I am 22 years old and considering getting an IUD. I have used two different birth controls before but am not on anything currently. I am only taking a probiotic vitamin and a multi-vitamin. My mother has Polycystic Ovaries, and I tend to get yeast infections/UTIs at least once a month. Should I opt for a hormonal or copper IUD given my history of yeast infections and my mother's polycystic ovary syndrome?

I am noticing a lot of skin irritation and discolouration that recently started to happen. The irritation is stable and constant, and I am using medications for allergies and eczema. I am 24 years old and have a bit of vaginal discharge and itching. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I was told I have an STI, but I forgot what it is called. It's a bacteria from the vagina that can be spread to a partner. I need to know what it is. How long have you been concerned about the STI? Are you sexually active? Are you experiencing any symptoms like burning, pain, itchiness, or discharge? What medications are you currently using, either for the STI or anything else? How old are you? Is there anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?

I have a painful sore on my genital area that I initially thought was an ingrown hair. It has been present for a few days, and I've also noticed issues with my bladder control, especially when I'm exhausted. Could these symptoms be related to an underlying condition or an STI?

Woke up with soreness and a bruise-like feeling on the right side of my pubic mound, and I found pea-sized bumps on both the right and left outer lips of my vaginal area. I have a history of sore throat, low-grade fever, nausea, fatigue, and a total thyroidectomy in 2005. I'm on daily Valtrex for oral herpes. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
