I keep getting vaginal thrush since I started having sex 7 months ago. I've lost count of how many times I've had to take over-the-counter tablets and creams. I do the right things like peeing and showering straight after sex, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The first time I got it was a week after I had sex with my boyfriend for the first time, and it was itchy with stringy and clumpy discharge. Now, I don't feel itchy or uncomfortable, but the discharge remains a problem. I'm not sure what to do.

I have a lump on my vagina that has been present for about a week and has slowly gotten worse. The lump is about the size of a quarter and is increasingly uncomfortable, but not painful. I don't take any medications and I'm 19 years old. What could this lump be and what should I do about it?

How can I tell if I am experiencing blood clots or normal cysts during my heavy periods, which include bleeding through maximum strength tampons within 2 hours and large clumps of blood? I have been diagnosed with possible endometriosis, but I am concerned about the possibility of blood clots. Additionally, I am experiencing joint pain, swelling, and discomfort similar to water retention during my periods. What tests and treatments should I consider?

I have vaginal itch and redness that started yesterday and comes and goes. My skin is just very red, and I don't have any known allergies. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?

My period is about 4 days late, I had some brown spotting yesterday and today. I've had unprotected sexual intercourse in the past month and have been experiencing stress. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’m having an issue with continuous bleeding. I’ve been on my menstrual cycle for 12 days now and am getting a bit concerned. The bleeding has been stable and consistent. I use Fluoxetine and Bupropion daily but nothing for bleeding. I’m 31 years old. I have the Nexplanon implant, which was inserted in March 2023. My last overall OB appointment was 7 months ago, and all tests were normal. I’ve had this issue maybe once before, and I have only one partner, my husband.
