I had sex over the weekend and a couple days later, I experienced itching in my vaginal area. I thought it might be a yeast infection, but I started my period, making it hard to tell if I have the typical discharge. I'm worried it could be genital herpes. How can I tell the difference, and what should I do about the itching and discomfort?

I am late for my period by one week and have taken four negative pregnancy tests. I am 24 years old, have no symptoms, and am not using any medications.

I recently finished my period 2 weeks ago, but I am bleeding now and it’s been for about a day. I thought I was spotting but it feels like my period. I’m not sure what’s going on. I had unprotected sex before my most recent period and took the morning-after pill. I’ve never had a pap test and have slight cramping and headaches. What could be causing this bleeding and when should I seek further help?
