I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.

I've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.
Possible Causes of Swollen Labia Minora:* 1. Vulvar edema (fluid retention) 2. Vulvovaginitis (inflammation) 3. Bartholin's gland cyst or abscess 4. Skin conditions (eczema, dermatitis) 5. Infections (yeast, bacterial, or viral) 6. Trauma or injury 7. Hormonal changes 8. Poor hygiene or irritation Restoring Normal Size:* 1. Consult a gynecologist or dermatologist for proper diagnosis. 2. Maintain good hygiene: gentle cleansing, avoid harsh soaps. 3. Wear breathable clothing and avoid tight underwear. 4.
