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 found out I have a 6cm fibroid near my left ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopy - can this type of surgery completely remove it or would I need a bigger abdominal operation? I'm worried about whether laparoscopy will be enough to take care of it or if the fibroid might need more invasive treatment
A 6cm fibroid near your left ovary warrants consideration for removal, and laparoscopy is a viable option. Laparoscopy allows for minimally invasive surgical removal of fibroids, particularly those up to 7-8cm, according to Ankuran IVF Clinic. Your doctor's recommendation is likely due to the fibroid's size, its location near the ovary, and potentially the presence of symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain.

I'm a little worried because I didn't take the first dose of mifepristone like I was supposed to. If I go ahead with the second and third doses, will the abortion pill still work, or is it necessary to have taken the first dose for it to be effective?
If you missed the first dose of Mifepristone, it's essential to consult the prescribing doctor or a healthcare provider for guidance; taking only the second and third doses (Misoprostol) may not be effective in inducing abortion, and the regimen's efficacy and safety may be compromised; seek medical advice to discuss the best course of action and potential alternatives

I'm really worried because after having the HSG test this morning, my abdomen is in a lot of pain and I've developed a fever. I've also noticed some blood in my underwear. Can you recommend any painkillers that might help with this? I'm not sure if these symptoms are normal after the test.
Mild pain, cramping, and spotting are common after an HSG test. You can manage the discomfort with ibuprofen or paracetamol. If you have a fever, make sure to monitor it closely. If the symptoms worsen or don't improve in a day or two, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation
