I am 45 years old and have been experiencing periods twice a month for three months, each lasting seven days. I am not using any contraceptives or medications. My back also hurts during these periods. What could this mean?

I was diagnosed with herpes about 2 years ago and recently had another outbreak after catching COVID-19. I've been taking Valacyclovir 500 MG for two days and applying Acyclovir to the outbreak, but my vaginal area has swollen more. Should I be concerned? Has the swelling been constant or getting worse over time? Is there any pain or tenderness, and is it constant or on-and-off? Are there any other medical conditions the doctor should know about?

I had an intrauterine insemination (IUI) done on June 29. I took a urine pregnancy test (UPT) today, which was negative. Is it possible for this to be a false negative, considering it's day 14 post-IUI? Should I take a blood test for a more accurate result?

I have had a persistent fishy smell for 25 years, which has worsened over time. I experience grey, thin texture vaginal discharge and itching. I have tried using Vee cleanse, but it didn't help. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and have been experiencing spotting for the last 8 days. I have no medications, stomach pain, dizziness, or significant vaginal discharge, just a tiny bit of blood. I had blood clots 3 years ago and will start blood thinner injections soon. What could be causing the spotting, and what steps should I take?

I have a small tear on the perineum part of my vagina that has been painful for about 3 days. It started after intercourse and is causing discomfort while walking, sitting, and using the restroom. I am currently on my period and using a natural fissure oil. What can I use to help heal the skin and should I be concerned about any underlying issues?
