I am 32 years old and had abnormal pap results indicating atypical squamous cells, which were precancerous. After having them removed, I noticed a pain on my left side and was diagnosed with endometrial lining thickening, a polyp, and a fibroid. My doctor suggested a D&C and hysteroscopy, but I am hesitant due to my sensitivity to anesthesia and the effectiveness of herbal treatments I've tried. My periods have returned to normal, and my last pap was perfect. Are the procedures necessary, and what are the risks if I do have them?

I have taken three pregnancy tests (two at home and one at the doctor's office) and had a pap smear, but I still haven't had my period. My last period ended on 07/08/08. Is it possible that I am pregnant?

My girlfriend went on the pill a little over a month ago. We had unprotected sex 14 days after she started the pill, with my orgasm outside. Her period is a full day late today and she barely bled a few days ago. An at-home pregnancy test has been negative so far. We also had full sex a few days ago with orgasm inside. Why is she barely having a period, and is there a chance of pregnancy?

I am a 46-year-old female with genital herpes type 1, contracted at age 19, with almost no outbreaks in the past 10 years. My partner recently developed a severe rash on his upper inner thigh, base of his penis, and scrotum, which spread to his arms and was diagnosed as herpes. A few days later, I developed a severe, itchy rash on my clitoral area and vulva, which spread to my fingers. My outbreaks have never been this severe or itchy before. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned about a misdiagnosis?
