I'm dealing with some itching and dryness around my vaginal area and inner thighs, and it's been going on for about a month now. I'm trying to figure out whether I should see a dermatologist, a urologist, or a general physician about this. Could you guide me on who would be the best specialist to consult for these symptoms?

I'm just a bit concerned, could you help me out? My wife just had her regular scan, and the doctor says everything seems fine. The baby is now weighing in at 3.1kg, and she's just started her 9th month of pregnancy. Back in the beginning of the 8th month, the baby was 1.7kg. Is this weight of 3.1kg okay for a normal delivery? The doc mentioned the presentation is cephalic and that the liquid level is adequate. Just want to make sure everything's on track!

Can I drink milk during my period?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.
