I was diagnosed with BV after experiencing breakthrough bleeding due to my birth control. I had been wearing a tampon for three weeks straight, and shortly after my period ended, I noticed symptoms of BV. I was prescribed Flagyl, which helped somewhat, but I still feel slight discomfort. I used RepHresh gel inserts, which provide relief for 72 hours but symptoms return afterward. What home remedies or treatments can help manage or cure BV?

I'm having moderate to severe cramps in my pelvic region, particularly on the right side, two days after my period ended. I'm trying to conceive and have irregular periods. I also have lower back pain on the right side. What could be causing this pain and should I be concerned?

I have what looks like skin tags above my anus. It started out as one and has turned into five, and they seem to be spreading. They are brown, about the size of the end of a pen, some are flat and others are round. They are not painful or itchy, and I don't have any irritation. They seem to be spreading to the lips of my vagina, starting as brown spots before forming into what looks like skin tags. Should I be concerned, and what could these possibly be?

I am a 26-year-old gay male who had chickenpox as a child and recently experienced it again. I had unprotected sex in the past and am concerned if this could mean I have HIV. I got tested last month and all tests were negative, but I had protected sex this month. Can people get chickenpox twice, and is there a difference between HIV-related chickenpox and normal chickenpox?

I am 44 years old and have noticed an apparent area on the backside of my cervix that has made intercourse uncomfortable for my husband. My Gyno felt something rough but suggested it might be due to a sensitive penis. I am looking for non-invasive alternatives to soften or remove this area. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to address it?
