Question. I am 43 years old and my wife is 34. We have two girls, aged 11 and five respectively. We have been trying for a third child for the last three months, but haven’t succeeded. Do we need to get ourselves tested? Are there any medications available that can help us? Kindly guide us.

Answer. Visit your gynaecologist and discuss the issue. Increase your intercourse frequency to thrice a week from the eighth day of her period cycle counting from the first day. Have your sperm count checked and correct your lifestyle, if needed.

Question. I am 23 and will be getting married soon. My fiance doesn’t want to use a condom on our first night. I don’t want to get pregnant until one and half years after marriage. I have heard that contraceptive pills can harm. Also, what should I do to avoid pain on our first night? Please reply.

Answer. Ask your doctor about low dosage hormonal pills. They won’t harm you. After a few months on the tablet, consult your gynaecologist. For pain apply a small amount of Xylocaine gel 2% in and around your vagina, 20 minutes before sex and wipe off the excess.

Question. I am a 33-year-old woman. My breasts become very stiff and painful during my period. Should I contact a doctor for this? Please reply.

Answer. Your doctor can prescribe a tablet which decreases the salt in your body by passing it out during urination. This will reduce the congestion in your breasts. You may have also noticed greater irritability during this period. Hopefully this will also be checked.

Question. I am an 18-year-old woman. Since two-three months I have noticed a lump in my right breast. Its size has also increased considerably since. My doctor says this is normal at my age. However, I do know that breast cancer can occur at my age too. I have had an abortion. Could the lump be a result of that? Please guide me.

Answer. A breast lump can occur after an abortion. You are right to be concerned. See a gynaecologist for a detailed examination.

Question. I am 25 years old and I got married five years ago. We have two sons but now my husband is not interested in sex. Since the past three years we have been having sex only once a fortnight. Though he looks after me very well, I am confused. I fear that he may be having an affair. Help me.

Answer. Suspicion sends a marriage on the rocks. Since he is good with you, when you have some quiet time together, tell him you have a great desire to be near him more often. Also ask yourself how you could be more attractive to him so he has no reason to look elsewhere. If you are more sexually aroused, why not self stimulate yourself to orgasm.

Question. I have just started enjoying sex with my husband after 10 years of marriage. I don’t like to have sex everyday whereas he expects us to do it in the daytime too when the kids and maids are around. He watches a lot of porn and expects similar behaviour from me. Watching porn repulses me, creating quarrels in our otherwise happy marriage. Do I need counselling?

Answer. Stolen sweets taste best, so why not enjoy the naughty moments during the day. Pretence is often used by a wife to keep her husband happy. If you do not like to do what he wants then tell him, but occasionally oblige him too. In turn, you might start enjoying yourself even more. Quarrels get in the way of good sex.
