I'm feeling a bit concerned and confused. Our gynecologist recommended this 'suggest 200' medication after a cervical scan showed my wife has a low-lying placenta at four months pregnant. I've read that taking this isn't usually advised during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this? Is it safe, and should we be worried about potential effects?

Progesterone tablets are used in pregnancy to support embryonic implantation, prevent preterm labor and miscarriage, and manage pregnancy-related conditions, typically prescribed at 100-200 mg daily from week 2-12 of pregnancy.

I'm experiencing a burning sensation near my vaginal area when I pee, and there's also itching around that area and my anus. I've noticed there are some small pimples near my vagina too. What could this be and should I be worried?
Burning sensation near the vaginal area when passing urine and feeling itching near vaginal area and anus and I can feel a small pimples down the vagina. These symptoms could indicate a possible yeast infection or a bacterial infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal cream like Monistat for yeast infection. Apply it externally around the vaginal area and follow the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen for the burning sensation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been having this sudden, really sharp pain in my vagina that only lasts a few seconds, but it's happening at least once a day now. On top of that, I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my abdomen. My periods have been all over the place too; sometimes they skip a couple of months, and other times they're on time. It's kind of worrying, and I'm curious to know what's causing this stabbing painit's so intense it leaves me speechless for a moment. Is it like muscle contractions or something?
The sharp, stabbing pain youre experiencing could be due to ovarian cysts, pelvic muscle spasms, or hormonal fluctuations, especially considering your irregular periods. It's important to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough examination and possible imaging to determine the exact cause and manage your symptoms effectively.
