I'm having a bit of an issue. After having sex, like a day or two later, I start feeling this burning sensation down there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Can you help me understand what might be causing this and any advice on what I can do to feel better?

I've been experiencing some discomfort with vaginal itching and have noticed rashes in that area. It's also swollen, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicines or ointments that might help with this?

If the itching and swelling are localized to the external area, you can apply clotrimazole (an antifungal cream) or hydrocortisone (a mild anti-inflammatory) externally. These can help reduce itching and swelling.

I'm really worried because I have a white liquid discharge coming from one of my breasts when I squeeze my nipple, but it's not happening in my other breast. The fact that it's only on one side is making me anxious. I've been dealing with a viral fever for a week and have been taking different tablets, but nothing seems to help much. Could the discharge be a side effect of the medications? I've also been constipated for four days. I'm really concerned about whether this could be cancer. My breasts have always been a bit hard and small, unlike others, but they've been that way for as long as I can remember. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about cancer or something else?
