I have recently tested positive for gonorrhea and my partner has tested negative. After my treatment, my results came back negative, but we were sexually active without condoms. Should my partner still be treated even if his test came back negative? Additionally, I am taking a gel antibiotic for BV. When am I allowed to have sex again, and should my partner be treated for BV if it returns?

I have bumps on my vulva that have been consistent since March. They are sometimes itchy and have spread over time despite using a cortisone cream prescribed by my OBGYN. I've been tested for STDs, which came back negative except for herpes simplex 1. What could these bumps be, and what else can I do to address them?

My 18-year-old daughter has been taking baby aspirin daily for inflammation and acne. She is also supposed to start birth control (Ortho-Tricyclen) today. Is it safe for her to start the birth control while taking aspirin, and are there any drug interactions to be aware of?

I have PCOS and I am trying to get pregnant. My cycles are irregular, and I have been trying since July 2019. I have done tests like sugar level, TVS, and Pap smear, which detected PCOS. I am weighing 79kg and my height is 1.70m. I was asked to do a hormonal profile on days 3 and 21 of my cycle. Can I still ovulate and get pregnant naturally with PCOS? If not, can I take Clomid to boost my fertility? When should I start taking Clomid, and should I do it before or after the hormonal profile test? Also, I was advised to do HGS, but is it necessary before checking my hormonal levels?
