I'm really worried because I've noticed pinworms in my vaginathere were three of them. It's been happening for about a week now, and I can actually feel them moving around down there. What should I do?

Pinworms can cause irritation and inflammation in the vaginal area in rare cases of heavy infestation. The parasite can travel from the anal area to the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic organs. This can lead to complications such as vaginitis and endometritis.So you have to take combination therapy with oral mebendazole (Vermox) and ivermectin (Stromectol

I'm really worried because my period usually starts on the 17th, but after having sex with my boyfriend on the 23rd, I got pregnant. I took an i-pill right after, and my period came early on the 2nd, which got me really stressed out. Now it's the 3rd, and I'm still not having my period. What should I do?
