I'm experiencing a really unbearable itch right at the entrance of my vagina, and there's this white, curd-like discharge coming from it. It also gets swollen if I scratch it. This just started yesterday, but it's already the second time this year that it's happened. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal medication. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry to help ease the discomfort.

I'm really worried and could use some help. My girlfriend and I had sex the day after her period ended, and I gave her an Unwanted 72 pill 48 hours later. A week after taking the pill, she got her period again, and a blood test showed negative for pregnancy. But now, it's been a month since all that, and she hasn't gotten her period again. She's feeling pain in her stomach and like there's something moving in a circular way. Could you tell me what might be going on?

I'm curious if having my uterus removed could lead to heart disease or heart failure down the road. My ovaries are still there and functioning normally. Do I need to worry about any heart-related issues because of this?

Heart disease and heart failure can still occur even after the removal of the uterus as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. The risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity can still contribute to heart issues. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In case of any symptoms or concerns, medications like Aspirin and Statins can be prescribed to manage heart conditions.
