I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and had a cerclage done at 14 weeks. Right now my cervical length is 30 mm is that normal or should I be worried about it shortening further?

A cervical length of 30 mm at 25 weeks, especially after a cerclage at 14 weeks, is generally considered normal and not a cause for immediate concern. While some shortening of the cervix is expected as pregnancy progresses, a 30 mm length indicates the cervix is still within a safe range. However, it's essential to monitor it closely and discuss any concerns with your doctor

I've been taking folic acid and multivitamins for three months now, and my husband just had minor piles surgery. Should we be careful about anything during his recovery or with my supplements? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect us

Folic acid supplements are safe, and your husband should follow post-operative care for piles. No major precautions are needed unless advised by the surgeon.

I'm really curious about Acutret. I heard it's used for contraception and that it makes it difficult or maybe even impossible to conceive while on it. Can you tell me what kind of complications might come with taking Acutret? Like, are there any side effects I should be worried about if I'm considering this medication?

Thats not a contraceptive and is used for healthy looking skin,not related to your concern
