I am a 28-year-old female who had anal intercourse on January 14. Afterward, I experienced bleeding, followed by ongoing symptoms of blood in stool and discharge, which have persisted. I am concerned about the cause of these symptoms and whether they could be related to anal intercourse or indicate a more serious condition like colon cancer. What tests and treatments should I consider?

I have a vaginal yeast infection that has lasted for 2 months with consistent itching. I have had similar infections before and am currently not on any medications. Is there an antibiotic in pill form that can cure this instead of a vaginal insert?

I finished my period 2 weeks ago, today I noticed light spotting and now I have blood clots. I am sexually active, use condoms as contraceptive, and had sex 2 days ago. I have a bit of cramping and very regular periods, once a month, lasting 4 to 5 days. I had unprotected sex before my period and again a week after my period. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am a 41-year-old woman with irregular periods, sometimes having two cycles in a month. I recently had unprotected sex with a new partner and experienced a peachy discharge with an iron smell five days after the encounter, which lasted a week before my cycle started again. I am prone to UTIs and have never seen this type of discharge before. What could be causing this discharge and should I be concerned about early menopause?

I’m 10 days late for my period and I’m having anxiety. I am sexually active and had unprotected sexual intercourse between October 28-30, which was the same time of my last period. My period last month was also late and lighter than usual. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both of which came back negative, but I’m concerned about the possibility of a false negative. What could be causing my late period, and should I take another test?

Why hasn't my body been able to get rid of the high-risk HPV virus, even after making significant lifestyle and dietary changes, and what are the chances it will eventually clear? Additionally, what are the risks of the virus affecting other parts of my body like the throat or anus, and should I be concerned about passing it to my partner if I try to have a baby?
