I have a strong, fishy odor coming from my vaginal area that has persisted since middle school. The odor varies in intensity and is accompanied by white vaginal discharge. I also experience occasional intense itching and burning sensations. I have never had sex and am not using any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’ve noticed an increase in cervical mucus (CM) and it smells normal. Could this be due to hormonal imbalances?

My ex-girlfriend had an STD test before I met her. She went to an urgent care center complaining of vaginal pain. She had a different sex partner at that time. She had a lesion on her vaginal labia swabbed for herpes culture. The test was a rapid HSV culture. I am looking at the hospital lab results and it doesn’t say positive or negative. It does say the culture is ISOLATED. What does that mean? I think it means she tested positive but I’m not sure. Any clarity would be appreciated.

I am 39 to 40 days late on my cycle, have done at-home pregnancy tests that were negative, but have had prior pregnancy symptoms that didn't show positive until 13 weeks. I have experienced fatigue, mood swings, nausea, cravings, increased hunger, and slight brown spotting. Should I continue to wait and see, or is there a more accurate test I should take?

I’ve been bleeding for 20 days now and 10 weeks pregnant. The baby is still fine based on the ultrasound. Is it normal to bleed like that, and what should I do about the bleeding?
