I'm a bit worried because I didnt really have ejaculation during intercourse, but just to be safe, I took an i-pill within 2 hours. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, and my last period was on August 23rd with a 27-day cycle. I took the pill on September 2nd, and now my period still hasn't arrived. Ive been having period-like cramps since yesterday, but there are no periods, and Im also experiencing back pain. Could there be an issue with the pill or something else going on?

I've been having this really intense itching in my vulva for about a month now. It mostly gets worse at night. I did take an ipill around the same time, and I'm wondering if that could be linked to the itching. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to relieve it?

Tab levcetrizine 10 mg at bedtime for 7 days, if symptoms persists gynaecologist opinion is advised to te patient.
