I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

What happens if prolapse is left untreated?

Question

I'm really confused because I haven't had sex, but I can still insert two fingers into my vagina easily. Does this mean my hymen might be broken?

I'm curious about the safety of oral sex with my partner. We've never been with anyone else, and we're both in good health. We're interested in exploring this intimately in our marriage, but we want to know if it's safe for our health, especially since we're quite health-conscious. Could you advise us on this?
