I have a yeast infection causing swelling in my vagina. It's been going on for a couple of days and I usually get them before my cycle. The opening of my vagina is very irritated, tender, and swollen. I've had white slightly yellow discharge and no unusual products used recently. I've tried Monistat before, but it doesn't help. Is there anything else I could try or get prescribed?

I have a large uterine fibroid (12.3cm) and am scheduled for surgery. I have breast symptoms such as lumpiness and asymmetry in the areolar area of my right breast, which persist after my menstrual cycle. My Pap test was negative. Given my family history of uterine cancer (my maternal grandmother) and the absence of breast cancer in my family, I am concerned about my risk of uterine cancer and the relationship between my fibroid and breast symptoms. What should my concerns be, and what screenings or diagnostics should I undergo?

I noticed a blister/pimple in my vagina, which is not causing pain but I can feel it. I am 27 years old and have not had any recent pap tests or pelvic exams. I had herpes a few years ago. What could this pimple be and what should I do about it?

I took a pregnancy test and the first one came back negative, then I took one right after and it came up positive. I'm on an IUD and haven't had a period for 4 years. I was feeling nauseous and took the test an hour ago. What kind of pregnancy test should I use, and should I be concerned about the positive result?
