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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI'm 14 weeks pregnant and I've been dealing with a cough and a bodyache. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Montair LC and Dolo 650. Could you advise me on that?
At 14 weeks of pregnancy, its important to be cautious with medications. Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) and Dolo650 (paracetamol) are generally considered safe in pregnancy, but it's always best to consult your doctor before taking them. They can recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific condition.

I've just found out I'm pregnant and recently got a vaginal infection. I'm in my first trimester and wondering if it's safe for me to use Clotrimazole ointment. I'm really worried about the effects it might have during this early stage of pregnancy. Could you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use, or if there's something else I should consider?
no

I'm dealing with some pretty annoying burning and itching down there and it's been bothering me a lot. I think it might be because I had an allergic reaction to some vaginal creams I used before. I've stopped using all those creams, gels, and even antibiotics now, so I'm just wondering, is Vwash safe and effective for cleaning and helping with this kind of irritation? I'm really looking for something that can help soothe the discomfort.
kk you can stop & consult doctor.
