I am experiencing extreme thick, paste-like, smooth, white, odorless vaginal discharge. It has been progressively worse for over six weeks. My gynecologist suggested it might be an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria, but it hasn't balanced itself out. I had a hysterectomy 17 years ago and have hormone pellets inserted. I tried an OTC yeast infection treatment, which only made it worse. I am allergic to milk, take probiotics regularly, and follow a pescatarian, gluten-free diet. What could be causing this and what else can I try to treat it?

I got my period today and am experiencing a lot of bleeding, going through a tampon an hour with leakage through a pad. I have diarrhea, severe stomach pain, cramps, nausea, and fatigue. I'm concerned and unsure if it's severe enough to go to the doctor or the emergency room. I suspect I have endometriosis but haven't been checked due to fear of surgery. My last period was June 20, lasting 4 days, and before that, June 9, lasting 6 days. I've taken Tylenol as directed and am 26 years old. I was on the depo shot from age 17-25 and then a pill for 6 months, off birth control for about 6 months. I had a sexual encounter about 3 weeks ago. Are the symptoms severe enough to warrant a visit to the ER or should I schedule a doctor's appointment?

My partner and I have been trying for a baby for 6 months. I am 45 years old and have 2 children from my early 20s. My husband hasn't had any children, and we would love to have one together. My GP has done routine hormonal blood tests, which are all normal for my age. I have hypothyroidism and take 200mcg of medication twice daily. I am about to have a thyroid function test next week. What would be the best fertility drug to start with to help us along, considering we can't afford IVF or IUI?

My wife is having severe cramps and is 3 days late from her period. She is not using any contraceptives, had a pap test a few months ago with normal results, and has some bloating but no unusual smell. She also has endometriosis. How should we proceed?
