I have been experiencing vaginal itching and redness for the past two months, with an increase in discharge that has a creamy texture. I previously had symptoms of trichomoniasis a year ago and took medication for it. I am not currently sexually active. What could be causing these symptoms and how can it be treated?

My period is a week late. I am 23 years old, on 45mg Mirtazapine for depression, and not using any contraceptives. I had intimate foreplay with my partner where semen may have come into contact with my vagina, and he also inserted his fingers into my vagina. Could this have caused pregnancy, and is it too soon to know? Additionally, could this delay be due to a hormonal imbalance or other factors?

I am 5 days late on my period but have a negative pregnancy test. My symptoms include sore breasts for about 2 weeks and infrequent mild cramps lasting about 10 minutes. My last period was on July 3rd, and it comes regularly every 30 days. I am 31 years old, not under stress, not using contraceptives, and have a history of undergoing fertility treatment for PCOS, which made my periods regular.

I have been suffering from severe endometriosis for five years, despite three surgeries and various treatments including birth control and IUDs. The pain is primarily on one side, affecting my right ovary which consistently grows cysts. I am terrified of hormone therapy and want to know if removing the problematic ovary is a good alternative and if it is likely that my doctor would agree to this procedure.
