I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been experiencing extremely painful sex for the past few months, which is causing tension in my relationship. I have irregular periods and have not been using contraceptives for over a year. My last Pap test was around the time of my PCOS diagnosis, and I had a DNC due to a thickened uterine lining. I am not sure how to handle this situation and am concerned about potential diagnoses like endometriosis. How should I proceed?

I went to the ER about a week ago due to lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a 3.6 cm ovarian cyst on my right ovary. The pain has improved slightly but still occurs, especially after sex. I have a Mirena IUD and a history of kidney stones. What should I do next, and what are the causes and treatment options for ovarian cysts?

I’m itchy around my vagina and I recently had genital herpes. I just had an outbreak a few days ago, took my medication, and the sores went away, but I’m still itchy. Could it be anything else?

Is it more difficult to get pregnant with endometrial fluid and irregular menstrual cycles? I have a small polyp and otherwise normal conditions, but my periods are not regular.

I am trying to conceive and have been tracking my ovulation using high chance fertility tests. I experienced peak fertility, followed by low/no chance of fertility, and then tested again to find I was back to high chance. What does this mean and when is the best day to try?

On Sunday, a random bump appeared on my upper lip. The internet suggests it could be a cold sore, but it didn’t hurt, tingle, or burn as described. I had oral sex with my boyfriend two days before the bump appeared. Should I get tested for HSV-1, and should I be worried about transmitting it to him?
