MATTERS OF FRICTION

I am a 20-year-old student. My problem is that from the age of 14, my nipples started looking a lot like that of a woman. If I press the tip of the nipple, it enlarges and later it shrinks to the normal size. I consulted so many doctors but no one could give me a right solution for my problem. I have tried various drugs but found no relief. Please suggest a remedy for my problem.

QThis is a normal physiological response. Hence, there is no need to get worried or consume medicines. The nipples of both men and womren contain erectile tissues. That is why they will enlarge on receiving physical stimulation. They will revert back to pre-excitement state sometime after the stimulation is withdrawn.

QI am 28 years old and got married last month, and within a week I noticed some pimples and blisters around my vagina. In my husband’s penis also I could see some pimples and blisters. Am I suffering from a disease?

In all probability the blisters (pimples as mentioned by you) may not be due to a disease. They may be due to excessive friction to the genital skin during sexual intercourse. This will happen when vaginal penetration is attempted/achieved before there is an adequate lubrication in the vagina. For whatever it is worth, get examined by a doctor. Till the blisters disappear, do not have sexual intercourse. Later on, use an artificial lubricant like ‘K-Y jelly’, etc. if necessary.
