I’m traveling abroad and think I have a yeast infection. It started about a week ago with blister-like bumps and some itching. I’ve been using isoconazole nitrate (travogen) for 7 days, which has helped a bit but hasn’t fully resolved the issue. The infection started after being sexually active, and I’m concerned because I used to get yeast infections regularly but not with bumps or blisters. What could be causing this and how can I treat it effectively?

I had an operative lap in January 2011 where active endometriosis was found on various parts of my body, including the bladder and uterus. I had a hysterectomy in March 2011, but the endometriosis returned. I've tried birth control and Lupron, but neither has helped. What should I do now about the existing endometriosis?

What could a friable area in the cervix be if all my Pap smears have been good for many years, including a negative HPV test two years ago? Additionally, what is the significance of a 3 cm growth found during a vaginal ultrasound, and can it still be an infection or something else?

My daughter is 6 weeks pregnant and has a history of an ovarian cyst causing pain. She recently complained that her vagina hurts so badly she can't wash it. She has no insurance and hasn't seen a doctor in months. She is not taking any medications or vitamins and was previously exercising weekly with yoga and splits. What should we do?

I am a 24-year-old female who recently noticed white hard bumps on my labia majora. I've never had a pap test before and have only had unprotected sex for the past 4 months. I am not experiencing pain, itching, or vaginal discharge, and I shave regularly. Can you help diagnose the issue and provide advice?
