I went to see a family physician last night who examined my vagina and said it was highly unlikely that I would have an STD based on not seeing any herpes blisters and not having switched sexual partners within around 70 days. He noticed lacerations but no herpes blisters. My symptoms like pain, itching, and swelling have gone down minimally day by day. The labia majora is not swollen or tender anymore, but the labia minora and the area around the vagina entry still have lacerations and are very tender to touch. How long can I expect these spots to fully heal, and should I be concerned if they are still tender after 10 days? Additionally, do you have any advice to help with pain after urinating?

I have a swollen red eyelid that feels tender when I blink. It has been this way for two days, and I have not used any medication. There was a small pimple-like lesion on my upper lashline yesterday, but it is no longer there. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I've been experiencing severe pain for 4 days, initially in my stomach and then in my back, which feels like it could be a kidney stone. The pain alternates between my back and stomach, and I vomited once feeling dizzy. I'm not sure if it's a kidney stone and haven't taken any medication. What do you think it might be?

My doctor told me it's okay to stop taking my depression medication since it is the lowest dosage of 25mg Zoloft. Is that true, and if so, how should I go about stopping it to avoid withdrawal symptoms?
