Why do recurrent vaginal yeast infection occur in diabetics?
Hi doctor,
I am 38 years old. I am diabetic for the past three years and sugars are not always in control. I am taking medicine Euclide 80 mg and Galvus met 50/500 and Novomix 30 injection 10 units (injection only for few days). My issue is, post diabetes I am experiencing severe recurring yeast infection in vagina and itching in groin area and near anal area. Due to scratch the area has become sensitive and scars and cuts are there. There is burning sensation when the area comes in contact with water. I have tried all Clotrimazole creams (Dres V, Surfaz B, Candid, etc.), but no relief. Itching is severe at night and very uncomfortable. Please help which medicine or cream to apply to stop this infection everytime. I am unsure if that is eczema. Are there any tests which show what kind of infection is that?

My vaginal opening is not circle and the cavity looks unusual. Please help.
Hi doctor,
I have a concern with my vagina. I recently had an STD screening and everything came back negative. But I did not have a herpes test or HPV. My question is, is it normal if the vaginal opening is not a perfect circle? I do not have bumps but the entire cavity seems slightly unusual so I wanted to look into it. Please help.

Hello doctor,
I am a 34-year-old woman who is currently 23 weeks pregnant. I have a history of an irritable uterus, which I experienced during my previous pregnancy as well. In that previous pregnancy, I successfully reached full term with the help of a cerclage and IV medication. However, in my current pregnancy, I do not have a cerclage, and my doctor has prescribed oral Progesterone as part of the management plan. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent contractions, occurring every five minutes and lasting one minute each. While they are not particularly painful and are similar to what I had in my previous pregnancy, I am concerned because I do not have a cerclage this time. My doctor has prescribed Nifedipine 20 mg slow-release tablets for me to take as needed to manage these contractions. Although I have not taken one yet, I am considering doing so now. I am currently taking Progesterone micronized 200 mg twice daily. However, I am a bit apprehensive because I have noticed that my blood pressure readings have been relatively low, ranging from 92 to 99/53 to 60 mm per Hg, as measured over several days. I would like to know if it is safe to take Nifedipine with this blood pressure. Unfortunately, my doctor is currently on vacation and has not responded to my messages. Kindly help.
