I am 59 years old and have a metallic vaginal odor with some watery spotting. I had a DNC in April 2021 due to microscopic blood in my urine, a feeling of heaviness, and fibroid cysts. The doctor removed polyp tissue and two fibroid cysts, and there was no cancer detected. Now, I have a metallic odor with watery discharge. What could be the cause of this odor, and should I be concerned?

I am experiencing slight discomfort on the lower left side of my abdomen along with increased pressure to urinate. I am 54 years old and have had a Mirena IUD for the last five years. I am concerned it might be an ovarian cyst. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

What were my fertile days, and could I have been in my fertile window if I had sex on the 20th and 21st of the month, given that my first day of last period was between 8th and 11th of July and I have a 28-day cycle?

I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years. What are the chances that I have blocked tubes? My OBGYN recommended seeing an endocrinologist due to low DHEA-S and low testosterone levels in my blood work. Could these hormones be the issue, or should I be looking at potential tube problems? I have never had an STD and am generally healthy, but I am nervous about the upcoming dye test and infertility evaluation.

I am a 79-year-old female who had a total hysterectomy at 51. I was scheduled for a total knee replacement but had to postpone it due to bacteria found in my urine during preadmission testing. I have had recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) for over two years, despite taking various antibiotics. Recently, I tested high on a Vagisil screening kit for vaginal infections, indicating a high pH level, but my gynecologist dismissed the results. I am currently on Nitrofurantoin Mono for a UTI, but my urine still has an odor and I suspect a vaginal infection. I need an antibiotic for a vaginal infection to clear up my urine and proceed with my knee surgery. What can I do and can you suggest an antibiotic for a vaginal infection?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, unable to eat or drink for the last 12 hours. I had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks and was recommended to take Pepcid and anti-nausea candies. I take prenatal vitamins nightly and do light exercise 3 days a week. Is there anything else I should do or check?
