I'm 58 years old and very clean. I've been experiencing very itchy vaginal symptoms, especially around my clitoris. I'm married and have only been with one partner for 38 years. I'm embarrassed and scared to ask my doctor. I've been using Vagisil cream, which helps temporarily but the itch comes back. Can you help me?

I started with a sore throat and got antibiotics which caused a yeast infection. Left untreated for a week, I now have a vaginal rash/sores on the inside. I was prescribed fluconazole 150mg. Is there anything else I can put on the vaginal rash/sores for relief?

I'm a 41-year-old woman with PCOS, experiencing vaginal bleeding. I stopped taking Metformin for the last three months but started again on August 31. My last period was on August 24, and I noticed light vaginal bleeding on September 12. What could be causing this bleeding, and should I be concerned?

I’m having very light, almost non-existent periods that started before my child was born almost 4 years ago. My periods are mostly clear, watery discharge with much lighter blood. I’m about to be 39, and all blood tests did not indicate perimenopause. I went almost 4 months without a period at all and not pregnant. The doctor gave me provera for 10 days, and I started 8 days later, which was heavier but not like before. My most recent period didn’t even last 24 hours but was on time. An ultrasound showed a thickened lining after 4 months of no period. I had an endometrial biopsy today and was put on progesterone-only birth control. What are possible outcomes?

Hi doctor, I am bleeding after fingering myself (I'm a virgin), but I feel cramped and the blood comes out dark red in color, and I have my period supposed to be 3 weeks ago. Should I go to see the doctor?

My girlfriend and I had sex 27 days ago without protection other than her birth control. She has taken three negative pregnancy tests and her period is late. Could she be pregnant, and does switching to a generic birth control pill affect her period?
