Question 1

I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?

Accepted Answer

While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

Question 2

I just had my TIFFA scan at 21 weeks, and it showed that my cervix length is 2.9 cm. Is this normal? My doctor mentioned it's on the shorter side. Should I be concerned? Can I still do exercises, or is there something else I should be doing?

Accepted Answer

A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.

Question 3

My wife missed her Ovral L pill on the 7th day after finishing the last pack. It's already the 10th day now. Is it okay for her to take it now, or should we be doing something else?

Accepted Answer

Given the symptoms and minimal free fluid in the pelvis, possible causes of severe stomach pain include:

1. Appendicitis
2. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
3. Ovarian cyst rupture
4. Gastrointestinal infection
5. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Consult a:

1. Gastroenterologist
2. Gynecologist
3. Surgeon
