I have a vaginal boil that has been present for 2 days and is stable. The boil is external, located between the vagina and the start of the anus, and I don't have any fever or abnormal discharge. What should I do?

You can start by taking sitz baths, which involve sitting in a tub of warm water for 10 to 15 minute...

I am experiencing heavy bleeding with clots and am unsure if it's a heavy period or a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage. I am 46 years old, not on any medication, and have regular periods. How can I determine the cause and what should I expect in terms of bleeding duration and future ovulation?

I have been trying to get pregnant since July 2019. My partner is 37 years old, and I am 31 years old. I just started using an ovulation test kit three days ago. My periods have been irregular since January. What could be causing the irregular cycles, and when should I start using the ovulation kit after my last period, which ended on the 25th of April?

I had unprotected sex and developed a UTI. I didn't treat it with antibiotics due to lack of insurance. I drank water and cranberry juice, which helped a little. Now, I'm noticing small bumps inside my labias. How long have you dealt with the UTI? Have you experienced this in the past? When was your last pap test or pelvic exam? Any irregular results from past exams? Is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?

My urethra/vulva is itchy. It's been a few days but less than a week, and the itchiness comes and goes. I have no known allergies and no significant medical history. I'm 19 years old, have regular discharge and urination, no unsafe sex, and haven't done any investigations or treatments. What could be causing the itchiness and what should I do about it?

I’m having a hard time reading my Pap smear results. I am 22 years old, previously took 20mg Fluoxetine but changed to Wellbutrin 150mg last week, and use the Nuva ring. I had an abnormal Pap smear last year and did it again, receiving results that are confusing and making me nervous. What do my results mean?
