I recently had a bacterial vaginosis (BV) treated with antibiotics, which led to a yeast infection. After treating the yeast infection with a 3-day antifungal cream, the symptoms have returned. What could be causing this recurrence and what steps can I take to prevent it?

My vagina itches really bad and woke me up from sleep. I think it’s a yeast infection. When did the itchiness start? Has it been constant or does it come and go? Does your skin look any different? Do you have any known allergies? Anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I have been experiencing itchiness in the genital area for the past 2 weeks, but there is no burning sensation when I pee. I am a 52-year-old female, and I haven't had a period in 4 months. I have no known allergies and have been taking antibiotics for a month. There are no bumps, sores, or changes in discharge, and I have not been diagnosed with an STD. I have tried an over-the-counter itch cream, but it has not helped.

I have recently undergone an embryo implantation, which is now 5 weeks old. I have had brown spotting for a few days, but today I experienced sudden heavy red bleeding. Is this normal, and what should I do about the medications I'm taking, including Utragestan, Folic acid, Provames (estrogen), and Progesterone?

I recently moved to Oklahoma from Indiana and have been experiencing painful intercourse for the past 4 months, which started with a new partner. The pain is more achey and stabbing, occurring during intercourse and when the clitoris is touched. I am on birth control and have irregular periods, which run in my family. I was tested for endometriosis at my last OBGYN visit, but never received a call with results. I have been STD and STI tested, with negative results. I also have random spotting between periods and occasional dryness during sex. Additionally, I have a bump in the back of my vagina that I've had since I was 13, with no changes in size or itching. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?

Is one side of my labia being bigger concerning for cancer, and should I be worried about cancer based on my symptoms including spotting and swelling?
