I've been experiencing some dryness in my vaginal area and it's starting to itch really badly. On top of that, I've noticed some spots similar to pimples appearing too. I'm really not sure what's going on and could use some advice on what to do next. I live in Mulund but I didn't see Mumbai as an option. Can you help me figure this out?

You can use an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) cream or suppositories. Apply the cream externally around the vagina or insert the suppository into the vagina according to the package instructions. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. It is also important to maintain good hygiene and wear cotton underwear to keep the area dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'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.

Can you have PCOS but still have regular periods? My ultrasound just mentioned I have bilateral polycystic ovaries, not PCOS or PCOD. What does that mean?
Bilateral polycystic ovaries, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries produce too many androgens, which are hormones that prevent follicles from maturing and releasing eggs. This results in the ovaries becoming enlarged and containing many small cysts. PCOS is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms include: Irregular or missed periods Excess hair growth Acne Weight gain Darkening of the skin Skin tags Thinning hair

I've been experiencing nausea, cramps, fatigue, and headaches six days after having intercourse and taking the i-pill. I'm really worried and wondering if these are side effects of the i-pill or if they could be early signs of pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?
The symptoms you're experiencingnausea, cramps, fatigue, and headacheare likely side effects of the i-pill, as it contains a high dose of hormones that can cause such reactions. However, to rule out pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test if your period is delayed. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
