Which blood tests or imaging analyses are most effective for checking the condition of vessels/arteries to prevent stroke and heart attack? I am 29.5 years old, with no diabetes or high blood pressure, but have high cholesterol and a family history of cardiovascular issues. I want to know if CT or MRI scans can help in early detection and prevention of stroke or heart attack risks.

I got treated for chlamydia a week ago. Three days later, I got fingered. Will this ruin my treatment or make it more likely that I still have the infection? Additionally, if I used a sex toy before and after treatment, but cleaned it after each use, could I be re-infected?

I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and haven't had a true period since February 29. I am not using contraceptives, take multivitamins, and exercise moderately. I have a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but have had regular periods for the last four years. My blood work showed only estradiol at 424 on May 1, which dropped after spotting for seven days, and all other hormones, including thyroid, were within range. What could be causing my period to be delayed or missing?
