I'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?

Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

Does frequent sex make the clitoris grow larger over time and if so are there any surgical options to reduce its size if it becomes uncomfortable

No, frequent sex does not typically cause the clitoris to grow larger over time. The clitoris naturally increases in size during sexual arousal and returns to its normal size afterward. Enlarged clitorises, also known as clitoromegaly, can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, or differences in sexual development
