Question 1

My wife is struggling with vaginal dryness, and it's becoming a bit of an issue for us when it comes to our intimacy. Could you recommend a good vaginal lubricant that we can pick up at the local pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

This is often the result of not enough foreplay. Insufficient lubrication is also commonly caused by a drop in estrogen levels after menopause, after childbirth or during breast-feeding.
Certain medications are known to inhibit desire or arousal, which can decrease lubrication and make sex painful. These include antidepressants, high blood pressure medications, sedatives, antihistamines and certain birth control pills.
This includes injury or irritation from an accident, pelvic surgery, female circumcision or a cut made during childbirth to enlarge the birth canal (episiotomy). An infection in your genital area or urinary tract can cause painful intercourse. Eczema or other skin problems in your genital area also can be the problem...Involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall (vaginismus) can make attempts at penetration...consult gynecologist they will help you further

Question 2

I'm 25 and recently got the Nexplanon implant last May. I've never tried birth control before, so I was kind of expecting my body to take some time adjusting to the hormones. Lately, though, I've been feeling more irritable, anxious, and just emotionally all over the place. A friend mentioned trying Ashwagandha to help balance my hormones and reduce my stress. But I'm kind of worriedwould taking this herbal supplement mess with how well the implant works?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this white discharge that smells really bad, and it's kind of watery. I'm not married, and I travel four hours every day for work. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure if it could be related to my daily routine or something else. Could this be something serious or just a common issue? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

consult gynecologist

Is a miscarriage painful?

Not all miscarriages are physically painful, but most of them have cramping. The cramps are really strong for some people and light for others.
