I'm noticing this thin white layer around my vagina that sometimes curdles up into a creamy texture. It's been itchy at certain times during the day, specifically on one of the labia minora where it looks like there's some extra skin development with tiny eruptions, and there's white stuff inside. There's no burning sensation, bad smell, or discharge though. It's been like this for 3 days with no changes. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Your symptoms, including a thin white layer around the vagina, curdling into a creamy texture, itching on the labia minora, and tiny eruptions with white contents, suggest a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis), but the absence of a foul odor and discharge makes it less clear-cut; consult a gynecologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment, as other conditions like vulvar dermatitis could also be possible causes.

I'm a 26-year-old pregnant woman currently taking ecosprin 75 mg as my doctor advised. I'm a bit worried and just wanted to check if it's safe to continue using this medication during pregnancy. Can you help clarify this for me?

Ecosprin 75 mg (aspirin) is generally considered safe for pregnant women in low doses, but only under medical supervision, as it can help reduce the risk of preeclampsia and pregnancy complications; however, always follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring to minimize potential risks to you and your baby.

I'm really confused and could use some advice. Is it okay for girls to eat eggs and drink milk while on their periods? I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about it, and it's making me worry about what I should or shouldn't be eating during that time. Is there any truth to these claims, or is it safe to include them in my diet? Would love some insight to clear up this confusion!
