I’m traveling abroad and think I have a yeast infection. It started about a week ago with blister-like bumps and some itching. I’ve been using isoconazole nitrate (travogen) for 7 days, which has helped a bit but hasn’t completely resolved the issue. The infection started after being sexually active, and I’m concerned about the bumps and itching. What should I do to treat this and ensure it goes away?

I had protected sex in January using a condom and the pull-out method, and have gotten my period every month since then. This month, I started my period two weeks earlier than usual, which has made me worry that I might be pregnant. I took a home pregnancy test that was clearly negative, but I thought I saw a faint line. What could be causing my early period and should I be concerned about pregnancy?

I lost my period for two months. I'm 34 years old, healthy, and live an active lifestyle. I eat clean, avoid sugar and dairy, and try to eat less carbs. I went to a gynecologist who checked my hormones and thyroid, and everything is fine. I wanted to get Paragard but was told it can only be installed after my period ends. My last period was on March 28. I had COVID four weeks ago and took Paxlovid. What could be causing this and what advice do you have?

I've been experiencing unusual spotting for over a week now, and since last night, every time I finish peeing, I bleed very lightly and my urethra hurts. Why is that?

I'm 25 years old and married. My periods have always been regular, but this month I got my period on June 1st, ended on the 7th, and then saw bleeding again after 10 days. I'm not using any contraceptives or medications. I had unprotected sex last week. What could be causing this bleeding, and should I be concerned?
