Can you tell me if it's safe to use Nasivion nasal spray during pregnancy for a blocked nose? I'm worried about any possible side effects.

I'm wondering about the possibility of having twins after two eggs were ruptured with an HCG injection. If both eggs get fertilized, are twins likely? And in a case where only one egg fertilizes, what happens to the other egg that was ruptured?

follicular study can predict the twin pregnancy

I've been having issues with irregular periods and there's been a lot of itching and discharge, a kind of overflow in white water. It's been really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

Your symptoms of irregular periods, white discharge, and itching may be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, infections, or ovulation. It's important to visit a gynecologist for a full diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. In the meantime, maintain good hygiene, avoid irritants, and manage your diet and stress levels. Feel free to consult a doctor for a detailed examination and targeted treatment

I'm a 24-year-old woman dealing with some issues that are really worrying me. I've been in a stable relationship for quite a while and have been sexually active for about six years. Usually, everything's okay after sex, but sometimes, two days later, I get really painful vaginal discomfort. It's not all the time, but it's been happening more often. Also, my periods last for about 12 days, which feels longer than usual, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. I've been on homeopathic treatment for six months. About ten days ago, I had intercourse and have been in severe pain ever since. It's been lingering for the past eight days, and I'm really struggling. What do you suggest I do at this point? It's becoming really tough to handle.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Persistent vaginal pain after sex could indicate an infection, irritation, or underlying issue like PCOS-related hormonal changes. Please consult a gynecologist promptly for an evaluation, as timely care is essential for your comfort and health.
