I have a sore in my private area and can’t figure out what it might be. It has been present for about 5 days and is changing, but not necessarily getting worse. I have not used any medications and am 28 years old. The sore is extremely painful to touch and brings discomfort when moving. It looks like an open wound, similar to a canker sore. I have only had sex with my partner in the last year, and we didn’t have sex for about three months now. I am worried about whether this could be an STI or STD.

If you are pregnant and suffering from morning sickness, are there safe medications you can take for it? Is there any way to treat morning sickness? Or do you just have to 'let it pass?' Does it usually only last for the first three months of pregnancy?

I got a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks ago and was going to have my first appointment this coming Friday, around 7 weeks pregnant. However, I started spotting 2 days ago and had more blood today. My OBGYN recommended going to the ER, but I can't afford that. What are the risks of waiting until Friday to see the doctor?

I am a 24-year-old female experiencing discomfort around the vaginal area for about a week. The discomfort includes burning and itching sensations that come and go, with no unusual smells, discharge, or issues with urination. I am currently on birth control and have not changed sexual activity. I tried using boric acid for 4 days but it did not help. What could be causing this discomfort and what can I do to alleviate it?

I have constant brown discharge that occurs 14-15 days after my period, but not during menstruation. The discharge is thick and has no noticeable odor. I am 21 years old, not sexually active, and take Lexapro. I had a clear Pap smear recently but was treated for yeast infection. What could be causing the brown discharge, and what steps can I take to address it?

I am 32 years old and had my menstrual cycle from October 10-18 to October 24. I believe I am ovulating now. Yesterday and today, I noticed brown spots on my underwear, and after intercourse today, I had a significant amount of maroon, almost blood-like discharge when I wiped. Could this be serious?
