I've been having this really intense itching in my vulva for about a month now. It mostly gets worse at night. I did take an ipill around the same time, and I'm wondering if that could be linked to the itching. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to relieve it?

View allI'm 9 weeks pregnant and need to terminate because I'm not married and my boyfriend wants an abortion. Are there any pills I can take for a medical abortion or do I have to get surgery? I really prefer pills since nobody knows about my pregnancy and I want to keep it private. Can you help me figure out my options?
Mifepristone is taken first, and it works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining pregnancy. Misoprostol is taken later and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Medical abortions are typically only recommended for pregnancies up to 10 weeks

I've been sexually active for the past four years and I'm worried that my vagina might have lost some of its tightness. Is that something that can actually happen, and if so, what can I do to tighten it?
It's normal for the vaginal muscles to stretch over time, especially with sexual activity and childbirth. To help tighten the area, you can try pelvic floor exercises like Kegels, which strengthen the muscles. If you're concerned, consulting a gynecologist can provide more personalized advice.

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've been having a really bad throat infection along with a blocked nose and cough. My gynecologist advised me to take Augmentin 625 Duo, which I've been on for the past two days. The cough was quite bad, so I decided to start Montek LC as well. I took a dose at about 3 PM yesterday, and then another half dose at midnight. I'm continuing with the antibiotics for another three days to finish the course. Can you tell me if taking these medications together is safe?
It's generally safe to take Augmentin 625 Duo (amoxicillin-clavulanate) as prescribed by your gynecologist for 5 days, and Montek LC (montelukast) as needed for cough, but taking an extra half dose of Montek LC at midnight may not be necessary, so consult your doctor to confirm the dosage and ensure safe use during pregnancy, as both medications are category B, meaning animal studies have shown no harm, but human studies are limited.
