I have been experiencing chronic uterine bleeding for 3-4 weeks, starting as spotting and progressing to clots, which has happened once before. My last pelvic exam was within the last year, and my last pap test was 4-5 years ago with no irregular results. I had hormone testing in 2018 indicating estrogen dominance. My periods have been irregular and heavy with more clots over the last few years. My last normal period was in February. I am 39 years old with no other medical problems. I spoke to my PCP, who is running labs due to anemia and suspects dysfunctional uterine bleeding. I am scared it might be something more serious due to my severe anxiety. What should I do?

I had intercourse with my partner for the first time since giving birth in January 2020, and I think I might have contracted bacterial vaginosis (BV). I am 29 years old and have noticed a foul smell every time I have contact with my partner. What should I do, and do I need a prescription to get BV treated? Additionally, why do I keep getting BV after intercourse with my partner, and is there something he should do as well?

I currently have a yeast infection and am growing concerned. I've had about 4-5 yeast infections within the last 12 months. I'm on multiple medications due to wisdom teeth removal and have taken fluconazole for the yeast infection, but see no improvement. Should I be concerned? What can I do to prevent recurrent yeast infections?
