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.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?

Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.
