I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person.

Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms.

However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years.

In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon.

Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced.

It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.

I've had this really painful pimple on my vaginal lip for about a week now, and it has pus. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you may have a painful cyst or abscess, possibly a Bartholin's gland cyst, which can become infected and filled with pus. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an evaluation and potential drainage if necessary, and to avoid squeezing or irritating it further in the meantime.
