I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and my cycle started a day later. I took Plan B, which caused my cycle to stop and start. I then experienced itching, swelling, and a creamy discharge. I used Monistat 1, but the symptoms persisted with a pink discharge that comes and goes, and a sour smell when the pink discharge is noticeable. The discharge is also creamy and watery at times. My last period started on the 12th, and I get it around the 15th regularly. I got tested for STIs over a year ago and had heavy bleeding with clots. What would you recommend for my symptoms?

My lady friend is experiencing chills, fatigue, and low energy for a week, starting the day after a 2-hour walk. She had a dry cough last week and took a COVID assessment. She is 63 years old, has successfully treated epilepsy, and is otherwise healthy. Could this be a TIA or a thyroid issue, and what should be done while waiting for the COVID test results?

I’m having a slight vaginal odor similar to vinegar, with no unusual discharge, pain, or itching. The odor seems to appear after my period for the last two months. I had a bacterial infection two months ago, took a prescription for it, and it went away. My last Pap test was three months ago with normal results, and I was prescribed a NuvaRing, which I used for one month in March. What could be causing this odor, and what can I do to address it?

I am 6 weeks pregnant and had severe stomach pain near the belly button that was almost constant, achey/stabbing, and reduced after passing stool. I had food from a restaurant yesterday and am worried if I am going through a miscarriage again. What could be the cause of the pain?
