I am 64 years old and have been experiencing itching and irritation in my vaginal area for the past 2 days. The symptoms have been consistent and my skin looks normal without any visible discharge. I am concerned it might be a yeast infection. How should I treat this?

My period was supposed to end in 7 days but I'm still having light bleeding. I'm 30 years old, have regular periods, and have been taking prenatal vitamins. I don't exercise but do heavy lifting at my job. I'm not using any contraceptives. What could be causing the light bleeding and should I take a pregnancy test?

I was prescribed Combipatch and I have long hauler COVID symptoms that have persisted for 3 years. I'm afraid to take Combipatch because it might worsen my long hauler symptoms. What do you think?

I have a vaginal ultrasound scheduled today that I'm terrified for. I had a D&C and Mirena IUD inserted right after about a year ago. Since then, I have been unable to have sex because it is so painful to the vaginal walls. I tried to get the IUD removed but the strings broke, and it was said to be embedded. This experience was so excruciating that I have been terrified to get the ultrasound ever since, due to the pain in the vaginal walls. Is there any way I can ease the pain for my ultrasound today? I need this IUD out as it has caused so many problems physically and mentally.

My period is late and I haven't had it for a month. I'm not using any contraceptives and my last period began on the 15th of March. I'm 18 years old and there's no risk of pregnancy. I've had spotting for 3 days and have missed two periods. What should I do?
