I had sex with my girlfriend and realized the condom broke. My girlfriend took emergency contraception within an hour of the condom breaking. She has an irregular menstrual cycle, factor 5, and is taking spironolactone. Are we at risk of pregnancy, and could her medical conditions or medications affect the effectiveness of the emergency contraception?

I have a large ovarian mass and a very large ovary. Should the ovary be removed along with the mass? The mass is complex and heterogeneous, measuring 12.6 X 10.5 X 13.1 cm, and the ovary measures 14.9 x 12.7 x 13 cm. The ovary was about 3cm in my last ultrasound from 2019. I'm scheduled for surgery in two days to remove both the mass and the ovary, but someone suggested I get a second opinion on needing the ovary removed. Is there any reason I should not have the ovary removed?

I have an Ovarian Cyst on my left ovary and am experiencing severe pain, nausea, back pain, and a numbing feeling in my thighs. I had a pelvic ultrasound last week and have had cysts rupture in the past. Should I go to the hospital since it's a holiday weekend and I can't see my doctor?

I am concerned about my vaginal health. I am 20 years old and have noticed a fishy scent after sex, occasional bleeding during sex, and some discharge. I am on birth control and haven't had a period in two years. Should I be worried about STDs or other serious conditions?
