I've been dealing with severe itching around my penny line and the lips of my vagina for a while now. I've already been treated for infections like fungal and bacterial, and all my urine and swab tests came back clear, but the itching just won't go away. There's no sign of lesions, just some redness after I scratch. When I do itch, it feels like I've got tons of little cuts and burns until I put some oil or cold water on it. Any idea what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called vulvar dermatitis, which can cause itching, redness, and irritation without visible lesions. Since infections have been ruled out, it could be due to an allergic reaction, skin sensitivity, or even friction. I recommend following up with a dermatologist or gynecologist for a more thorough examination and to explore treatment options such as soothing creams or anti-inflammatory medications.

View allI'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?
While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

I'm really worried about my 23-year-old wife. She's in her 31st week of pregnancy, and her hemoglobin level is at 9.3. Earlier, her doctor had her on Lupiheme twice daily, but now she's switched to RicherCR and recommended two Revofer injections with NS as IV. I'm concerned if the Revofer injections are safe during pregnancy. We noticed her hemoglobin didn't really go up with just the tablets. Should we go ahead with the injections, or is there hope her levels might increase with the tablets? Can you help us out with some guidance?
Given your wife's low hemoglobin level (9.3) at 31 weeks pregnant, the doctor's recommendation to administer two Revofer (iron sucrose) injections with Normal Saline (NS) as IV is a common practice to rapidly increase iron levels; Revofer is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to monitor for potential side effects, such as allergic reactions or hypotension; since oral iron supplements (Lupiheme and RicherCR) haven't significantly increased her hemoglobin levels, IV iron may be necessary to prevent maternal and fetal complications associated with iron deficiency anemia.

I'm feeling some pain after fingering my vagina yesterday. Now it hurts when I walk or when I pee, and there's this dull pain in my lower abdomen. Could you suggest any tablets or remedies to help ease this pain?
It sounds like you might be experiencing irritation or inflammation, which can occur after vigorous activity. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any infection or injury, but in the meantime, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (if you're not allergic) may help reduce the discomfort. Drink plenty of water, and avoid any further irritation.
