Persistent Vulvovaginal Itching and Odor
For the past 6 to 7 months, I have been experiencing persistent and intense vulvovaginal itching accompanied by a foul-smelling vaginal odor and even white discharge. The discomfort has been ongoing for half a year without resolving, and I would like to undergo an evaluation—including any necessary exams or swab tests—to identify the underlying cause, whether infectious or dermatological, and receive an appropriate prescription treatment plan.
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.

Symetrical iugr placenta insufficiency
My wife had week 29 color doppler ultrasound and the fetal growth showing each part almost 2 week behind proportionate. HC, AC, FL all are equally behind. And she had placental insufficiency since week 12 and baby unambilical cords are normal. So, is this a genetic issue or because of placenta? Because placenta insufficiency cause asymetric iugr but ours showing symetric. Please advise
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?
