I am a 43-year-old woman with a history of chronic bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections, particularly after intercourse. I have had a partial hysterectomy in 2004 and recent exams show no irregularities. I am looking for effective treatments and whether I need to see a doctor for further treatment.

I was diagnosed with HPV 16 (high risk) and low-grade neoplasia six months after giving birth. My doctor recommended a LEEP procedure. Is it appropriate to perform a LEEP in this situation, and are there any risks related to having a LEEP after giving birth?

I have been experiencing recurrent bacterial vaginosis for the past two years, with symptoms including brown particles similar to dirt on tissue, itchiness, irritation, and thick discharge. I was previously diagnosed with trichomonas and have been prescribed metronidazole, but the symptoms keep recurring. I haven't had sexual intercourse in a year. What could be causing this recurrence and how can it be effectively treated?

I'm experiencing tenderness in my left breast and am unsure if I should see a doctor. I'm 32 years old, my last period was two weeks ago, and I'm currently ovulating. I use condoms for birth control. I don't feel any lumps, but I'm concerned about the tenderness, which has been ongoing for about a week. Additionally, I'm unsure about the ease of detecting breast lumps and distinguishing them from normal breast tissue variations.
