So, my wife and I are thinking about trying anal sex, and we're not exactly sure where to start with lubricants. Is there a specific type you would recommend that's available at a medical store? Also, are there any other tips or suggestions you'd have for us?

You can use KY jelly. However it's not flavored. You may go for durex gel as well, which you can find in different flavors

Can STDs be cured?

Bacterial STDs can be cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough. Viral STDs cannot be cured, but you can manage symptoms with medications. There is a vaccine against hepatitis B, but it will not help if you already have the disease.

I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?

Weight gain can be a side effect of Diane-35, although it does not happen to everyone. It is important to monitor your weight regularly and discuss any concerns with your gynecologist. In the meantime, continue with your regular walking exercise routine as it is beneficial for your overall health.
