As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.

I've noticed that the skin on the right side between my vagina and anus feels hard, almost like there's a lump under the skin. It's quite painful, and I'm really concerned. I'm wondering if this could be something harmful?

This could be due to a condition called a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the pain and swelling. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics or drainage of the cyst may be necessary.

I'm a 37-year-old woman and recently I had a lot of vaginal discharge with some itching, so my doctor gave me clingen forte vaginal capsules. I finished the whole treatment and I'm not having those symptoms anymore. But now I'm five days late for my ...

there is no evidence that use of clingen forte suppositiries delay periods . But if u are a sexually active person would advise to go for a urine pregnancy test and if it comes negative to go ahead with a b hcg blood test that will be definitive of ruling out any pregnancy. In case both negative then it would be advised to visit the gynaecologist for further treatmen

I'm concerned about my breast size because they seem really small and it's been a bit of a struggle for me. I'm 28 now and I've tried massaging to help them grow, but it's just painful and hasn't worked for me. Can you suggest anything that might help?

If massage is not helping and causing pain, you may consider speaking with your doctor about the possibility of using hormonal therapy. One common medication used for this purpose is "Ethinyl estradiol and Drospirenone" in the form of oral contraceptive pills. The dosage and duration would need to be determined by your doctor after a thorough evaluation. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm a bit confused and hoping you can help. My wife is 16 weeks pregnant now and her first trimester scan at 8 weeks showed a normal single live intrauterine pregnancy. She's currently staying at her mom's and we're trying to figure out by when she s...

The Anomaly scan (second trimester scan) is typically performed between 18-22 weeks of gestation, so your wife should plan to return and schedule the scan around 18-20 weeks, i.e., within the next 2-4 weeks.

I had two periods in one month. My first period started on May 5th and then another one on May 20th. I'm trying to figure out when my fertile window might be. Could you help me understand this better?

-Having two periods in one month could make predicting your fertile window tricky. If your cycle is irregular, ovulation might not follow a standard pattern. However, if we consider the second cycle (May 20th) as your baseline, ovulation could occur aroun
