Does everyone bleed the first time?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Not always. Some women will bleed after having sex for the first time, while others won't. Both are perfectly normal.

View allI'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?
What retained products are you taking about?? Retained placental bits or abortion.. It has to be removed, some times they get expelled but if not it causes sepsis and shock like condition..

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?
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

I'm 22 and still a virgin. I've tried to have sexual intercourse with my partner 34 times, but it just doesn't work. I don't know what's causing it it's like I'm too tight and the pain is unbearable. Could this be some kind of medical condition? Any advice would be really helpful.
It sounds like you might be experiencing discomfort due to tightness or muscle tension, which is common, especially for those who are new to sexual activity. It could also be related to conditions like vaginismus, where involuntary muscle spasms make penetration difficult and painful. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to explore any underlying causes and receive guidance on relaxation techniques or treatments that can help.
