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 a bit concerned about the looseness I've noticed in the skin of my labia majora, and it's got me wondering about natural ways to tighten it without surgery, especially since I'm only 24. Do you have any insights on why this might be happening at my age and any natural solutions I could try?
Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning. _Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:_ 1. _Sunlight exposure_: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production. 2. _Fatty fish_: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3. 3. _Fortified foods_: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice. 4. _Mushrooms_: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3. 5. _Egg yolks_: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3. _Supplements:_ If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements. _Target levels:_ Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL. _Monitor progress:_ Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.

I've been experiencing some upper chest pain for a few days now. At first, I thought it was breast pain, but now it feels like the pain is more spread out around the area of my breast. I recently started wearing a wired bra about a week ago, and the pain began around the same time. Even though I've stopped wearing that bra, the pain hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
apply primrose oil at night

I've been having really heavy periods that last 10 to 18 days with clots and bad cramps. My ultrasound showed a bulky uterus measuring 73x47x55 mm with a 12-13 mm endometrial echo. There's also a simple cyst on my right ovary around 30x14 mm. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other options?
You need hysteroscopy and D&C. If you completed your family then you can go for mirena insertion.
