I am experiencing pain during intercourse for the first time, which started a week ago. The pain is dull and localized in the vagina. I am 35 years old, have no unusual discharge, genital redness/bumps/sores, urinary symptoms, abdominal cramps outside of intercourse, or fever. I have had one partner in the last 3-4 months and have not been diagnosed or treated for an STD. What could be causing the pain and what should I do?

Can a man have a trichomoniasis gene where they keep it in their body, and does this mean he will always have it and I'm going to get it every time I'm with him or is there such a thing?

I am a 26-year-old female diagnosed with HSV 2 and experiencing intense pain while urinating for over a week. I was initially diagnosed with a UTI and treated with antibiotics, but the pain persisted. I was later diagnosed with HSV 2 and started taking acyclovir cream and pills. The pain has increased slightly over the last two days, and I am concerned about the possibility of HSV sores in the urethra. Is it possible to have HSV sores in the urethra that cause dysuria, and how long might the pain last?

I have been experiencing a burning sensation in my vagina for a few days. The burning sensation comes and goes, does not occur when urinating, and there are no other symptoms. I had UTI symptoms and took antibiotics, after which the burning sensation started. My discharge is white and milky, which is normal for me. What could be causing this burning sensation, and what can I do to alleviate it?
