Worried that a bug or spider fell into my ear last night while I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I want to know if this could hurt the baby and what symptoms to look for if there is something in my ear.

I have been experiencing severe itching and swelling in my vaginal area for about two weeks, along with a yellow-ish, thick discharge and a sensitive, itchy bump near the clitoris. I have not experienced this before, and my last pap test was over a year ago with no irregular results. What could be causing these symptoms and what treatments should I consider?

I tested positive in my pregnancy test, but I'm not sure if it's true. I just wanted to know if it's possible to get a positive result before the day of my period? My last period was March 15-19, I am not using any medications, I am 26, and I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2019. I had unprotected sexual intercourse and took a pregnancy test last Friday and today.

I have missed my period for about three months with negative pregnancy test results. My periods were regular but started to be irregular three years ago. I have done several tests, including a laparoscopy for PCOS, and was placed on metformin for three months with no effect. I am currently experiencing hot flashes on my neck, which worsen after sex, leading to neck pain and headaches, making me unwilling to have sex with my husband. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should I take?

I had sex with my boyfriend a week ago and noticed some small cuts at the entrance of the vagina, which developed into an ulcer and was extremely painful. I've been prescribed lidocaine gel, an antibiotic, and an antiviral. Since using the lidocaine gel, I've developed blisters. Could the blisters be a reaction to the lidocaine gel, or can you develop ulcers first and blisters later with herpes?
