I'm really confused right now since my period is 36 days late. I took a pregnancy test two weeks back and it came out negative, but I'm experiencing a bunch of pregnancy symptoms. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be worried about something else going on? What steps should I take from here?

It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a different brand of pregnancy test or a blood test for a more accurate result. If pregnancy is ruled out and your period is still delayed, your doctor may recommend further investigations or prescribe medication such as Provera (medroxyprogesterone) to help induce a period.

I've been experiencing some dryness in my vaginal area and it's starting to itch really badly. On top of that, I've noticed some spots similar to pimples appearing too. I'm really not sure what's going on and could use some advice on what to do next. I live in Mulund but I didn't see Mumbai as an option. Can you help me figure this out?

You can use an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) cream or suppositories. Apply the cream externally around the vagina or insert the suppository into the vagina according to the package instructions. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I have a 5.5cm intramural fundal fibroid and my doctor recommended open surgery instead of laparoscopic. I'm planning for pregnancy soon should I go ahead with the surgery? What are the possible complications? Would abdominal open surgery be better than laparoscopic in my case?

It's generally recommended to address large fibroids, like yours, before attempting pregnancy, as they can interfere with implantation, growth, and delivery. Open surgery might be considered over laparoscopic for very large or multiple fibroids. Open surgery also carries a higher risk of complications like scarring, blood loss, and adhesions. Ultimately, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery depends on your individual circumstances, including the fibroid's size, location, your overall health, and your fertility goals
