I have tissue on the posterior fourchette that hasn't healed well following some fleshy clusters of bumps near the vaginal entrance on the left side. I've had these bumps for about a month and a half. They are not itchy or a different color. I am 30 years old and supposedly got an HPV vaccine a year or two ago, but I don't remember getting all three shots. What could these bumps be, and should I be concerned about HPV?

I have pain in my vagina after sex, which started a day after. The pain is burning when I urinate and remains uncomfortable throughout the day. I noticed sores that weren't there before, possibly from rough sex. I'm 22 years old and currently taking Methotrexate and D vitamins. The pain is localized in my vagina, and there is slight bleeding but no unusual discharge. Can you help identify the issue and recommend what to do next?

I took a blood test to check my hormone levels. I ordered the test but need a doctor to help me understand it. I am 47 years old, haven't had a period for 7 months, and am experiencing fatigue and joint pains. I suspect I might be in menopause. What does this mean and what should I do next?

I had my period on May 19th, but since then, I've spotted twice for three or four-day increments. I'm not using any contraceptives and the bleeding has been light. I'm 31 years old and have only taken antibiotics recently. My last period was normal and I haven't experienced itching, burning, or discharge. I started spotting again on June 1st-3rd and then again three days ago. I've had unprotected sex and my sister recently passed away. What could this spotting mean?

Can you tell me what infections does the antibiotic amoxicillin cure and what precautions should be taken to avoid side effects such as yeast infections?

Can I treat a yeast infection with Monistat while on antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanate for a sinus infection), or should I wait until I finish the antibiotics before treating the yeast infection?
