My wife is about 5 months pregnant and she's been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable itching for the past couple of weeks. I'm really concerned about it and wondering if there's any safe medicine or anything we could try to help with this.

For itching during pregnancy, especially in the 5th month, consider the following options under medical guidance: topical creams like calamine lotion, aqueous cream, or E45 cream; oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine; or natural remedies like coconut oil, olive oil, or oatmeal baths; however, always consult your obstetrician before administering any medication to ensure safety for both mother and fetus.

I'm a bit confused about some medication my doctor mentioned. They advised me to take Duphaston, and I'm also hearing about Jigest. Are they basically the same thing? Could you explain the difference, if there is any?

I've recently gotten engaged and I'm kind of worried because every time I meet my fianc, I end up getting really wet down there. It's a bit embarrassing sometimes because it even wets through my panties. It's an arranged marriage, so we haven't been intimate yet. Is this normal, or should I talk to a gynecologist about it? Is there anything I can do to reduce the wetness? It's making me feel a bit uncomfortable. Any advice would really help.

It's normal only it's physiological Don't worry
