I'm having a bit of a concern during sex with my husband. At the start of intercourse, I'm experiencing some biting or stinging sensation near the entrance of my vagina. I've had sex multiple times before and never had this issue. Also, I've noticed a thick white discharge coming from my vagina, not watery at all. After having sex, I noticed a bit of hard blood, like the kind I usually see during my periods. I'm just wondering why this suddenly started happening. Could it be a sign of something?

The sudden onset of vaginal biting or stinging sensations during sex, accompanied by abnormal white discharge and post-coital spotting, may indicate an underlying condition such as vaginal dryness, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or a possible allergic reaction; it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a thorough examination

I've been a bit anxious lately because back in December, I used Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I did get my period once I stopped taking them. But the thing is, now it's January, and I haven't had my period yet. I'm really wondering if this could be a side effect from the Meprate I took last month, or should I be thinking about taking a pregnancy test? What's your take on this?

I'm really concerned about my wife. She started having sudden shivering at night, and it's the third day of her monthly period. There's no fever, so I gave her hot milk and a 650 mg dose of paracetamol. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this. Could it be related to her period, or is there something else going on?

Shivering may be caused due to hormonal imbalance or dehydration and muscle cramps. It is advisable to get a blood test done for safety, but there should be no major cause for concern.

I had two tetanus shots about a year and a half ago while I was pregnant. Now, I'm pregnant again and got a small scratch on my finger from a somewhat rusty scissor. Barely any blood came out, but I'm worried. Do I need another tetanus shot, or are the previous ones still enough to protect me?

no problem you have to take
