I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?

It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.

View allI'm dealing with an intense itching sensation in the area between my vagina and anus, and it's been going on for about a month now. It's really hard to stop scratching and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Could you guide me on what might be causing this or suggest what I should do?
Itching between the vagina and anus can have many causes, including: Skin conditions: Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and lichen simplex chronicus can all cause itching. Irritants: Sweat, tight clothing, soaps, perfumes, detergents, and razor burn can all irritate the skin. Allergies: An allergic reaction to something in your environment can cause itching. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Genital herpes, genital warts, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can all cause itching. Pinworms: These parasitic worms can cause intense itching at night when females lay their eggs around the anus. Yeast infection: A yeast infection in the vagina or anus can cause itching. Fecal contamination: Contact with fecal material can cause itching. consult dermatologist

I'm really curious about the best methods for birth control. Are birth control pills actually safe for women? And if they are, which pill is considered the best with the least side effects? I've heard a lot of conflicting information and would love some clarity on this.

I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms with my menstrual cycle. During the time I usually have my period, I'm not getting my normal blood flow. Instead, there's this white waxy discharge, and it's also really itchy around that area. Along with that, I have some abdominal pain and redness. My menstrual cycle seems abnormal, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could these symptoms be connected, and what might this white waxy discharge indicate?
