Why do I have vaginal infection & pimples at 20?
It's common to experience discomfort during menstruation, and vaginal infections can cause symptoms like itching, soreness, and irritation. This could be due to factors such as hormonal changes, irritants, or an imbalance of normal bacteria. To alleviate these symptoms, maintain good hygiene, wear breathable cotton underwear, and avoid scented products. Over-the-counter antifungal or antibacterial creams may provide relief. However, it's best to see a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, as they can offer tailored advice and ensure appropriate care.

Could abdominal pain and fever indicate recurring health issues?
Pain in the lower abdomen that radiates can be linked to several conditions, including complications from your previous endometriosis or ongoing abdominal tuberculosis treatment. Persistent low-grade fever may indicate inflammation or infection. It’s crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. I strongly recommend reaching out to your gastroenterologist, who can perform necessary evaluations and adjust your treatment if needed.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort and ongoing symptoms, which could stem from various issues, including skin conditions, circulation problems, or inflammation.

Fallen off bike, leg swelling and pain - what now?
It sounds like you may have experienced a sprain or bruise, which can lead to swelling and discomfort. This reaction is your body’s way of protecting the injured area. To ease symptoms, try rest, ice, compression, and elevation—often referred to as RICE. Applying ice for 15-20 minutes every few hours can help reduce swelling, while keeping the limb elevated encourages fluid drainage. However, if pain persists, mobility decreases, or you notice severe swelling or bruising, it’s wise to see a orthopedist for a thorough examination.

Why Do I Have Nipple Pain and Spotting?
Nipple discomfort can often be linked to hormonal changes, particularly around your menstrual cycle, which might explain the spotting and mild abdominal cramps you're experiencing. Potential causes can include premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast tissue sensitivity, or changes in hormonal levels. It’s important to monitor your symptoms and consider using supportive bras, applying warm compresses, or taking over-the-counter pain relief if needed. However, if the pain persists, worsens, or if you have additional concerns, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

Can Head and Neck Pain be Bearable?
I understand that severe discomfort in the head and neck can be very distressing. This type of pain may arise from muscle tension, poor posture, or even stress. Symptoms can include stiffness, throbbing, or radiating sensations. It’s important to manage this discomfort through gentle stretching, proper hydration, and applying a warm compress to relax muscles. While these strategies can help, I encourage you to seek advice from a neurologist if pain persists or worsens. They can provide a proper evaluation and tailored treatment plan to ensure you find relief and return to your daily activities comfortably.
