I am experiencing severe discomfort in my vagina, including a blister, itching, and burning when I urinate. I have not been sexually active in 4 years and took Monistat 1 for a suspected yeast infection, but the discomfort has worsened. What could be causing this and what should I do?

A few days ago, I had unprotected anal sex with another man for a short time where I was the top and he turned out to be HIV undetectable and on meds. Can you give me an idea of my risk of catching HIV?

I am in surgical menopause after the removal of my ovaries and am on HRT therapy at 37 years old. I have started to experience a clear, watery discharge that has soaked my underwear. There is no smell, no itching, just the discharge. I have not had any discharge since my surgery on September 11, 2015. Is this anything to be concerned about?

I have irregular periods and have never seen a gynecologist before. I'm not using any contraceptives and my last period was in late January or early February. I had a pap test less than a year ago with normal results. I'm 25 years old, don't get bleeding between periods, and have no other health or medical problems besides asthma. What should I do about my irregular periods, and do I need a referral to see a gynecologist?

Is ivy syrup safe during pregnancy? I am 13 weeks pregnant, have been using Robitussin for 10 days which relieved my green cough, now it's light yellow in the morning and thick white during the day. My nose is also clogged, so I've been using Zertec for 10 days. I am taking Pregnacare, Folic Acid, and will start Osteocare and Feroglobin soon. This is my third pregnancy, with two previous c-sections and no miscarriages.
