I would like to understand my lab results, specifically a vaginal culture and hormone levels, which were done to check for infection and to assess my fertility. The vaginal culture showed E. coli, and my hormone levels were slightly outside the reference range for the follicular phase. Can you explain what these results mean and how they might affect my ability to get pregnant?

My wife is bleeding during early pregnancy. She started bleeding yesterday at 6 weeks. She is not on any medication and exercises frequently. The bleeding is mild spotting, not filling any pads, and there is no pain. She had her last period on September 24th and has not had an ultrasound yet. What could be causing the bleeding and what should we do?

Why is my yeast infection not going away? It has been about 3 weeks and it keeps recurring after using the prescribed inserts for 5 days. I am 30 years old and have a thick, creamish discharge with occasional itching, but no smell. I have been prescribed medication for yeast infections in the past, but they haven't helped.

I started taking Enskyce birth control 2 weeks ago and have been bleeding continuously since then. I stopped taking the pills 9 days ago, but the bleeding hasn't stopped. How can I stop the period, and when can I expect it to return to normal?

I am not getting my periods and it's due 2 months. My last period began on 13 Nov 2021. I am not using contraceptives or any other medications except thyroid medication due to a thyroid problem. I had a miscarriage last year in April 2021, which led to irregular periods. I took 21-day tablets from June to September 2021 as per the doctor's prescription and stopped the medication in October. Currently, I am only taking thyroid medication. What could be causing this and what tests or treatments can I consider?

I have what look like warts on my upper inner thighs, but the doctor at school said they are not genital warts. I've had them for about 2 months and they have stayed the same, not itchy, and slightly more red than my skin. I'm currently using Zoloft, Adderall, and Metoprolol, and I'm 21 years old. What could these growths be, and what should I do about them?
