I had intercourse with my partner for the first time since giving birth in January 2020, and I think I might have contracted bacterial vaginosis (BV). I am 29 years old and have noticed a foul smell every time I have contact with my partner. What should I do, and do I need a prescription to get BV treated? Additionally, why do I keep getting BV after intercourse with my partner, and is there something he should do as well?

I currently have a yeast infection and am growing concerned. I've had about 4-5 yeast infections within the last 12 months. I'm on multiple medications due to wisdom teeth removal and have taken fluconazole for the yeast infection, but see no improvement. Should I be concerned? What can I do to prevent recurrent yeast infections?

I am concerned about my inability to get pregnant after having an abortion this year and being treated for chlamydia. I've been trying for three months now and have recently experienced vaginal itching. Do abortions, chlamydia, or vaginal itching affect fertility, and can I get a fertility test done before the 12-month mark if I pay out of pocket?

I am 23 years old and have been experiencing discomfort in my lower area for about 3 days. I am sexually active and have noticed tiny white clusters of bumps on my buttocks and three bumps on my vagina, which are painful and itchy. I am on birth control but not using any other medications. What could these symptoms indicate and what self-care remedies can I try?
