I have recently noticed scratches or marks on my vagina. I am 22 years old and not using any medications. I am concerned if this could be a sexually transmitted disease, even though I haven't been sexually active for a year. What could this be and how can it be treated?

Hello, last week my daughter was sick with a fever of 101°F and a cough. I took her to the ER, and they diagnosed her with a viral sickness (after a negative rapid COVID test). Now, I'm starting to feel sick with a temperature of 99.5°F and I'm 21 weeks pregnant. What temperature should I be concerned about?

I just found out I'm pregnant and have a wedding in 5 weeks. I'd like to lose 10 pounds safely. Is it possible and is it safe during pregnancy?

My period is 5 days late, and it had been inconsistent for a while. I stopped taking a certain medicine, and it was back on track for two months. This month, I was scheduled to start my period on the 2nd but still haven’t had it. I’ve taken tests before and it was never a pregnancy, so I didn’t want to go buy a test yet. When should I take a pregnancy test, and what other tests should I consider?

I think I may have a peptic ulcer. I have bad pain in my lower back and top of my abdomen, which tends to go away when I eat. I'm 23 years old and have tried ibuprofen for the pain, but no other medications. Should I go to a health clinic or the emergency room?

I have had my period since the end of February and it has not stopped. The longest I went without using tampons or pads was about 8 days. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 31 years old. My last gynecological exam was about 2 months ago, and the results were fine. However, I am still bleeding heavily and have occasional lower stomach pain. I am scared that this continuous bleeding could be life-threatening or affect my ability to have children. What should I do?
