I fell against a hand basin and have what I think is either a bruised or cracked rib on my left side. I am a 64-year-old female and the pain is still very sharp and constant since Friday night. I am taking Panamax, blood pressure medication, and cholesterol tablets. I also have osteoporosis and arthritis. Is there any use going to a doctor?

I have a rash on the outside of my vagina and anus that started 1 1/2 weeks ago. It burns sometimes and feels raw. The rash comes and goes with severity, especially when it's hotter. It's sometimes itchy but mostly burns, and I also have a random sore on my lower buttock that won't go away. I ride horses for work and frequently get heat rash, but I know this is different. I had unprotected sexual intercourse 2 weeks ago, and symptoms appeared 2 days later. I was diagnosed with strep throat last week and finished my Z-pack 3 days ago. I am using store-brand A&D ointment and baby powder. What could be causing the rash, and what should I do?

I'm a 22-year-old female experiencing pain with initial insertion during intercourse. The pain is consistent every time before intercourse. I've been using vaginal dilators since March, but I'm still having pain with initial insertion. I can't insert anything without resistance or pain. It feels like something is blocking the entrance from being able to insert anything effortlessly and pain-free. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?
