Can a baby survive in the womb without amniotic fluid?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.

I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?

It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.
