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 allMy mom has two large fibroids around 2.6 to 2.8 cm and the report says there are multiple fibroids. She's dealing with heavy bleeding during her periods but no other symptoms. Is there a way to treat this without surgery or an operation?
Your mother's fibroids, even if 2.6 to 2.8 cm, can contribute to heavy bleeding, and the presence of multiple fibroids can amplify this. A doctor should evaluate the severity of her symptoms and assess the location and size of the fibroids to determine the best course of treatment

I'm dealing with PCOD and my gyno suggested I take ovacare Cap and APCOD 5gm sachet to help me conceive. But I only took ovacare and Ive missed my period days. Could it be possible to conceive just with the Ovacare tablet? I checked last Saturday and it was negative. What should I do? My last period started on October 30th, and I checked on December 10th. Any advice?
Ovacare is a supplement designed to support women's reproductive health, particularly for those with PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder). While Ovacare can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve fertility, it's essential to understand that conception is a complex process. _Conception with Ovacare Alone_ It's possible, but unlikely, to conceive with Ovacare alone, especially if you have PCOD. Ovacare is a supplement, not a fertility medication. PCOD often requires more comprehensive treatment, including medications that stimulate ovulation, like Clomid. _Negative Pregnancy Test_ Given that you took the pregnancy test on December 10th, and your last period started on October 30th, it's possible that you might have ovulated later than expected. PCOD can cause irregular ovulation, making it challenging to predict fertile windows. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your gynecologist_: Discuss your treatment plan, and ask about the possibility of ovulation induction medications. 2. _Continue Ovacare_: If your doctor recommends it, continue taking Ovacare as directed. 3. _Track your ovulation_: Use ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) or basal body temperature (BBT) charting to monitor your ovulation. 4. _Try again_: If you haven't already, try to conceive again during your next fertile window. Please consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and to discuss the best course of treatment for your PCOD and fertility goals.
