I took Plan B one step five days after my last period and experienced heavy bleeding with lower back pain, similar to my usual period symptoms. Has this been my period, or is it just a side effect of Plan B causing me to bleed like it was my period?

My partner told me that my vagina felt loose and lubricated after intercourse, even though we hadn't had sex for two days. I am 25 years old and have two children. Is there any explanation for why my vagina would feel this way?

I recently started a high dosage of tretinoin 1% for ingrown hairs around my bikini area and vagina. The skin is now peeling, inflamed, and raw. How do I alleviate this and should I continue using it on unaffected areas like my inner thighs? Also, should I delay my wax appointment and how long will it take to heal? Can I still partake in sexual activity and oral sex? Is it normal for the skin to peel off, and can I use antibacterial soap to wash up?

I have been experiencing postpartum bleeding for 13 weeks, which has stopped and started, including a period where it went away for over a week but has returned. I am breastfeeding and have had an emergency c-section. I have seen a doctor twice, with tests and an ultrasound showing no issues. The bleeding is light in the morning, becoming heavier and brighter red as the day progresses. I have been prescribed the mini pill, but the second doctor suggested stopping it due to potential contribution to the bleeding. Is it safe to take the mini pill, and can I take it while breastfeeding? Also, why is it unadvisable to use tampons during this bleeding?

I was diagnosed with HSV-1 in October. My initial herpes sore has still not healed, and I have been STD tested multiple times since then with everything coming back as negative except HSV. Is this normal to have a sore last this long?
