I'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?

Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

I'm planning to have vaginal sex for the first time and I'm kind of nervous about which lubricant to use so it doesn't cause any irritation or pain. I've heard some can have side effects, and I'd really like to avoid that. Any advice on choosing the right one?

_Premature Ejaculation (PE): Understanding and Addressing Quick Discharge_ Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition where ejaculation occurs sooner than desired, often within 1-2 minutes of penetration. Since you've been experiencing this issue for 5 years, it's essential to understand the possible causes and explore treatment options. _Possible Causes:_ 1. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can contribute to PE. 2. *Neurological factors*: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine can affect ejaculation timing. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes, such as low testosterone, can impact ejaculation. 4. *Physical factors*: Prostate issues, urethritis, or skin conditions can cause PE. 5. *Lifestyle factors*: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or lack of physical activity can contribute to PE. _Treatment Options:_ 1. *Behavioral techniques*: Try the "stop-start" method, "squeeze" technique, or pelvic floor exercises to improve control. 2. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply creams or sprays containing lidocaine or benzocaine to reduce sensitivity. 3. *Oral medications*: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as dapoxetine, can help delay ejaculation. 4. *Counseling*: Address underlying psychological issues through therapy or counseling. 5. *Natural remedies*: Explore herbal supplements like ashwagandha, maca, or tribulus terrestris, which may help improve ejaculation control. _Consult a Healthcare Professional:_ Discuss your symptoms with a urologist, sexologist, or a primary care physician to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan. Remember, premature ejaculation is a treatable condition. With patience, persistence, and the right guidance, you can improve your ejaculation control and enhance your overall sexual well-being.

I've been taking Meprate, and I'm concerned about some side effects. Last month, I had really bad pain on the lower right side of my stomach, but it went away after my period was over. Could this be something serious or affect my uterus in some way? I'm a bit worried.

no it will not affect your uterus
