it's safe for her to continue with this medication, or should we consider switching to something else?
Emeset (Ondansetron) can be used in pregnancy but should be done so under careful medical supervision. If she continues to experience discomfort, it's essential to contact her healthcare provider for possible medication adjustment or a safer alternative.

My baby's weight is 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Is this normal? What can I do to help increase the babys weight?
A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.
