I have been experiencing itchiness in my vagina for almost 15 years, which occurs mainly at night and when the area is wet. My vagina looks irritated, and I had a biopsy less than a year ago that showed thickened tissue due to scratching. I have no known allergies and no other significant medical history. What could be causing this and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I got a positive pregnancy test result and had sex with two partners in the same month. I took Plan B (one step) half an hour after having sex with the second partner. What are the chances that the second partner is the father, and could the Plan B pill have failed to prevent pregnancy?

I haven’t had my period in 3 months but I can’t be pregnant. Should I be worried? I'm 15 years old, 5'7" and 200 lbs, with regular cycles usually lasting 5 days. I'm not taking any contraceptive pills and haven't taken Plan B. Sometimes when I exercise, I hear my breathing through one ear, and my ears feel weird, like there's pressure or they might be clogged. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do?

I am concerned about my weight fluctuations during my menstrual cycle. I gain 5 pounds during ovulation and lose it after my period. I am considering birth control to help with this issue. What options are available to help me gain weight sustainably without interfering with my period?

My period is a week late, and I tested last week with a faint positive pregnancy test. Today, the test is negative. I'm not using any contraceptives, I'm on heart medicine, and my periods are irregular. I had unprotected sex during my ovulation on March 21st. What could be causing this, and is there an underlying condition that could be affecting my results?

I just finished a course of antibiotics and am now experiencing white discharge with an odor. The discharge started on Monday morning and has been constant. It is watery, and my last period ended on Saturday. My periods are sometimes irregular, and I was taking doxycycline for an STD. What could be causing this discharge and odor, and what should I do?
