 | My wife is already 17 weeks pregnant. Can I still make love with her at this stage and if yes, at what stage of the pregnancy is it advisable to stop making love with her? |
 |
| You can make love to your wife who is 17 weeks pregnant. You can also have a usual sexual relationship with her until the last 4 weeks of pregnancy (36 weeks). After this period, sexual intercourse should be less frequent but still permissible.

| I am a PCO patient. My doctor confirmed the pregnancy, but the test line was not so prominent. She told me to go again this weekend for another urine test and u/s. I have also been told to take duphaston (10mg-dydrogesterone) for 1 week together with my folic and metformin (pco). Will my baby be alright? Is there anything I need to worry about since the percentage of miscarriage is high with PCO? |
|
| There is a higher risk of miscarriage with patients with PCO. It is probably too early to say whether your pregnancy will continue. I would advise you to follow the advice of your doctor.

| 1. I had an abortion when I was about 12 weeks pregnant nearly 3 years ago. Will this affect my chances of getting pregnant again?
2. Around 1 month ago, my husband penetrated quite deep and hard during sexual intercourse. A few days later, I noticed that my urine smelled differently than normal. A week after that, my vaginal area became itchy and I scratched it lightly. My husband and I still have normal sexual intercourse but I felt pain during and after penetration.
|
|
| 1. In most cases, a previous abortion would not affect the chances of getting pregnant again.
2. I would advise you to consult a Gynaecologist to rule out any infection of your urinary tract or vagina.

| I experienced a pimple like thing that grew on my penis. After consulting a Doctor he said that it is caused by oil buid ups and uncleanliness. I was given some soap and lotion to clean with. I was cured. However, later on, my girlfriend started developing the same type of pimple. Now she is experiencing her second one. The second one does not itch, is not painful but does contain some liquid. |
|
| From your description, your girlfriend could be having a sebaceous cyst which can become infected. I would advise her to see a Consultant Gynaecologist.
