I had a yeast infection and used Monistat 7-day treatment. It started to burn towards the last 3 days of using it but I finished it off. That was a month ago and now every time I try to have sex, it feels like my vagina is on fire. The only thing that changed was using Monistat. I always had my yearly gyno checkup right before that and I came back healthy. How long have you dealt with the yeast infection? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test or pelvic exam? Any irregular results from past exams? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I've been experiencing stomach aches/nausea, vomiting, strong-smelling urine, vaginal tenderness, discharge (white or clear), and lower back pain on the right side. I'm on Depo Provera, so pregnancy is unlikely. What could these symptoms indicate, and should I consult another type of doctor?

I have missed my period for almost two months and have taken two pregnancy tests that showed negative results. I found out I was pregnant with my first child through a blood test because my hormones are very low, which makes urine tests unreliable for me. What should I do?

I experience pain and bleeding after sex if I go 2-3 days without having sex, and I have an IUD (Kyleena). Could this be due to the IUD being out of place, or is it something else? I also have vaginal pain during penetration, abdominal pain with bloating, regular periods that are light and brown, vaginal itching, and discharge. I haven't seen a doctor yet but want to know how to address this issue.

I am in perimenopause and currently taking Oestrogen, Utrogestan, Testogel, and Vagifem for vaginal atrophy (VA). I experienced vaginal irritation with a tampon and have had recent vulvar irritation and slight watery discharge. A urine test showed leukocytes, no nitrites, and a little blood, possibly from my last cycle. The nurse suggested an antibiotic called Monotrim, but it's causing dizziness and abdominal pain. What could be causing the irritation, and is there a gentler antibiotic or a way to treat it without antibiotics? How can I differentiate between VA and a urinary tract infection (UTI)? Should I switch to oral Utrogestan, and if so, how many tablets should I take?

Me and my partner had unprotected sex twice on day 4 of her period. I didn't ejaculate in her either time, but she took Plan B after 17 hours of the first time and within 2 hours of the second time. I am paranoid about her being pregnant even though all the steps to prevent it were taken. Is there any reason to think she can be pregnant with the scenario and the precautions that were taken?
