I have been experiencing urine symptoms such as frequency, slight bladder and stomach discomfort, back pain, and a burning sensation in my urethra, especially when sitting down, on and off for nearly a year. These symptoms started after attempting to have intercourse for the first time, and have recurred, though less severely, during subsequent attempts. I have had multiple urine tests, STI tests, and a bladder scan, all of which have come back normal. I am concerned about the consistency of these symptoms and would like to know if you have any idea of what may be going on?

I had a positive genital swab result for HSV1 in July 2022, but my blood work for HSV1 has remained negative since then. I have been taking Valacyclovir daily and have not had any genital sores since the swab. Could the negative blood work results mean I don't have HSV1 genitally, and how could the presence of bacterial vaginosis or yeast infection at the time of the swab affect the results?

I haven't gotten my period in 6 months and I feel like I'm infertile. I was on Nexplanon but got it out in March last year. My periods were irregular before Nexplanon and have been new since. I'm 18 years old, my last period was from October 10-14, and I've experienced recent stress and weight changes. I also have asthma, used to take daily headache medication, and now take fish oil and vitamin D3. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My cycle has been irregular and I've been experiencing intermittent bleeding for a couple of months. Should I be worried, and what could be the possible causes?

I have severe pain every month around my cycle time, even though I no longer have cycles due to an ablation and tubal ligation 2 years ago. The pain in my right ovary and across my lower abdomen is crippling for about 5 days. The pain is constant, very tender and achy, with sharp pains in the right ovary area that make me nauseous. I manage the pain with Morin. The pain also radiates to my back and legs, and there's a lot of pressure on my pelvic floor, making it painful to go to the bathroom. Is this pain related to endometriosis, and what treatments are available?

I have been experiencing bleeding from my urethra for 8 months, which has been getting worse and is now similar to a heavy period. I had a vaginal delivery 8 months ago with a second-degree tear and have since had two Depo injections and tried oral contraceptives. I am 28 years old and the bleeding is bright red, coming from the urethra, and accompanied by lower back pain. There is no pain when passing urine and I can see clear urethral discharge. I have not had an ultrasound of the uterus. What could be causing this bleeding and what should I do?
