I have a skin infection or rash on my labia majora for the past 2 weeks. It is a constant, raised red area that is itchy and flaky white. I have tried petroleum jelly, hydrocortisone 1%, and jock itch cream, but the rash is not spreading and I have no vaginal discharge. I am 26 years old, have asthma and eczema, and have not used any new products before the rash appeared. What could this rash be and what should I do?

I have been experiencing a constant discharge with a blood smell for two weeks, which changes color from white to light red/brown and has a texture between thick and watery. My last period started four days ago and is not regular. The smell is particularly strong during sexual activity. What could be causing this and what can I do to address it?

I purchased a laxative called ZUpoo and I also take Balziva birth control. Will the laxative affect my birth control?

I am 53 years old and for 1 year and a half, I had no period. Then in December last year, I bled heavily for 20 days straight. Now I bleed every month for one day and sometimes bleed unexpectedly without needing a pad. When I do bleed, I have large blood clots larger than a quarter. This happens all month. Sometimes the blood appears and disappears quickly. I am not using any contraceptives and have not been sexually active for over 10 years. My last period was yesterday, and it happened while driving, but was empty this morning. I haven't had a pap test in years, and there are no unusual smells, discoloration, or swelling. I had cysts on both ovaries but they stopped bothering me after I turned 25. My sister had ovarian cancer and my dad's side of the family all died from cancer. What could be causing this abnormal bleeding and what should I do?

I’ve been eating a lot more than usual, possibly due to thinking I might be pregnant. I had unprotected sex around my ovulation date, and I’m experiencing symptoms like bloating, cramping, tingling, twinges, sore lower back and neck, increased wetness, food aversions, morning sickness, larger breasts, sore nipples, leg cramps, and frequent urination. I also noticed faint lines on a pregnancy test. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do next?

I’ve been experiencing an unusually long menstrual period, sometimes just spotting and sometimes a light flow, for almost 4 weeks. I am overweight, stressed, and 23 years old with no history of uterine problems. I am not using any contraceptives, and the bleeding started around mid-December. I have never had a Pap test and have not noticed any swelling, discoloration, or unusual smells. I was hospitalized in August with meningitis and have gained about 15 pounds in the past year. My periods used to be pretty regular, and I’m on 30mg Cymbalta daily for anxiety disorder, which I’ve been taking for the past 6 years.
