Question 1

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person.

Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms.

However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years.

In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon.

Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced.

It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.

Question 3

I've been in a bit of a dilemma. So, I had unprotected sex with my husband on the third day of my period and decided to take the i-pill just to be safe. Now, my period is way overdue; it's been about 15 days late. I went to see a gynecologist, and she prescribed Meprate 10mg. But I'm unsure about what to do next. Should I just wait it out and see if my period comes naturally, even though it's delayed? Or should I go ahead and take the Meprate to kickstart my cycle? I'm also concerned if there might be any side effects if I start taking it. Will I end up having to rely on medication to get my period from now on? Could really use some advice here.

Misses periods is the common sideeffects of ipill. Don't take meprate as it would thicken ur internal lining which has already thickened by ipill causing further periods problem. Just wait u would eventually get ur periods as ipill has got a high success rate

I'm planning for pregnancy and sometimes I need to take montair Lc as my doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried though. Could this affect my pregnancy planning in any way?

Montair LC, containing montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but consult your doctor before planning a pregnancy while taking this medication, as they may recommend alternative treatments or close monitoring to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
