I used candid powder to treat a vaginal yeast infection, and I even applied it inside. Should I be worried about any potential side effects from doing this?

I've been struggling with painful sex because my vaginal opening seems too small, and even using lube doesn't help much. My doctor mentioned I might need minor surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or other non-surgical options that could help with this issue

I've just started taking Primolut N 5 mg twice a day to delay my period, but it still began today. I'm not sure if I should keep taking the pills or stop. Is there any chance that my period might stop if I continue with them? And if I decide to quit, what happens with the two pills I've already taken? I'm really confused about what to do next.

Since your period has already started, its likely best to stop taking the Primolut-N. The tablets youve already taken may have a mild effect on the flow and duration, but they wont stop your period now. If you continue to have concerns or if you experience abnormal bleeding, its important to check with your doctor for personalized advice.

Did I miscarry or is it my period?

You know how long and heavy your typical period is. During a miscarriage, bleeding gets heavier and lasts longer than a period. As your cervix starts to dilate, cramping may become more painful than typical period cramping.
