I had diarrhea on September 2nd and took a 4mg Imodium tablet at night. Since yesterday, my bowel movements have completely stopped. I'm also experiencing burning and itching in my vaginal area, and there's a thick white discharge. Could this be related to the diarrhea or the Imodium tablet? Are there any OTC medicines or creams I could try for this?

I'm having trouble with getting wet during intimacy. Even when I'm in the mood, I just don't seem to produce natural lubricant. What can I do to help my body produce it naturally? I love being with my partner, so it's really frustrating. Also, I've noticed some wart-like things around my vaginal area. Any advice on how to treat these?

It sounds like you're experiencing dryness, which can happen for various reasons, including hormonal changes or stress. You might benefit from using a water-based lubricant to enhance comfort. For the warts, it's important to get them checked by a healthcare provider, as they may be caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), and treatment options are available. Please consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and many soon-to-be moms I know are being advised to get Betnesol injections. My OB-GYN hasnt mentioned it to me. Is it something I should be worried about or consider taking, or is it not necessary?

Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy! Betnesol injections are often given to help mature the babys lungs if theres a risk of preterm birth, but they are not always necessary for everyone. Since your OB-GYN hasn't suggested it, it likely means they don't see the need at this stage, but it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your doctor.

I've been diagnosed with a UTI and after some tests, they found an ovarian cyst measuring 42x40 mm. Should a cyst this size require surgery? I'm a bit worried and would like to understand my options better.

Small cysts measuring about 4 cms resolve by itself.Only large cyst about 5-10 requires surgery.
