JULY ONLINE SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC Q&A

Question: Dear sir I had the need to use "postinor" twice in a week .It was three days apart. Please doctor is this OK ?

Answer
"Postinor" is an emergency contraceptive pill and should only be used as such. Abuse of an ECP can lead to failure. If you feel the need to use ECP that often then you should go for a full contraception method. If you are single I strongly advise against unprotected s*x due to the high risk of STI and HIV.

JULY ONLINE SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC Q&A

Questions: Dear Dr. I am getting married in a few weeks and will like to wait till I complete my study next year before having a baby. The marriage class in my church focused on natural method of contraception,the billings method. How effective is this method ?

Answer:
The effectiveness of a contraceptive method is measured by the number of women out of a 100 women using that method for one year that get pregnant. Natural family planning methods can be very effective if used correctly. There are several methods of natural family planning e.g Creighton model, sympto- thermal method,billings method.

The billings method is said to be 75 - 95 percent effective which means that out of a 100 women using this method 5 - 25 will get pregnant. The effectiveness increases with proper adherence/use.

A new natural family planning called the standard day method is said to 88 - 95 percent effective if used correctly. The method is only effective for women with cycles of 26-32 days.

Regardless of natural method chosen you will have to know your body well to achieve success. Visit a family planning clinic for proper information and contraception methods available.

I wish you all the best with your upcoming nuptials

QUESTIONS FROM THE CLINIC

Question: I just had my second baby six months ago and would like a break before another baby. My Mother in law brought in a herbal mixture and says it is effective for preventing pregnancy. How safe are herbal contraceptives?

Answer: Before the advent of medically safe and effective contraception methods older generations of women have sworn by several herbal methods. Most of this methods are not medically safe and may have adverse effects. There are a number of medically safe contraception methods available now to suit your needs.
Please visit a family planning clinic for options. I am also available for a consultation if needed

JULY ONLINE SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC Q&A

Question: Hello. My husband always wants me to have an or**sm during s*xual in*******se so sometimes I fake it so it can be over quickly! Is it OK to fake it? I have been married for 8 years and I have three children

Answer(s*x therapist): When it comes to faking or**sm there is basically two arguments those for faking and those who absolutely disagree.

Those who oppose it, believe that faking is liking pretending and lying and so not healthy for relationships. I personally think it is OK to fake it! yes you read right as long you only do this occasionally and you or**sm most of time. Faking can take away the pressure of achieving or**sm at times when you just won't be able to ( you are tired or preoccupied) instead of outrightly turning down your husband.

Please note I said occasional. If you feel the need to fake or**sm most of the time then there might be some issues and that would require expert help.
I personally think your husband is amazing as I often encounter women, whose partners can't be bothered if they or**sm or not!
I hope this helps

JULY ONLINE SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC Q&A

Question: Dear Doctor six months ago I started dating a lovely lady,we started having s*x about 4 months ago. A few weeks ago she started complaining of pain during s*x, we initially brushed it off but now it hurts her so bad she is afraid of having s*x. Could I have done something wrong? Please help

Answer: It is great that you are addressing this quickly pain during s*x, medically referred to as dyspareunia can be a sign of a serious medical condition and often cause huge problems in a couple's relationship.

In many cases it can be due to insufficient lubrication which can be resolved by increasing foreplay or using a lubricant.

Your partner may also be experiencing pain due to any of the following conditions: involuntary spasm of the va**nal muscle, va**na and or v***a injury, va**nal infections like yeast infection, fibroids, endometrosis, s*xually transmitted infections, pelvic inflammatory disease.
A potentially life threatening cause of pain during s*x can be ectopic pregnancy which happens when fertilized o**m implants in a woman's tubes.
Your partner will have to be evaluated by a gynecologist to determine the exact cause and offer proper treatment. I strongly advise you book an appointment to see one soon. Kindly let me know if I can help in any way.

Question: I am a 27 year old lady, I have been dating my boyfriend for a year now. He gets angry and accuses me of cheating because he says my va**na sometimes feels too loose while we are having s*x. I am totally faithful and committed to him,this hurts me a lot

Answer: Hello. I understand how distressing it can be to not be trusted, you need to discuss your boyfriend's exaggerated jealousy with and calmly reassure him of your commitment to the relationship.

There are a few possibilities as to why your va**na might feel tighter or looser at certain times

1.Hormonal change during your cycle not only affects va**nal secretions it could also affect elasticity

2. Certain drugs could also affect elasticity of va**na.

3. More importantly s*xual positions affect elasticity. Certain s*x positions could make the va**na feel loose to your partner
I hope this helps
