I have a yeast infection around the vaginal/groin area, which is red, swollen, and itchy, and it burns when urinating. Additionally, I have abnormal menstrual periods with heavy bleeding on the first day and significant pain. I am still a virgin and experience sexual arousal, especially before my period. What can I do to treat the yeast infection and manage these symptoms, and is it necessary to have a pelvic exam and Pap smear despite not having had intercourse?

My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant and had a 7-week ultrasound showing a small bleed in the gestational sac. She has no bleeding and a heartbeat of 133 bpm. What does the ultrasound indicate, and is it a good sign that she has no bleeding?

I had a previous bladder infection and now have a heavy brown discharge with a foul odor. Antibiotics were taken but there's no change. The discharge started 3-4 weeks ago and has been constant. It's described as muddy like sludge. I'm 73 years old, postmenopausal, and had a hysterectomy 21 years ago. How long will this last and should I get further treatment?

I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis by Dr. Nina and she recommended boric acid intravaginal suppositories. However, I cannot find them. Is there an alternative medication I could take, either over-the-counter or one that you can prescribe?

My vagina is extremely itchy and it’s to the point I’m crying. I know I don’t have an STD. I haven’t had sex since I got pregnant in 2019 and I was checked during pregnancy. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?
