I am a 24-year-old female experiencing discomfort around the vaginal area for about a week. The discomfort includes burning and itching sensations that come and go, with no unusual smells, discharge, or issues with urination. I am currently on birth control and have not changed sexual activity. I tried using boric acid for 4 days but it did not help. What could be causing this discomfort and what can I do to alleviate it?

I'm bleeding from my vagina and it started after having sex for the first time in over a week. I don't have any medications and I'm 19 years old.

I am a 35-year-old female with a history of one abnormal pap (LSIL) at age 22, which cleared on its own. My recent routine pap came back as HSIL, and I underwent a colposcopy with a biopsy that showed cells with changes raising suspicion for possible AIS. I am on Pristiq 50 mg daily and Visanne 2 mg daily, and have a family history of dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma (mother). I am concerned about the possibility of invasive adenocarcinoma and the recommended treatment, including whether an aggressive LEEP or a cone biopsy is preferred, and the potential outcomes and risks involved.
