I ended my period on May 28th and started again on June 7th. I was taking 500 mg of amoxicillin for a sinus infection. Can this cause my period to start again? I am not using any contraceptives, the sinus infection is gone, and I stopped taking the antibiotic on June 10th.

I have been having sex with the same guy for a while and recently experienced side pain that comes and goes, along with a fishy smell from my vagina with no discharge. The pain is stabbing and localized to my side. I had unprotected sex and am not taking any medicines or contraception. There is no vaginal itching, burning, or pain during urination. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a long history (29 years) with herpes and recently had a massive outbreak. I was treated for yeast and bacterial vaginosis, and have been taking Valtrex. I also developed painful, hard, red, swollen lesions on my calf and labia. Could these lesions be related to shaving or a resurgence of a previous staph infection? What treatment options are available for the current symptoms, and how should I handle future pelvic exams and PAP smear results?
