For the last 2 weeks, I have been experiencing irritation and burning sensations on the outside of my vagina. The discomfort comes and goes, particularly when I use the bathroom, wipe, shower, or wear tight clothing. I have no known allergies, but I did shave with an old razor a few weeks ago. I am 32 years old, have no abnormal discharge or smell, and have a history of gurd, ovarian cysts, and a removed gallbladder. I am sexually active but use protection. What could be causing this irritation, and what steps should I take to alleviate it?

I'm 23 years old and my period is very irregular, often late by about 8 days or more. My last period was on March 14, and I was prescribed medication to help with blood work. My doctor did tests and an ultrasound, which showed everything looked good, but I'm still not getting my period. I've lost weight, going from 196 lbs to 183 lbs, and I'm 5'2". What can help me get a regular period?

Can a 58-year-old woman with no ovaries have an orgasm or 'squirting'? This is a serious question as I had a TAH BSO and have had no sexual relationship since the surgery.

Is there a test for HPV? I was diagnosed with herpes but was wondering if it’s possible that it’s HPV instead. I didn’t ask as many questions as I should have when I found out because I was so scared and ashamed. I’ve found out about 2 years ago. When was your last pap test or pelvic exam? Any irregular results from past exams?

I missed one day of my regular birth control pill (Yaz 28) and took two pills the next day. I also took an emergency contraceptive (Plan B) the following morning due to an 'accident'. Should I continue with my current birth control pack or start a new one?
