I have what appears to be a yeast infection in my vagina and a rash on my hands. Do you think they are related? I am 25 years old with a non-hormonal IUD and have not yet started any medication. When did the yeast infection start? Is it constant or does it come and go? Is the rash itchy or swollen? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the yeast infection or anything else?

I got a positive pregnancy test yesterday evening, but a negative test this morning. I am 30 years old, have PCOS, and my last period began on 5/10. I last had sex on 5/21. Are the test results conflicting due to a false positive or negative, and is 12 days after sex too early to test?

My cycle is late. I am 29 years old and it has been 2 days. I am not using any medications and my periods are usually regular. I am sexually active but used protection. I had breast tenderness last week but it stopped. My urination is regular. I have been stressed about summer school and worked out harder two weeks ago. My last cycle was June 15th-June 21st. Should I be concerned if it doesn't come on July 15th? Is there a chance of pregnancy?

My vulva is itching, burning, and swollen. The itchiness started 4-5 days ago and comes and goes. The skin is slightly more red and swollen, and I have a brown discharge. I am 17 years old and have no new soaps or detergents that have come in contact with the area. What could be causing these symptoms and how can they be treated?
