I'm looking for advice on safe ways to prevent pregnancy aside from using condoms. Could you share some options that are completely risk-free and safe?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Aside from condoms, the most reliable and safe methods to avoid pregnancy include hormonal birth control (like birth control pills, patches, or implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent solutions like sterilization. It's important to consult your doctor to choose the method best suited to your health and lifestyle.

View allI've got my scan results, and it shows Crl at 0.48cm, G.A is 6 weeks 1 day, E.D.D is 12042022, Heartbeat is regular at 124Bpm, and a summary of normal pregnancy size for 6 weeks and 1 day. There's also a left ovarian simple cyst. I'm just wondering, based on these results, should I go for another scan in a week, or is everything looking okay for now?

I'm really concerned about what's going on with my vulva. It feels really itchy and sensitive, and I've noticed I keep getting these cuts or tears where my labia minora attaches. Sometimes they even bleed. The area around my vulva, especially where the hair starts, is really dry and looks white, plus it's super itchy. There's this white layer covering the vulva, and the whole area seems unusually dry. On top of that, there's a foul smell that I can't ignore. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection or a bacterial infection in the vulva area. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using scented products or harsh soaps. If the symptoms persist, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My sister has two large fibroids in her uterus and doctors have recommended laparoscopy surgery, saying it might be a critical case. We're looking for the best laparoscopy surgeon but we're from Chhattisgarh, so traveling just for consultation is tough. Can you help with an estimated cost and suggest good options?
