I am on the combination pill (Qlaira) and took Plan B on 5/4/22. How long after taking Plan B should I wait to have unprotected sex assuming I get back on my pills schedule? I am getting an implant (Nexplanon) inserted on 5/16/22. Could Plan B affect the effectiveness of Nexplanon? Do I delay my appointment? The Mayoclinic page says that regular BC methods may not work as well after taking Plan B and that I shouldn't have unprotected sex in the same monthly period. Given the Nexplanon is likely to make my period unpredictable, not sure when it would be safe again to have unprotected sex after getting the implant inserted.

I have been experiencing vaginal bumps that have been getting worse and spreading over the past two days. The bumps are white patchy areas, causing burning and pain rather than itchiness. I recently received a steroid shot for allergies and have a history of unprotected sex. I also noticed a yellow/white vaginal discharge. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I suspect I have a vaginal yeast infection. I've been experiencing itchiness, soreness, and cottage cheese-like discharge for about 5 days. I am currently on Alysena 28 and have PCOS. I had sexual intercourse before the symptoms started, but there is no vaginal odor. I have not tried any medication for the infection and am not allergic to any medication. What should I do?

I am a 19-year-old female with concerns about missed periods since I was 16 and vaginal pain and burning during intercourse since September. I have been diagnosed with PCOS but am not sure if that's all. What could be causing these issues and what can I do to address them?

My vaginal discharge has been pink and green for the past few days, has a foul odor, and is creamy and thin. I have not had any itching or burning. My last period started on April 20 and ended on April 25, and it comes regularly. I have been sexually active recently with the same partner for the past month. What could be causing this discharge and what should I do?

I have been experiencing itching and burning of the lips. I am not sexually active but shared a drink with a friend yesterday. I am concerned about herpes. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
