I have a lesion just outside my vagina that appeared 2 days ago, which is an ulcer. I am 37 years old and it burns when urine hits it. I have a history of vulvodynia and had a yeast infection treated with Diflucan about a week and a half ago. The lesion appeared less than 24 hours after sexual intercourse in a monogamous relationship. What could this be and how should I manage it?

I am 20 weeks pregnant with a cerclage due to a probable incompetent cervix. For the past few days, I have had a cold with a bad cough. Can this affect my cervix at all? I also feel like I have more discharge, it looks clear and has no odor. I am on progesterone along with the cerclage, and my cervix was measured to be just over 4 cm at 19 weeks 4 days. I seem to be urinating a bit when I cough. Should I be concerned about the discharge being amniotic fluid?

My boyfriend and I were fooling around naked, with his penis close to my vagina and some precum present. There was no actual penetration or ejaculation. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant from precum. What are the chances of that happening without penetration, especially if I was ovulating during that time?

I am a 29-year-old married white female with IBS-D and a mild latex allergy. I want to change my birth control due to moodiness and depression during PMS, but have experienced side effects like blood pressure spikes, weight gain, and abnormal hair growth with previous methods. I have been on Microgestin Fe for over a year and am considering switching to either NuvaRing or Yaz. Which do you recommend, considering my IBS and latex allergy, and can I swim, bathe, and douche normally with NuvaRing?
