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.

I had my period like usual starting on June 16th and it lasted for six days until the 21st. But it's been 67 days now, and since the 26th, I've been experiencing this whitish vaginal discharge along with really bad pain in my legs. It's been going on for two to three days now, and I'm not sure what to do. Could you help me figure out what's happening? It's kind of worrying me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an infection or hormonal imbalance. The whitish discharge and leg pain could be a sign of a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or something else, so its important to see a gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and avoid irritants.

I took some medical pills for an abortion when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. My doctor prescribed me one tablet of mifepristone and two misoprostol tablets, but instead of letting them dissolve under my tongue, I ended up swallowing them with water. Now I've gotten my period, but I'm worried. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?
