QUESTION: Hola Dr. Lopez. I have a question about something that’s a little embarrassing for me. Whenever I have sex I start sweating…a lot! No matter if it’s hot or cold in the room, by the end of it I’m usually dripping on the guy. Even if it’s only 5 minutes (a quickie!) I sweat. I’ve never had a complaint but one guy was like, “Wow…you sweat like a guy”. That’s when I became REALLY self-conscious. Is there anything I can … Read more →

QUESTION: My question is very embarrassing. I don’t even dare ask my own doctor. Is it normal to sweat “down there” and sort of have a smell of armpits? I shave and wash down there but I also sweat a lot down there :( I’m scared someone might smell it when I walk by. I’ve tried talc as deodorant but it doesn’t help. I just don’t know what to do. DESTINY’S ADVICE: Hi. It is normal for women and men to … Read more →

QUESTION: My husband used to watch a lot of porn back in college but then he stopped when we got together. Just recently he’s been watching it again, though.

I’m not sure what to think about it. I’ve watched porn with him before … Read more →

QUESTION: Hi Ms. Lopez. I got genital warts from a guy I had unprotected sex with about 6 months ago. I was treated for them and they disappeared. Now I have a new boyfriend and I haven’t told him that I had them. Is it safe for me to sleep with him? I would DIE(!) if I ever gave him genital warts. Since I can’t see them anymore I assume I can’t give them to him but I want to be … Read more →

QUESTION: I have a question. For the past 2 months or so I’ve been having a yellowish discharge which sometimes comes with a bad odor. Also, after sex I start getting the same odor which never use to occur. Could this be something serious that I may need to go to a doctor for? Or can it be fixed with over the counter things like the lotions and meds? I don’t have health insurance so I’m hoping you can help with … Read more →

QUESTION: I am having my first child but I don’t know whether to have it c-section or vaginal. Most women say that vaginal hurts a lot, and that c-sections give you back problems later on. I don’t know which to choose. DESTINY’S ADVICE: Congratulations on your pregnancy. Deciding to have a cesarean section — the delivery of a baby through an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus — should be very carefully made with your health care provider. Some doctors … Read more →
