Health Q&A
Pregnancy related
Im 18 weeks pregnant and in my last scan my cervix length was about 2.8 cm. My doc said that the cervix is a little short and should be able to carry full term as in my last pregnancy i delivered at 38 weeks. He has not asked me for cerclage till now. I have been put on duvadilan retard twice a day. What precautions should i take? Can i go out normally for lunch and dinners or should i rest at home full time?
Fever and cold before periods

Persistent Vulvovaginal Itching and Odor
For the past 6 to 7 months, I have been experiencing continuous, severe itching in my vulvar area, along with a persistent, foul-smelling vaginal odor. Because these symptoms have lasted for several months without resolving, I would like to get a full evaluation to determine the underlying cause and discuss appropriate treatment options."
Period delay
I wanted to ask about my girlfriend's delayed period. Her last period started on June 28, and we expected her next period around July 28, but she still hasn't gotten it. We were intimate between July 2 and July 6, but there was no vaginal intercourse or penetration. We only had oral sex and fingering, and there was no ejaculation. She also took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. Given this situation, is pregnancy a concern, or could the delayed period be due to other reasons? Should we wait a little longer for her period, or would you recommend that she consult a gynecologist or get any tests done?
