I currently have an inflamed cyst on the outside of my vagina. It's getting worse and larger, very painful. I've been soaking in baths and taking over-the-counter meds like Advil, but they aren't helping. The affected area is very painful and tender, essentially covering one of the entire lips. What can I do until I can see my doctor on Monday?

I had my period from April 27th to May 2nd, and I took Plan B on May 2nd or 3rd. This Friday, I started bleeding heavily with period-like symptoms. Is this my May period or something different?

I have just started a new contraceptive pill called Yaz and have been feeling itchy/tingly in my vulva. The itchiness started 2-3 days ago, and I started the pill over a week ago. My skin looks the same, and I have no known allergies. I ended a round of antibiotics a few weeks ago. I have some thick white discharge around my vulva, but no severe itching, fishy odor, or burning urination. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I went to a sex worker yesterday for the first time and received a body massage followed by hand masturbation without a condom. Is there any chance I could have contracted HIV?

I have a growth in my anal area, which has been causing me pain for about a week. I am 55 years old and have no blood in my stools, but I do experience pain when sitting down. I had a normal colonoscopy a year ago. What could this growth be, and what should I do about it?
