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.

View allMy wife had an IUI on the 20th and 21st of August, and it's been about 15 days now, but she hasn't noticed any major pregnancy signs. The only thing is she's feeling a bit dizzy in the afternoons. Could you let us know when pregnancy symptoms usually start? We're just a bit anxious.
Hello, it's not unusual for pregnancy symptoms to vary or be absent in the early days. Dizziness could be related to hormonal changes, but it's not a definitive sign. I recommend waiting a couple more days and doing a pregnancy test if her period doesnt start. Wishing you the best!

I'm considering using pills for abortion and I'm worried about whether I'll face any problems in the future because of it. Could you tell me if it's a good or bad idea? Please help me out.
Abortion with pills (medical abortion) is generally safe when done under medical supervision and within the recommended timeframe (usually up to 10 weeks of pregnancy). However, its crucial to consult a doctor to ensure it's appropriate for your health, avoid complications, and receive proper guidance for care afterward.
