View allI'm really confused and could use some advice. Is it okay for girls to eat eggs and drink milk while on their periods? I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about it, and it's making me worry about what I should or shouldn't be eating during that time. Is there any truth to these claims, or is it safe to include them in my diet? Would love some insight to clear up this confusion!

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?
After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.

My wife is about 5 months pregnant and she's been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable itching for the past couple of weeks. I'm really concerned about it and wondering if there's any safe medicine or anything we could try to help with this.
For itching during pregnancy, especially in the 5th month, consider the following options under medical guidance: topical creams like calamine lotion, aqueous cream, or E45 cream; oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine; or natural remedies like coconut oil, olive oil, or oatmeal baths; however, always consult your obstetrician before administering any medication to ensure safety for both mother and fetus.
