Why are painful vaginal wounds like smallpox present?

You possibly have a sexually transmitted disease called genital herpes. They can cause sores that seem like smallpox in the vaginal area and can be quite painful. It can be painful when you touch the area or when you pee. The main causes of genital herpes are different viruses that can usually present themselves through sexual interactions. The most effective way to handle genital herpes is taking antiviral medication as instructed by the doctor. It is just as crucial to refrain from sexual activity until the sores have dried out to avoid passing the virus to others. The solution for genital herpes is to seek a gynecologist who will correctly diagnose and treat you.

Can my girlfriend get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

When someone takes the emergency contraceptive pill like an i-pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it can help prevent pregnancy by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. However, there's always a small chance of pregnancy because no method is 100% effective. It's great that she took it promptly after the deed; that improves its effectiveness. Just to be safe, keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms and consider a pregnancy test if her period is late or consult with gynecologist

Why Do I Have Tingling in Back of Head?

You have been feeling some tingle around the back of your head for a long time. Emotional stress, poor body position, and not enough sleep can all be reasons for this. To help, try to loosen your shoulders, keep a good posture, and sleep sufficiently at night. If the tingling occurs and then gets worse, it's better to consult a neurologist to get proper instructions.

Is my left penile bend Peyronie's or natural?

You might have Peyronie's disease which can develop a bent penis. The reason for this is the degradation of the penis and scar tissue formation inside the penis. It can be either the result of injury or unknown reasons. You probably won't need the treatment if it doesn't hurt or cause any issues. But if you're concerned, visiting a urologist could be beneficial. They may recommend medication, injections, or surgery.

Why do I ejaculate when frustrated or stressed?

Hi! It seems like you’re dealing with something known as spontaneous ejaculation. This can be caused by stress or frustration which then signals your body to release sperm. While not harmful, it can certainly be annoying. Stress impacts your nervous system leading to this response. To handle this, try relaxation methods like deep breathing or speaking to a therapist about managing stress better.

Can I take a pregnancy test after November 8th?

If your period was on November 8th, it's been a few weeks now. You can actually take a pregnancy test now to check. Sometimes, periods can be late due to stress, changes in routine, or hormonal imbalances. But taking a test will give you a clear answer. You can easily find pregnancy tests at pharmacies or even online. Just follow the instructions on the package carefully.

Can fresh semen in underwear cause pregnancy?

Let me reassure you that the scenario you described is highly unlikely to result in pregnancy. For pregnancy to occur, the semen needs to enter the vagina and travel through the cervix into the uterus to fertilize an egg. External contact with fresh semen on underwear wouldn't lead to pregnancy. However, if you're concerned, you can simply wash the area with soap and water to remove any traces. If you have any more questions or concerns, schedule an appointment with your gynecologist.

Can I switch to Human Mixtard 40 from Insulin Mixtard 30?

Due to shortage of your usual insulin mixtard 30, switching to human mixtard 40 could be an option as they are similar insulins. However, it's always best to consult with your diabetologist before making any changes to your medication. They can offer personalized advice based on your specific needs and health condition. It's important to ensure a smooth transition to the new insulin to avoid any disruptions in your blood sugar management. Your doctor will guide you on the correct dosage and usage of human mixtard 40.

What ointment helps with painful anal wound symptoms?

What you're describing could possibly be an anal fissure, which is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. These can happen from things like scratching, hard stools, or even trauma during bowel movements. It's understandable to feel worried, but the good news is that these usually heal on their own with some simple care. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, using a mild ointment like petroleum jelly to soothe it, and ensuring you have a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation. If it persists or worsens, do reach out to a physician for a closer look.
