I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my hcg levels are going up really slowly. They only went from 4300 to 4500 over four days. I'm feeling worried about whether this could mean my pregnancy might not be viable. Should I consider taking hcg injections to help?

Delayed Periods After Dengue
Possible Causes
- Hormonal imbalance: Dengue can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods.
- Stress and recovery: Your body may still be recovering from the dengue infection, causing a delay in your menstrual cycle.
- Other factors: Other factors like weight loss, changes in appetite, or stress can also contribute to delayed periods.
Normal Menstrual Cycle Disruption
- Common occurrence: It's common for women to experience changes in their menstrual cycle after a severe illness like dengue.
- Temporary disruption: This disruption is usually temporary, and your menstrual cycle should return to normal once your body has fully recovered.
Recommended Actions
- Wait and monitor: Wait for another week or two to see if your periods resume on their own.
- Consult a gynecologist: If your periods don't resume after 6-8 weeks, consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions.
- Perform a pregnancy test: Take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause of delayed periods.
When to Seek Medical Attention
- Severe abdominal pain: If you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding.
- Prolonged delay: If your periods are delayed for more than 8 weeks.
- Other symptoms: If you experience other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or dizziness.

View allI've been having some discomfort in my vagina, especially when I'm sitting or walking after having protected sex for the first time. It feels sore, especially around the vestibule, and it sometimes hurts when I pee. I noticed two tiny white spots near the sides of my clit, which feels really sensitive and sore too. I've been taking medication for a urine infection, but my vagina and clit still feel uncomfortable, especially when I'm wearing underwear or tight clothes like jeans. Occasionally, I also feel air bubbles. Is this something I should be worried about? What might be causing these symptoms?
use cotton clothes.

I'm really worried because I noticed these lumps near my vagina, like on both sides, and it's freaking me out. I had a boil about two weeks ago and now there are four lumps. Do you think this could be an infection that's making more lumps pop up? I'm scared and really need some advice on what I should do.
Despite regular brushing and tongue scraping, the white deposit on your tongue can be persistent. Here are some additional remedies and products you can try: *Remedies* 1. *Saltwater rinse*: Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water. Swish the solution around your mouth, focusing on the tongue, and spit it out. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day. 2. *Hydrogen peroxide mouthwash*: Dilute hydrogen peroxide with water (1 part hydrogen peroxide to 2 parts water). Swish the solution around your mouth for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then spit it out. However, use this remedy with caution, as excessive use can damage tooth enamel. 3. *Baking soda*: Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on your tongue and gently scrub it with your toothbrush. Rinse with warm water. 4. *Aloe vera*: Apply aloe vera gel to your tongue using a cotton swab. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce tongue inflammation. *Products* 1. *Tongue brushes*: Instead of a tongue scraper, try using a tongue brush. These brushes have soft bristles that gently remove bacteria and debris from the tongue surface. 2. *Antibacterial mouthwashes*: Look for mouthwashes containing ingredients like chlorhexidine, which can help reduce bacteria and plaque on the tongue. 3. *Tongue sprays*: There are various tongue sprays available that contain ingredients like essential oils, which can help freshen breath and reduce bacteria on the tongue. *Additional Tips* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist and wash away bacteria. 2. *Eat a balanced diet*: A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support your oral health. 3. *Avoid tobacco and smoking*: Tobacco and smoking can contribute to oral health issues, including tongue coating. 4. *Visit your dentist regularly*: Regular dental check-ups can help identify any underlying oral health issues that may be contributing to the white deposit on your tongue.
