I was in treatment for a uterus infection with metronidazole and doxycycline. Today, I woke up with itchy and inflamed vaginal symptoms. The itchiness is constant, and my skin looks normal. I have no known allergies and no significant medical history. I am 25 years old, had no discharge, finished the medications, and was not treated for a suspected STD. The infection was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease.

If I've been married for 5 years with the same guy and every year I did a pap smear test that came back negative for HPV, but then on the 7th year it comes back positive for HPV, does that mean my husband cheated?

I am almost 5 weeks pregnant and have experienced intermittent pink spotting when wiping, with no cramping. My OB is ordering an hCG test. Should I consider a progesterone test as well?

I had unprotected sex without using birth control and am concerned about the risk of pregnancy. My last period started on December 22nd, and I am 39 years old. I did an ovulation test that did not show a surge, and my partner used the pull-out method. What are my chances of pregnancy, and what steps can I take to prevent it?

I’ve been tested for all STIs and BV and it all came back normal, but my vagina smells different. I had BV once 3 or 4 years ago and have had no problems since, but have noticed the smell for around a month. I’ve been using Canestan BV treat and prevent formulas. I am 22 and have a Kyleena IUD. What could be causing the smell, and what can I do about it?

I am experiencing discomfort, itching, and burning in my vagina, which has been getting worse since Wednesday. I am 28 years old, on birth control, and have a steady partner with whom I have unprotected sex. I initially thought it was a yeast infection and took Monistat 3-day treatment, but it did not improve. I visited a gynecologist who diagnosed me with BV and prescribed medication, but I am still experiencing pain and burning. I also tested positive for Streptococcus beta hemolytic group B in my urine and have sores on my vagina. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
