I have a persistent UTI and need antibiotic advice. I am also 21 weeks pregnant. I have been told that I have an Enterobacter cloacae bacteria that is not susceptible to Macrobid or Keflex and is susceptible to Bactrim. I would like to inquire about the safety of Bactrim during pregnancy, specifically for 21 weeks in the second trimester.

I had a missed abortion in December 2012. My periods were regular until March 2013 when I started trying to conceive with my husband. I didn't have periods in June and July, and a pregnancy test was negative. I took medication to induce a period in August, which was normal for 7 days. Now, on August 29th, I'm experiencing spotting again. Do I have any problems with my uterus?

My nineteen-year-old daughter just got results from her first pap test, showing pre-cancerous cells. Her doctor wants her to get a biopsy after her period. What does this mean, and what should we expect in terms of treatment and future risk?

I am 69 years old and finished menopause about 18 years ago. In the last couple of years, I have been experiencing hot flashes, sometimes 3 times a day and sometimes once every 3 weeks. I have had no gynecological surgeries and took replacement hormones for about 8 years. Could I possibly have a gynecological tumor that is producing weird hormones or could it be an adrenal malfunction?

I am 50 years old and in full menopause after having a hysterectomy at age 40 due to large fibroids, with one ovary left. My doctor now advises removing the remaining ovary. If I do remove the ovary, will I be at risk for heart disease or any other negative side effects?
