I've been using boric acid suppositories for BV and noticed a grainy, sugar-textured substance in my discharge. I'm concerned it might be a yeast infection and can't go to the doctor right now. What can I do or take as a precaution if I start itching or burning?

I just learned I have APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome) and MTHFR (a genetic mutation). I have experienced recurring miscarriages. Do I need Lovenox (a blood thinner)? My current OB doesn’t have an appointment available for another month, and I ovulated a few days ago. I fear I might not make it to 8 weeks if I get pregnant before then. What should I do?

I have a platelet count of 125,000 and have been referred to a hematologist. My WBC and RBC counts are normal. I’m very nervous. Should I be?

I got eye filler six weeks ago and still have bruising. The bruise seems to be getting worse. I am 40 years old, take medications for depression/anxiety and birth control, and use arnica on the bruise. I also take a collagen supplement, vitamin E, and fish oil. I had jaw surgery in May. Is this prolonged bruising normal, and should I stop taking vitamin E and fish oil?

I have had three plantar warts for about a year. They have not improved or worsened, do not hurt, and are visually unappealing. Two are the same color as my skin, and one is white. They all look like 'holes'. I am currently using Yaz and Lexapro, and I tried a plantar wart remover pad without success. I am 28 years old. What should I do about these warts?
