My doctor perscribed ortho novium 1/35 and PO gel. What is the PO gel? When I went in it was for dry cervical lining...probably from an allergic reaction to condoms and because of bleeding during sex. As I mentioned I have been tested for everything in exception to HIV and am fine. Is this gel maybe to help stop the irritation during sex?

I'm not a gynecologist and am unfamiliar with "PO gel". You might try posting the message in the Maternal~child health forum; or look elsewhere on the web. Sorry!
