View allI'm noticing this thin white layer around my vagina that sometimes curdles up into a creamy texture. It's been itchy at certain times during the day, specifically on one of the labia minora where it looks like there's some extra skin development with tiny eruptions, and there's white stuff inside. There's no burning sensation, bad smell, or discharge though. It's been like this for 3 days with no changes. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Your symptoms, including a thin white layer around the vagina, curdling into a creamy texture, itching on the labia minora, and tiny eruptions with white contents, suggest a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis), but the absence of a foul odor and discharge makes it less clear-cut; consult a gynecologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment, as other conditions like vulvar dermatitis could also be possible causes.

I'm 30 and have had PCOS for two years my HSG test showed blocked fallopian tubes. Besides pregnancy concerns, is surgery absolutely necessary to unblock them? Just wondering if it's something I really need to do or if there are other options
While surgery can be an option for unblocking fallopian tubes, it's not always necessary and there are other treatment approaches, especially if you're not focused on pregnancy. Your doctor will need to assess the specific cause and location of the blockage to determine the best course of action
