I self-diagnosed a yeast infection on Sunday night and used Monistat 1. I experienced severe burning and itching for two days, and although the burning has stopped, I am still itching. I have had a yeast infection before but never treated it with over-the-counter medications. I started feeling irritated on Friday, began an antibiotic (Cipro) for a UTI on Saturday, and by Sunday night, the UTI seemed to be subsiding but I started having vaginal itching and white clumpy discharge. What should I do to alleviate the itching, and should I consider getting a prescription for Fluconazole since it has been several days and the itching persists?

I took a digital pregnancy test 2 days ago that showed a positive result, but today, after my period was due, another test showed a negative result. My last period was on October 7th, and I've been feeling bloated. I had my IUD removed at the end of August. Could stress have caused a false positive, and what should I do next?

I am 28 years old and have a copper IUD (Mirena) inserted since December 2018. My last period was from September 9-13, and I am currently 9 days late. I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and have had flu-like symptoms for the past 4 days. What could be causing my delayed period, and should I be concerned?

In early pregnancy, is it normal to have pain when trying to stand up, and what symptoms might indicate a need to go to the hospital instead of waiting for a regular doctor's appointment?

I was diagnosed with atypical hyperplasia of the uterus and am planning to have a total hysterectomy in April. I recently experienced bright red vaginal bleeding. Is the bleeding a sign that the condition is progressing from pre-cancer to cancer, and what should I do?
