Yes, there are. And you will often be guided after any procedure you undergo. Ideally your doctor will advice to abstain from sex for six weeks to two months, following which you will be checked again and given a green light by your doctor. Due to swelling, stitches, inflammation and rest for the surrounding structures to heal during gynecological procedures or even delivery abstinence is suggested. Even when you become sexually active again take it slow, see how you feel, you might have to communicate this with your partner as well so as to know what works for the both of you.

Yes, definitely. First of all get recovered first. There should be no pain/swelling at that place. It takes 15-30 days to recover on average. Also tell yourself confidently that you still have a sexlife ahead. Most of the time, women themselves consider themselves that they won't be able to do anything now. A hysterectomy typically doesn't affect a woman's ability to have an orgasm or sensation in the vagina. However, some women may experience reduced sexual sensation, such as vaginal dryness and less intense orgasms. This is because the ovaries are removed during the procedure, which can affect sex drive due to hormonal changes. But you can still enjoy sex life without fear of pregnancy now. If dryness is there, use of lubrication, estrogen gelly application and treatment of mood swings can change it. You should take time for foreplay and try other forms of intimacy also.

Sex is not for trial and error dear. It's a emotional need of any teenage or above person. You have such feelings when you meet someone special, those feelings will automatically take you to next step whenever it should happen. And about your so called friend, you are not a baby doll to try by him. Those who tell any girl be physical or we will break up are just using them for their physical need. Once they use you, they will throw you out of their life and you will be shattered into pieces. it's not like that,If you do not hurry, you will miss the train! Maybe he is not your man! Keep searching from heart, in coming future you will definitely get your prince. Till then just keep yourself sustained. So Don't hurry!

Is oral sex possible during periods?? My boyfriend wants to try it out
If you both are comfortable, then go for it! However, consider going for a dental dam as infection during menstruation is high! You can consider using a menstrual cup or a tampon to avoid leakage. Infact, for a lot of people, arousal during menstruation is high and period blood acts like a natural lubricant!

Just use oral dams for protection because the risk of developing infections is very high during menstruation ๐Ÿฉธ

#HealthCheck What are some common signs of an STD? Do all STDs have physical signs? The key to remember is most STDs can be treated through medications. Check in with your doctor at the earliest if you have any signs of an STD.
Yes, these are some symptoms, but there are possibilities that you might not have any symptoms for some days still you have STI. In some cases symptoms appear after window period just like in HIV infection. Some infection may remain silent and will make trouble to your partner/when you become weak on immunity level, they will start appearing. Women may experience the following symptoms also: Burning or itching in the vagina A discharge or odor from the vagina Pain around the pelvis Bleeding from the vagina that is not normal Pain deep inside during sex Sores, bumps or blisters in the vagina, anus, or mouth Burning and pain with urine or with bowel movements Having to go to the bathroom often warts/skin tags around genitals Some STI can give you cancer also like HPV infection. So never underestimate STI. whenever you have any of these symptoms, always consult with gynec or Sexologist. Get yourself tested If you have multiple partners always use precautions(condom/ female condom).

I'm (happily!) sexually active with my boyfriend, and let's just say oral sex is a pretty regular part of our routine. Recently, I came across something about dental dams and... honestly, I wasn't sure if they were just for specific situations or if it's something we should be using every single time. I know they can help prevent the spread of STIs, which is obviously important. But is it overkill to use one every time? Do they, like, decrease the pleasure for him? Please help thanks
Are you also doing penetrative sex also? Because then you have to use condom also. If you and your partner are involved physically with each other only and don't have multiple partners, then get both of you tested once and make it clear that no one from you are having any STI. Then you can enjoy this as it is without dental dam. But if any one of you are with more than one partner, then it's better to use it every time. Also yearly testing can be done if you want to be sure always. It's always better to take precautions to avoid consequences. Though it's not liked by you, it's better for you.

I am 16 and I have realised I am not straight for sure. I've been exploring my sexual orientation and identity, and I'm not sure who I can talk to for support and guidance. Are there resources available specifically for LGBTQ+ youth regarding sexual health and well-being?

You are just 16, with time you will get to know everything clearly. And what do ever be your sexual orientation, it's perfectly alright.

So yesterday i had an argument with my bf. we have been together for about 3 years now. we both really love and support each other. My bf wants us to engage in sexual activity. However i tend to ignore this question and avoid doing it. Its not because i dont trust him, but due to my past relationship wherein i didnt have a good experience. Is it normal to regret past consensual sexual experiences? How do I tell my bf about it ?
Hi,You need to take care about your feelings and also need to counter those conflicts which bothers you.You can have a open discussion with your boyfriend.
