I had a test for yeast infections at the doctor's office, and the doctor saw yeast under the microscope, but the culture came back negative. I have been dealing with what I believed to be a recurring yeast infection for over a year now. I have had symptoms like itching, burning, and some discharge. Why might the culture test be negative when the microscopic examination showed yeast, and could I still have a yeast infection?

My wife, who is 45 years old, has been experiencing excessive bleeding during her period for the last 3 weeks. She has had a normal period before this, but now her haemoglobin is low, and she has received a blood transfusion. The hospital is suggesting a D&C (Dilation and Curettage) procedure. Is this procedure really necessary, and will it cure the problem permanently? She had a similar issue a year ago that was resolved with birth control pills.

I came off birth control (Tri-Nessa) a month ago and my hyperthyroid symptoms (Graves' disease) are worse. Tri-Nessa always made me nauseous, and I'm worried about side effects from the replacement, Tri-Sprintec. I also have chronic yeast infections and thyroid eye disease, both flaring since stopping birth control. Should I restart birth control, and will it be harder on my body to get back on if I wait longer?

I’m 17 weeks 5 days pregnant with twins. I was having some tightness of my uterus here and there so I went to get checked. My doctor did a vaginal ultrasound and I measured 3.95 and he said my cervix was nice long and hard. Now anytime I get any tightness of my uterus I get nervous. He did not tell me to go on bed rest or anything. I did have early contractions with my other 2 pregnancies but I never dilated and had them at 37 and 38 weeks. I was put on procardia when I was 23 weeks with them. My question is if I start having regular contractions with this pregnancy how early can they give me procardia?
