I recently tested negative for a yeast infection, but I have many of the symptoms and it reoccurs often. I have been dealing with this issue on and off for almost a year, treated with metronidazole, and tested positive for Gardnerella vaginalis four times last year, with the last three tests negative. I am 60 years old, taking Lipitor 5mg, an estrogen patch, progesterone, Fluconazole, and clotrimazole. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I recently switched to a 3-month birth control pack where I only get my period once every 3 months. I've been feeling nauseous in the morning for the past 2 days, but have no other pregnancy symptoms. Should I take a pregnancy test, even though I'm on birth control and use condoms?

I think I have a yeast infection. How long have you been concerned about the yeast infection? What symptoms do you have? Are you using any medications? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I had oral sex with a partner and he rubbed his penis against mine on April 17th. We did not have sex. He told me he was tested on April 29th and tested negative for herpes, but his recent test showed signs of herpes. Could his previous results have been wrong, and could he have contracted it from me? What are the symptoms of a first-time herpes infection, and how reliable are blood tests for herpes?

I haven't had my period for 6-8 months now. I am scared to get checked and worried about potential health issues like PCOS. I am also stressed all the time, which I think affects my menstruation. What should I do?

I have PCOS with high DHEAS and testosterone levels, and my insulin levels are normal. I was diagnosed with adrenal PCOS. I was taking Diane 35, but it is causing acidity. What are the alternative treatments or medications for PCOS that can help control symptoms without causing acidity?
