I'm a 19-year-old girl. 48 hours ago, my boyfriend's penis was rubbed against my vagina. He was wearing boxers at times and sometimes it was his bare penis, but I was wearing panties at all times. My boyfriend also fingered me, and he touched his penis with the fluids on it before that, but I'm not sure if it was precum or semen. My last period was on the 21st or 22nd of June, and I wasn't ovulating or in my fertile stage. I have PCOS, and my periods are due in 1-2 days. Should I take an emergency contraceptive pill (ipill)? I have heard it is harmful to take an ipill, but I don't want to get pregnant. Please advise urgently.

I am 59 years old and have a metallic vaginal odor with some watery spotting. I had a DNC in April 2021 due to microscopic blood in my urine, a feeling of heaviness, and fibroid cysts. The doctor removed polyp tissue and two fibroid cysts, and there was no cancer detected. Now, I have a metallic odor with watery discharge. What could be the cause of this odor, and should I be concerned?

I am experiencing slight discomfort on the lower left side of my abdomen along with increased pressure to urinate. I am 54 years old and have had a Mirena IUD for the last five years. I am concerned it might be an ovarian cyst. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

What were my fertile days, and could I have been in my fertile window if I had sex on the 20th and 21st of the month, given that my first day of last period was between 8th and 11th of July and I have a 28-day cycle?

I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years. What are the chances that I have blocked tubes? My OBGYN recommended seeing an endocrinologist due to low DHEA-S and low testosterone levels in my blood work. Could these hormones be the issue, or should I be looking at potential tube problems? I have never had an STD and am generally healthy, but I am nervous about the upcoming dye test and infertility evaluation.

I am a 79-year-old female who had a total hysterectomy at 51. I was scheduled for a total knee replacement but had to postpone it due to bacteria found in my urine during preadmission testing. I have had recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) for over two years, despite taking various antibiotics. Recently, I tested high on a Vagisil screening kit for vaginal infections, indicating a high pH level, but my gynecologist dismissed the results. I am currently on Nitrofurantoin Mono for a UTI, but my urine still has an odor and I suspect a vaginal infection. I need an antibiotic for a vaginal infection to clear up my urine and proceed with my knee surgery. What can I do and can you suggest an antibiotic for a vaginal infection?
