Hello, ever since I’ve had a new sexual partner I’ve had a very uncomfortable vaginal odor. I’ve already gone for tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea and they’ve come back negative. I have no idea what to do I have never experienced this before. How long have you dealt with the odor? Is this issue stable or getting worse? Are you using any medications, either for the odor or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have been taking a progestin-only pill called Sharobel for the past couple of months. Today, I switched to a combined pill, Estrallya, and experienced leg pain after taking the first pill. The pain is constant and achy, and I also have swelling in my left calf due to a poor valve in my vein. Can I switch back to Sharobel, and if so, when should I start taking it again?
