Periods delay
Had unprotected intercourse on May 24 and took i-pill within 10 hours. I had no spotting or bleeding afterward. My periods usually come between the 6th and 10th of each month. On June 6, I had a period which is a bit heavy than the usual flow for 4–5 days and stopped. Could this have been spotting or was it a regular period? My next period came on July 7 and lasted 4–5 days with my usual flow. I have had no intercourse since May 24. Today is August 11, and my period hasn't come yet. Could I still be pregnant, or is this delay likely due to the pill? When can I expect my period?
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.
