I was diagnosed with atrophic vaginitis by my OB/GYN. My doctor suggested a specific cream, but it's too expensive and not covered by insurance. The pharmacist recommended black cohosh or evening primrose, but I'm unsure if they will help. I'm 78 years old, a widow, and only take Zoloft. I've been dealing with monthly yeast and bladder problems for the past 6 months. What can I do for treatment that is affordable and effective?

My vagina hurts terribly during sex. The pain is stabbing and has been getting worse. I am 20 years old, pregnant at 28 weeks, and taking Diclegis for anti-nausea. There is no vaginal itching, burning, or discharge, and my periods are regular. I do experience occasional lower back pain and slight vaginal dryness. What could be causing this pain and how can it be managed?

I have been dealing with recurring yeast infections for a year now. The symptoms include white or yellow-green discharge, vulva swelling, itching, and burning after sex. I am 23 years old, have tried fluconazole and boric acid, but the infection returns once I stop taking the medication. I have had the same sexual partner and have tested negative for STDs. What treatments can help manage and prevent these recurring yeast infections?

Doctor says I have normal glandular cells on my vagina and sometimes it reacts badly and pokes when I get a yeast infection, then goes away. Some say friction from sex, but it didn't bother me until a month after and I got results of a yeast infection. I'm confused. Could the yeast infection cause this? And why?

I missed my period, which was supposed to be on October 27th. My breasts hurt, I'm bloated, and constipated, and when I try to push, I start to spot. What could be the cause of this?
