  5. I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a month pregnant and I took a period tablet recently. Can that cause an abortion or will it make my period start again? I'm really anxious and need to understand what might happen.

I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes: - Hormonal imbalance - Stress - Medication side effects - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - Thyroid issues Next steps: 1. Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test. 2. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history. 3. Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.
