Q: I’m postmenopausal, and I’ve been experiencing vaginal dryness and irritation that makes sex uncomfortable. So a few months ago, I started using a local estrogen ring. But I recently heard on the news that hormone therapy use and breast cancer are likely linked. Obviously, I’d rather just stick with lube if the alternative will up my risk for breast cancer. Should I stop using the ring?

Q: My husband and I were making love the other night, and I was on top, trying to achieve a G-spot orgasm. (I saw a daytime talk show where a sex expert mentioned that some women find it incredible, so we thought we’d give it a go). Well, when I climaxed, my husband said he felt a rush of wetness. He said it actually added to his pleasure, but it worries me. Is this normal?

When you think of a sonogram, you probably think of some grainy, grey-and-white image of your baby’s hand waving at you, labeled with the caption “Hi Mom!” You probably don’t think about the clitoris. But a couple of French doctors do (leave it to the French).
