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've been dealing with some irregular periods lately, and I'm trying to figure out why this might be happening. I'm 22 years old, and this has only started happening in the past few months. What could be the causes for these changes in my menstrual cycle?
Common reasons include hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain medications. I would recommend consulting with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If hormonal imbalance is suspected, birth control pills like "Yaz" can be prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle.

I've just found out from a scan today that I have a tiny nabothian cyst on my cervix. I'm not really sure what it means and I'm a bit worried because I already have a cyst on my left ovary. Is this nabothian cyst something I should be concerned about? Will it mess with any pregnancy treatments I'm planning on having? Please, I could really use some advice!
A nabothian cyst is a small, benign growth on the cervix, typically harmless and asymptomatic, often resolving on its own; having a nabothian cyst is unlikely to affect pregnancy or fertility, but it's essential to monitor both the nabothian cyst and the ovarian cyst through regular check-ups with your gynecologist to ensure they don't cause any complications or affect your reproductive health
