I am currently on my period, which has lasted for 15 days. I have a family history of endometriosis but do not have it myself. I took Plan B a week before my period started. Are there any causes for my period to be so long, and could my diet contribute to my hormone levels?

I have been diagnosed with chronic cervicitis and am experiencing light spotting after my period, along with discharge and blood. My OB GYN suggested immediate cauterization, which I am hesitant about due to concerns about its impact on fertility and pregnancy. I am also worried about the possibility of cancer. What treatment options are available for chronic cervicitis, and can antibiotics or homeopathic remedies cure it? Is cauterization still practiced in the west, and what are its potential side effects?

I have been experiencing spotting before and after my period, along with pelvic pain and a high ESR level. My OB GYN diagnosed me with chronic cervicitis and recommended cauterization, but I am concerned about the side effects on fertility. I also have a tiny kidney stone and a small ovarian cyst. What is the best course of action for treating these conditions, and can they be treated without affecting my ability to conceive?

My husband's semen analysis shows a concentration of 17 x 10^6/ml, total motile count of 22 x 10^6, normal morphology of 13%, and leukocytes of 2 x 10^6/ml. He is a 53-year-old male in good health, and we have been trying to conceive for several months without success. My gynecologist believes his high WBC may affect sperm quality and has prescribed 500mg of Cipro for 10 days. We are concerned about the timing of trying to conceive, the risk of abnormal sperm fertilizing my egg, and whether his current semen analysis levels are sufficient for conception. What should we do given our circumstances and the short window we have to conceive naturally?
