My partner and I have noticed that during sex, initially, theres a lot of tightness, but then it seems to loosen after a few seconds. Is this a common thing, or should we be worried? I'd love to understand why this happens and if there's something we should do?

This could be due to erectile dysfunction or difficulty maintaining an erection, which may be linked to stress, anxiety, fatigue, or medical conditions like poor blood flow or hormonal imbalances. A consultation with a doctor is important to assess the underlying cause and explore treatment options.

I'm a bit worried because my period is late by 4 days this month, even though they've been regular before. Last month, my period started on September 2nd, but I had dengue then and maybe because of the fever or weakness, my flow was really low. Do you think there's something wrong or should I be concerned? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

It's not uncommon for your menstrual cycle to be slightly delayed after an illness like dengue, as it can affect your hormones and overall health. If the delay is only a few days and there are no other concerning symptoms, it should be okay, but if the delay continues or you experience unusual symptoms, it might be worth consulting your doctor for reassurance.
