I've been experiencing some discomfort with vaginal itching and have noticed rashes in that area. It's also swollen, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicines or ointments that might help with this?

If the itching and swelling are localized to the external area, you can apply clotrimazole (an antifungal cream) or hydrocortisone (a mild anti-inflammatory) externally. These can help reduce itching and swelling.

I've been taking folic acid and multivitamins for three months now, and my husband just had minor piles surgery. Should we be careful about anything during his recovery or with my supplements? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect us

Folic acid supplements are safe, and your husband should follow post-operative care for piles. No major precautions are needed unless advised by the surgeon.
