I have found cottage cheese-like discharge during sex, which concerns me for a yeast infection. My vagina sometimes feels very dry and itchy, but a recent test came out clean for bacteria and yeast, and I don't have any discharge unless I use a vaginal moisturizer. When I use it, I sometimes have cheese-like discharge. I had sex with my boyfriend, and there was no pain, itching, or burning, but we found cheese-like discharge on his penis. I am right before my menstruation. Do I have a yeast infection, and if so, why does the test say I am clean and I have no other symptoms? I also took a test for possible STIs, which was also clean. I don't want this to happen again during sex. Please help me.

I have been experiencing irritation around my vagina and anus, along with swelling and a feeling of loose skin. Additionally, I have noticed bumps and a red area that has been present for several weeks. Could these symptoms be related to an STD or HPV, and how can I address them?

I had a hysterectomy in May and now I can't control any gas. This problem, though not as severe, started after my first childbirth many years ago. I had some control then, but not anymore. I can't socialize or be intimate, and my quality of life has significantly declined. What could be the cause and what can be done about it?

I had a C-section twelve days ago (this is my third C-section). During the first week following surgery, I experienced abdominal swelling, tenderness, and pain, especially at the site of the incision. The incision ruptured a few hours after I mentioned it felt like it would, and there was a lot of bloody, watery fluid expelled. I was given Keflex (generic) for an infection and have since begun to experience the passage of large clots with a strong, unpleasant smell. The bleeding is not steady and comes in surges following doses of antibiotics. The blood is bright red. I am also experiencing exterior surgical wound problems and increased abdominal pain/cramping. Are these issues related, and what diagnostic tests could aid in diagnosing the problem?

I had a c-section on the 3rd of this month and I have stopped bleeding about a week almost two weeks ago but I am having a gush of brown blood at least once or twice a day for the past week now. Is this normal, and what should I do about the pain in my ovaries and lower abdomen?

I have had a lot of pregnancy symptoms but negative pregnancy tests. My last period began on May 15th, and I am not using contraceptives. I stopped using birth control in April and have not had a period for the past 3 months. I am 21 years old and not on any medications. I have had nausea for almost 4 months, no period for 3 months, and breast, back, and pelvic pain. What could be causing these symptoms?
