I have blood test results and an ultrasound report that suggest polycystic ovaries. Can you review these reports and tell me if you see polycystic ovaries? Additionally, I have irregular periods, acne, and have noticed some bloating. Could these symptoms be related to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and is it reversible? What role does weight play in this condition, and can medications like Metformin help?

My girlfriend has had her period for longer than 10 days, starting out dark brown and now turning orange. She has started a new birth control pill and taken the morning-after pill two weeks ago. She is very worried. What could be causing this prolonged period and should she seek medical intervention?

If my wife is diagnosed with Herpes, how worried should we be about our 2-year-old daughter? Would the virus have shown symptoms by now if passed during childbirth, and how dangerous is it for a 2+ year old if she has a latent infection?

I bled 4 days after taking Plan B. It felt and looked like a period but was heavier flow. Does this mean I’m not pregnant? I used a condom but it slipped off inside of me. However, only pre-cum got inside me. My last period was July 23 or 24. The sex happened on August 3. My previous period happened on July 23 or 24 and this month, I expected to have my period August 20-25. I feel some lower stomach discomfort/pain, nausea, and an increase in vaginal discharge. Do you think this could be me going through ovulation? When should I expect my next period? I feel some itching but not really burning. I also feel a bit scared because I took the plan B on day 11 or 12 of my cycle, which is close to ovulation day. Despite this, just the heavy bleeding that happened 4 days after I took the pill means that I definitely am not pregnant, correct?

I have had green and bloody discharge since last October, with pus present in the discharge but no infection detected in several tests. I've been on various antibiotics, including Metronidazole, for suspected Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, but they haven't stopped the discharge. My cervix looked normal during a pelvic exam, except for a red patch and a long, thin, skin-colored bumpy thing at the bottom where it meets the vagina wall. What could be causing this discharge, and what further steps should be taken?
