I've missed my periods for the last two months and it's really worrying me. I'm experiencing irregular periods, and I'm not sure what could be causing this. Could you please help me understand what's going on and if there's anything I should be doing?

I'm experiencing itching around my vaginal area and buttocks. It looks like a fungal infection, and there's also some swelling. What could this be, and how should I deal with it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I have a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst and I've been taking Navelon for a month without breaks. Since I don't have any pain and weigh 46 kg, is there a chance the cyst will shrink enough to avoid surgery?

While taking Novelon continuously for a month may help with pain and slow the growth of a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst, it's unlikely to shrink it enough to avoid surgery, especially if the cyst is large and causing significant issues. Surgery is often recommended for cysts larger than 8 cm or if they cause pain or infertility problems
