My wife has been dealing with an itchy, uncomfortable feeling down there for about 15 days now, and she sometimes can't resist scratching. There's also some pain in that area. We saw a doctor who asked for a urine test and gave her some medicine, which I've attached to this message. I'm worried because it's still not getting better. Plus, after we have sex, she feels even more itchy and irritated. What should we do?

it could be due to acidity.....take ppi medicine... do consult your doctor

My mom has been having heavy bleeding and the doctors said her uterus wall is thickening based on scans. They recommended surgery since this happened before 18 months ago too but now the wall is thicker. Her blood levels dropped from the bleeding and they quoted around 50k for the procedure scheduled this Saturday. Is surgery the best option given her history and current condition?

It's understandable to be concerned about your mom's health. The thickening of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia) and the subsequent heavy bleeding, especially with the blood level drop, are serious issues. Surgery might be a reasonable option, especially if the previous episode occurred 18 months ago and the condition has worsened
