Is there a real difference between using Vagifem tablets and Estrace cream for hormone replacement therapy? Do you have a preference of using one product over the other? What have your patients found? Additionally, what factors do you consider before prescribing Premarin over Estrace, and is there a difference in the dose of hormones between these two products?

I have a UTI. Do I need to go to a doctor for medicine, or can I get it somewhere else since it’s going to be the weekend? My symptoms include frequent urination every 2-3 minutes, intense burning sensation during urination, and no blood in the urine. I am 21 years old and not on any regular medications.

I had unprotected sex today and my last menstrual period was on the 12th. I am 25 years old with no symptoms. I want to avoid pregnancy. Is there anything else in my medical history the doctor should know?

I went to the doctor today because I was short of breath upon exertion, like going up steps, which just started a few days ago. The doctor prescribed me a Prednisone pack and I've only taken 20 mg of it. They did a chest X-ray (CXR) and asked if I could be pregnant, to which I initially said no but later found out I am pregnant. I'm worried about the X-ray and the Prednisone. I'm also taking Prozac, which I've been on for a long time. Is it safe to take while pregnant? How will the X-ray and Prednisone affect me or the pregnancy?
