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 thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

I'm a 32-year-old woman with a 3-year-old kid and have been having heavy periods. My gynecologist recommended a pelvic scan, which showed an echogenic polyp measuring 22.7x16.7mm in the anterior endometrial cavity with no color flow. I had a laparoscopic surgery in 2016 and my pap smear was negative. Is this polyp something serious or can I leave it as it is? What should my next steps be?

You should go for HYSTEROSCOPIC removal of polyp and endometrial biopsy for further evaluation as it is showing endometrial hyperplasia You should do your beta HCG measurement also
