Can boric acid and Nextstellis aid Bacterial Vaginosis?

Hi! I was wondering what's your take on boric acid for reoccurring Bacterial Vaginosis And if Nextstellis birth control pills could help Bacterial Vaginosis as well? And what probiotics are best for Bacterial Vaginosis?

Boric acid has shown some effectiveness in managing recurring bacterial vaginosis due to its ability to restore normal vaginal flora. Regarding birth control, Nextstellis may help by regulating hormones but isn’t specifically indicated for this condition. Symptoms include unusual discharge, odor, and irritation. Probiotics like Lactobacillus can support a healthy vaginal environment, potentially helping to prevent recurrence. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options. They can guide you on the best approach based on your health history and specific situation.

Irregular periods can be caused by several factors . Stress, weight changes, and HORMONAL imbalances are common causes. A light period can be normal, but also a cause for concern . Consult a doctor immidiately . Remember, it is important to take care of your reproductive health.

i am a 20 yr old female. i had my last period from 9-13 june, on 16th june i had unprotected sex and took an emergency pill- Unwanted72 within 2 hours. I have not yet gotten my periods, 2 days ago a pregnancy test which came negative. Although i’m 10 days late and have not yet gotten my periods. Should i be concerned? or is this normal?

The pill can sometimes interfere with the menstrual cycle, leading to a delayed period. Stress, weight, and diet changes, as well as hormonal problems, can also cause menstrual irregularities. You do not need to worry right now, you were not pregnant and it was less than a week ago.

I have my menstrual period due for 27th May, it is my Boyfriend's birthday, when and how should I start the medicine dose for delaying periods? How will that medicine work?

If you're considering using medication to delay your menstrual period, talk to a gynecologist first. They can guide you on using hormonal birth control pills.. Starting active pills a few days before your expected period and continuing as directed can help delay your period. Always follow medical advice for your safety.

It’s good that you’ve been taking pregnancy tests but they may not always detect pregnancy at its early stages. There could be many things that may make you feel something strange in your abdomen. The ball and beat feeling could be connected with muscles or other organs. Late or irregular periods can also be caused by many different reasons. You need to have a scan done so that you can know what is happening.

I am 28 years .I want to concive for 2nd time . I am trying for 2 months .

Female | 28

Trying for a sibling and not getting pregnant immediately is completely normal. Two months isn't a long time, so there is no need to worry too much yet. To increase your chances, you should track your ovulation period, have sex during that time, stay healthy, and avoid stress. Additionally, the partner should be healthy as well.

M having issues with my vaginal discharge

Female | 20

You should see a gynecologist for examination of your vaginal discharge. The discharge may vary in color, odor, and consistency depending on the underlying condition. The only way to establish the cause of this problem and prescribe appropriate treatment is a specialty diagnosis.
