I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

View allI'm currently in my first trimester and have been experiencing a lot of nausea. I've heard about Doxinate, but I'm worried about whether it's really safe to take during this stage of pregnancy. Are there any risks or side effects for the baby that I should be aware of?
Doxinate is a combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine, commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is considered safe to use during the first trimester of pregnancy. Studies have shown that it does not increase the risk of birth defects or other adverse outcomes for the baby. The usual dosage of Doxinate during pregnancy is 1 tablet at bedtime, and if needed, 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the afternoon. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the prescribed amount. Common side effects of Doxinate may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience any concerning side effects, it is important to consult your healthcare provider. Overall, Doxinate can be safely used during the first trimester of pregnancy to help manage nausea, with minimal risk to the baby.

I have adenomyosis and my doctor prescribed Esyma to help shrink it to around 45-50. I'm trying to avoid surgery since it might affect my chances of having kids. I'm on my third month of meds with a 2-week break after this, and the full course is 6 months. How much longer do I realistically have before my chances of having children are gone?
