Is it possible to spread genital herpes to my child if I forgot to wash my hands and then later changed my daughter's diaper and applied ointment?

Is spotting and bleeding normal after removal of a polyp? I am 62 with 10 years of menopause. No problems during that time. I started noticing a small amount of pink on toilet paper about seven days ago. I went to the doctor this morning for a complete exam and she noticed a polyp which she removed. She suspects this to be the source of the blood. She also did a pap test. She told me that she doesn't suspect cancer of the uterus but she told me I had to go back another day for an ultrasound and a hysteroscopy. Is this standard and should I be worried?

I am 11 months postpartum. My periods before were every 28 days, 7 days long, with very bad cramps. Since giving birth, they have been abnormal. My last cycle was late by almost 2 months, and I've been bleeding heavily for over a month now with no pain. I'm afraid I'm losing too much blood; I soak through my tampons and have to wear a pad with them. The toilet bowl gets filled with blood every time I use it, and the water is really red when I stand, it drips everywhere.

I have been experiencing continuous period flow for the past 3 months, with a thick endometrium. I am 25 years old, not using any contraceptives, and my last period started on July 1st and is still ongoing. I am on homeopathic medicines only for my sinuses. What could be causing this prolonged period flow, and what should I do?

When I urinate, I sometimes notice mucus in the toilet, and I haven't had a period since November due to irregular cycles. I used to get a lot of UTIs and recently went to the OB for clitoral burning, where they found an excess of lactobacillus. I also had a cystoscopy, which was normal. What could be causing the mucus, the irregular periods, and the excess lactobacillus? Is it PCOS, and how long is it okay to go without a period?
