Peter W. asked
I recently got prescribed Metrogel for BV and have several questions: Can I use Metrogel during my period? What is Gardnerella vaginalis and should I start treatment? Will the treatment clear BV faster than it going away on its own? Can BV cause a yeast infection or will Metrogel? How can I prevent BV and yeast infections? How long does BV usually take to clear up? Should I refrain from intimacy during treatment? Can BV be transferred to my partner? How effective is Metrogel and can BV come back? Are there specific reasons females get BV? Is there a way to prevent a yeast infection from Metrogel? Can BV turn into other infections if left untreated? Can BV last without symptoms, and if so, how long? If BV is untreated and intimate with a partner, can it get worse or spread?

Yes, you can use Metrogel during your period, but use pads instead of tampons. Gardnerella vaginalis...

I am experiencing a lot of pain in my pubic area, which started about an hour ago and is constant. The pain is achey, sometimes sharp, and seems to originate in my pelvic area, occasionally shooting both up and down. I have had ovarian cysts before, but this pain seems lower and more central. I am currently on birth control and am 30 years old. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

My vagina has been vibrating like I have been sitting on a cellphone getting text messages for about 3 weeks, and it gets worse at night. I am 29 years old and have been experiencing this for 3 weeks. I had a very long and heavy period prior to this, which lasted for about 2 weeks. The vibrating sensation continued through that entire time and has not stopped since the period ended. I am not experiencing any pain, burn, itch, numbness, or changes in skin color. Occasionally, I notice quick twitches in other parts of my body, but they are not frequent. I am taking Pamprin multi-symptom at a normal dose, but no other medications.

My vagina itches and is irritated, with no discharge or odd smell. I've been using new soaps and have experienced a breakout on my left butt cheek. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the itching?

I haven't gotten my period, but I'm not pregnant. My last period began on January 17. I had a pap test 3 years ago with no issues. I'm 22 years old, and I took a pregnancy test last month. I had unprotected sex towards the end of February. I previously had an ovarian cyst when I was 15, and I've been feeling a sharp pain on my lower abdomen near my ovaries. What could be causing my late period and what should I do?

I have a swollen and hard area on one side of my vagina that has been present for about 3 days. It is a bit tender when touched and may be related to my boyfriend's bacterial infection. My vagina is not painful, but it might be getting itchy. I also just got my period today. What could this be, and what should I do?
