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. 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."

Pregnancy planning

I'm 28yrs old, had one abortion at 5.5 weeks in June. I am planning for pregnancy in late this year or may be Jan 2027. Please suggest when should I start taking folic acid and other medications to conceive and everything goes well. No smoking/drinking. Working out and trying to be on healthy diet on most days. Please suggest ?

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?
