I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?

It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've used regestrone before to push back my periods, but I need some clarity on the right dosage. Last time, I think I was told to take one tablet a day starting three days before the period, but I'm uncertain about it. I've also read that some people take it three times a day. What's the recommended dosage for delaying periods?

To delay your periods, the recommended dosage of Regestrone (Norethisterone) is usually one tablet three times a day, starting 3 days before the expected date of your period. This regimen is typically continued until you are ready to have your period. So, the total daily dosage would be three tablets of Regestrone per day, taken at regular intervals. Remember to consult your Gynecologist before starting any new medication.

Yes, both natural micronised progesterone sustained release tablets and progesterone softgel capsules 200mg are commonly prescribed during pregnancy to support the luteal phase and prevent miscarriage, especially in cases of progesterone deficiency. However, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance for safe usage during pregnancy.
