Suggest Treatment For Cough While Suffering From Rib Separation
I'm a 23 year old femaile, and I separated my rib two years ago, coughing. I think I may have reseparated it during sex with my boyfriend. What do I do? I can't give up my sex life, but I need my rib to heal. "switch to gentle old people disability sex" just isn't a good answer for me.

Hello,
You have recurrent rib separation. It is commonly seen with weak intercostal muscles and cartilage. And these are due to calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency. So first get done calcium and vitamin D3 levels. If they are deficient, then you will need supplements. Do deep breathing exercises to improve the strength of intercostal muscles. Don't worry you will be alright with all these and able to enjoy your sex life.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
