I've been experiencing severe itching, mostly in the labial area, and a bit of burning when peeing, with no odor or odd discharge. I thought it might be a yeast infection, so I took Monistat and new doses of yeast infection pills, but there was no relief. I went to the doctor last week, and the tests were negative for trich, yeast, and bacterial vaginosis. I'm not sure what's causing this. Could I still have a yeast infection since I didn't do a culture test, but the microscopic test said no yeast cells? If yeast is not found in a microscope, does that mean it won't be found in a culture? I haven't used anything abnormal to cause a reaction, which is weird. Could overuse of antifungals cause irritation for me? I've also been taking more probiotics to keep it healthy. I read about possible cytolytic vaginosis, which can cause itching and burning. Is it possible to have a different strain of yeast that is resistant to antifungals or would it show on a wet mount test if I were to have any yeast infection such as Candida glabrata?

I currently have strep and my antibiotics aren't working. I also believe I have an infected vaginal cyst. Can the cyst be the reason for the antibiotics not working for my strep? What additional treatments can I try for both conditions?

I had nipple discharge for about 6 months, especially before my monthly period. It was from one breast, clear and watery, and sometimes occurred spontaneously. The discharge has now stopped on its own. Is this normal, and when should I be concerned about nipple discharge?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and my husband just killed a mouse in the wall, but we have to leave it there. Is it okay to sleep in the room? The wall is now sealed off, and I have the window opened a bit.

Could I be pregnant even though my tubes are untied? I'm experiencing a lot of swelling in my stomach, irregular periods, nausea, fatigue, and weight gain. I've taken pregnancy tests that came out negative, but my symptoms persist. What could be causing these issues, and what can I do to address them?
