My wife has been dealing with an itchy, uncomfortable feeling down there for about 15 days now, and she sometimes can't resist scratching. There's also some pain in that area. We saw a doctor who asked for a urine test and gave her some medicine, which I've attached to this message. I'm worried because it's still not getting better. Plus, after we have sex, she feels even more itchy and irritated. What should we do?

it could be due to acidity.....take ppi medicine... do consult your doctor

I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?

Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.
