I had sex over the weekend and a couple days later, I experienced itching in my vaginal area. I thought it might be a yeast infection, but I started my period, making it hard to tell if I have the typical discharge. I'm worried it could be genital herpes. How can I tell the difference, and what should I do about the itching and discomfort?

I am late for my period by one week and have taken four negative pregnancy tests. I am 24 years old, have no symptoms, and am not using any medications. I have regular periods, but recently experienced increased body weight and stress. Additionally, I had COVID two weeks before my missed period. What could be the cause of my delayed period?

I recently finished my period 2 weeks ago, but I am bleeding now and it’s been for about a day. I thought I was spotting but it feels like my period. I’m not sure what’s going on. I had unprotected sex before my most recent period and took the morning-after pill. I’ve never had a pap test and have slight cramping and headaches. What could be causing this bleeding and when should I seek further help?

Can you tell me if having a small amount of light brown discharge on occasions throughout the month is part of peri menopause? I am 53, my periods are erratic, and I am on a Mirena coil.

Is the dark area under my clitoris, which is smooth, feels like skin, and movable, condylomata accuminata or a wart, or part of my normal anatomy? I am 29 years old and have had limited sexual contact.

My last period doesn’t match my due date. My due date was August 2, 2022, but I had a planned C-section on July 18th at 38 weeks. I had sex with two partners 12 days apart, one on November 6 and the other on November 18th. Can an ultrasound be off by 10 or more days, and is it more accurate than the last period for due date calculation?
