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 allI'm sexually active and I've got a Mirena, but I'm worried because I've noticed these large, sometimes hard bumps on the inside of my thighs. Plus, there's this thick bump, like extra skin, under my clitoral hood, and I just found it while I was wiping. It doesn't have a head, and it hurts if I rub over it too hard. Should I be concerned about these bumps? What's going on with my skin down there?
The bumps on the inside of your thighs could be due to various reasons such as folliculitis, skin tags, or even genital warts. The thick bump under your clitoral hood may be a cyst or a blocked gland. For the bumps on the inside of your thighs, you can try using an over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. If they persist or worsen, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. As for the thick bump under your clitoral hood, it is important not to try to pop or squeeze it. You can try warm compresses to help reduce any discomfort. If it does not improve or if it becomes more painful, you should see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm feeling a bit worried about my wife's situation. She's three months pregnant, just at the start of her 14th week. We live in a building where our apartment is on the third floor, and there's no lift. Every weekday, she has to go down 60 steps in the morning to head to the office, and then back up those 60 steps again in the evening. Is it safe for her and the baby to be doing this every day, or could it have any negative effects on her pregnancy? I'd appreciate any advice on this.
yes she can do no worries

I'm hoping to get pregnant and had an HCG injection of 5000ui on the 15th and 17th days, with ovulation confirmed on the 18th day. I took a UPT on the 32nd day and it was positive. Could the result be a false positive because of the injections or could I really be pregnant? I also have hypothyroidism.
no need to worry if i\upt is positive that say you are pregnant gat na ultarsound done for confirmation and visit your doctor for appropriate management
