I cleaned my boyfriend's rubber vagina with just water and noticed small paper cuts on my hands. Since I washed it with water, could any dried sperm or semen have reactivated and transmitted STDs to me? My boyfriend donates platelets to the Red Cross, and his platelets were sent to a hospital for use.

I'm 13 years postpartum and experiencing breast discharge with blood, but no pain or sensitivity unless pressure is applied. I breastfed 3 out of 4 children, had a cyst on the same breast in 2017 that resolved after a biopsy, and my last Pap test in 2019 was normal. My mother had a mastectomy in her 30s, and I have dense breast tissue. What could be causing this discharge, and what should I do?

I would like to get my IUD - Copper T removed as it’s close to expiry. Are there any tests required before removal, and will any gynecologist remove it on the first visit?

Dear Doctor, about a year ago, my anus area started feeling very itchy, then later, I felt pain in my uterus and my menstruation period became irregular. I have seen doctors, taken parasite pills, and had OB tests including ultrasound and pap tests, all of which seem normal. However, the uterus pain persists daily, and I have mild to sometimes heavier pain in my left and right ovary. What could be causing this pain, and what can be done to diagnose and treat it?

My husband got a vasectomy around 10 weeks ago and has not been cleared yet. I am not on birth control anymore and am looking for a form of birth control, with condoms being the likely best option. I absolutely don’t want any kids and have not been having intercourse since going off my pill. Are condoms pretty effective, and would using the pull-out method with a condom increase effectiveness?
