Health Q&A
Irregular periods

My periods started at age 14 and became irregular around age 15. At age 16, I was told that I had ovarian cysts and was prescribed medicines to regulate my periods. I was also given another large pink-colored tablet, but I don’t remember its name. After taking the medicines, I experienced sudden weight gain. I later consulted another doctor who said the previous medicine dosage may not have been appropriate. PCOD/PCOS was never confirmed. My periods are still very irregular—sometimes I don’t get them for around 3 months and sometimes up to 9 months. I want to know the possible cause and what tests or evaluation I need.

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 ?
