I have just started a new contraceptive pill called Yaz and have been feeling itchy/tingly in my vulva. The itchiness started 2-3 days ago, and I started the pill over a week ago. My skin looks the same, and I have no known allergies. I ended a round of antibiotics a few weeks ago. I have some thick white discharge around my vulva, but no severe itching, fishy odor, or burning urination. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a growth in my anal area, which has been causing me pain for about a week. I am 55 years old and have no blood in my stools, but I do experience pain when sitting down. I had a normal colonoscopy a year ago. What could this growth be, and what should I do about it?

I constantly have a fishy smell down there, which has been an issue for a little over a year and gets worse after intercourse. I am not using any medications and I have PCOS. What could be causing this and how can I manage or prevent it?

I was traveling with my pack of birth control pills in my backpack. The computer in my bag got very hot, and I'm concerned that the heat might have affected the effectiveness of the pills. What should I do next?
