On Sunday, a random bump appeared on my upper lip. The internet suggests it could be a cold sore, but it didn’t hurt, tingle, or burn as described. I had oral sex with my boyfriend two days before the bump appeared. Should I get tested for HSV-1, and should I be worried about transmitting it to him?

I believe I have a yeast infection that has lasted a couple of days. I am currently taking a probiotic, vitamin D, and cranberry pills. I am 30 years old, my last period began 11 days ago, and I have a medical history of having my gallbladder removed, HPV, and BV in January. What are my symptoms and what should I do?

I've been experiencing spotting between periods, pelvic pain, back pressure, painful sex, loss of appetite, weight fluctuations, and extreme fatigue. I'm not pregnant, had a baby a year ago, and have a history of appendix cancer and a small fibroid in my uterus. Is this something I need to be seen for right away?

I have blood in my urine when I pee, and I feel pain when I pee. I am a female, 21 years old, and have noticed this issue today. I also have to pee more frequently since noticing the blood. Are there any other symptoms I should be aware of, and what could be causing this?

I have had an IUD for the last 4 years and, other than some light spotting, I haven’t had my period during that time. Weeks ago, I started feeling tired and have been gaining weight (even though I have been closely watching what I eat). This week I started getting nauseous and occasionally vomiting in the morning and my lower abdomen has started to bloat, making my clothes not fit. I took a urine pregnancy test and it’s negative. What else could be going on and causing these symptoms?
