I have a recurring posterior fourchette issue that started a few years ago, possibly related to a change in birth control pills. The tear is almost always present, causing initial pain during intercourse, and sometimes results in further tearing. I've tried estrogen cream and changing birth control pills, but the issue persists. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I finished my period on the 21st of April and am due for my next one on the 17th of May. I noticed I am bleeding, which has gradually moved from a brown color to more of a red one. I have been cramping but they are subtle, and I regularly urinate normally and haven't noticed more urination than normal. What is this? Am I pregnant?

I am experiencing itching and burning in the vaginal area, and I am very concerned about having herpes. My last period was from November 14-17, and my cycle is regular at 28 days. I had unprotected sex in May and haven't had sex since then. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

I've been experiencing recurring episodes of vaginal infection over the past few months. The infection is constant, with symptoms including slightly greenish discharge that varies from thick to creamy, occasional burning during urination, and a fishy odor. I am 25 years old and have not taken any medications for it, despite trying natural remedies without success. I am sexually active, but I've faced this issue even before I was sexually active. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?
