I've been experiencing some dryness in my vaginal area and it's starting to itch really badly. On top of that, I've noticed some spots similar to pimples appearing too. I'm really not sure what's going on and could use some advice on what to do next. I live in Mulund but I didn't see Mumbai as an option. Can you help me figure this out?

You can use an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) cream or suppositories. Apply the cream externally around the vagina or insert the suppository into the vagina according to the package instructions. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried because I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period and my boyfriend ejaculated a little inside me. I took an emergency contraceptive (Unwanted 72) within 6 hours after that. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you tell me what are the chances of pregnancy in this situation? Also, if I'm not pregnant, when should I expect my next period?
You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week. To help ease your concerns, you can take a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.

I'm feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?
Since your wife had her period on 5th September after taking abortion pills on 4th September, it's likely that her fertility cycle reset. Given that she had sex on 26th September, which is close to her ovulation period (typically around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle), there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it depends on her individual cycle and ovulation timing. It's advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor for more clarity.

I'm finding that I'm getting really wet during sex, and it's not as pleasurable for us. Is this normal? What could be causing it, and are there any remedies or things we can try to manage this?
Excessive wetness during sex can be normal for some people, but if it's causing discomfort or reducing pleasure, it could be due to factors like hormonal changes, anxiety, or over-stimulation. It's important to communicate with your partner and consider using a water-based lubricant if dryness is an issue. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for a more tailored solution.
