My girlfriend recently got bacterial vaginosis (BV) likely from me, as my skin carries the bacteria and my pH is 6.5. I also went down on her and since then, I've had a horrible taste in my mouth, a sticky feeling, dryness, a weird rough feeling in the back of my throat, sometimes a sore throat, and thick white phlegm. What could be causing these symptoms?

My last period was on October 12, but my cycles have been late by 2-3 days for the past few months, and they usually last 25 days but have been 30 days recently. I have tested for pregnancy and the results were negative. My periods are always painful and short, but they have always been on time. Should I do blood work as soon as possible, or is it okay to wait since it's only been 4 days late?

I started my period on March 24th and it ended, but I started bleeding heavily again on Saturday. I am 46 years old, have been fixed for close to 20 years, and am on various medications including thyroid medicines, metformin, and lorazepam. I also have irritable bowel disease syndrome and sciatic nerve issues. What could be causing this heavy bleeding, and what should I do?

I have recurrent yellow discharge and foul-smelling symptoms, which I believe are related to bacterial vaginosis. I've been using boric acid vaginal suppositories and taking metronidazole, but the symptoms keep coming back. Will it show up in my blood work, and what can I do to prevent it from recurring?
