I have had recurrent vaginal fissures along with yeast infections since January 2012. My partner has tested negative for STDs, and I have had cold sores. Should I be concerned about genital herpes, and how can I differentiate between herpes and yeast infections?

I came off the pill in February and had a withdrawal bleed in early March but haven't had a period since. My periods were regular before being on the pill, and my husband and I are trying for a baby. Pregnancy tests are negative. Is this normal, and should I consult a doctor about potential problems?

I've taken 4 Plan B pills within the last 3 weeks. My period was supposed to come today but hasn't. Could the Plan B pills be the reason? I'm really worried and it's stressing me. Could something be wrong with me?

I am a 45-year-old woman with four children, diagnosed with a uterine polyp. I have regular menstrual cycles, no medications, and I experience spotting from days 11 to 14 after running 5 miles. My last pap test was normal in October, and a transvaginal ultrasound showed the polyp. I am waiting to have it removed due to COVID-19. My concern is the recent, more pronounced spotting, which occurred after starting an intense fasting diet. Does running cause the polyp to bleed, and is the spotting related to the polyp?

I am a married man with a 3-year-old son. Six weeks ago, I had unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex with another woman. I noticed red dots on my penis a few days later and tested positive for herpes simplex type 1 IgG and borderline for herpes simplex type 2 IgG. I have several questions: 1) Does the report indicate I have genital HSV type 1? 2) What does 'borderline' for HSV type 2 mean? 3) Will I pass HSV to my wife during sex? 4) What are the implications of having HSV type 1 and borderline HSV type 2? 5) Is acyclovir effective for treating the red dots, and what should I do if they persist? 6) Should I tell my wife about this, and what are the potential consequences?

A girl I slept with last Christmas Eve/Christmas morning claims I got her pregnant. She says her due date is October 7th, but her ultrasound and doctor suggest it could be September 30th. I used a reverse calculator and the dates don't match up. She also admitted to sleeping with someone else after New Years who claims he can't be the father because he is sterile. Is it possible this baby could be mine, and should I get involved?
