I have bumps and sores in my genital area that have appeared over the past few days and have worsened with continued sexual activity. There is itchiness, pain, and a white/clear discharge with some odor. I am not on any medications and have a history of anemia. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do?

My girlfriend recently got bacterial vaginosis (BV) likely from me, as my skin carries the bacteria and my pH is 6.5. I also went down on her and since then, I've had a horrible taste in my mouth, a sticky feeling, dryness, a weird rough feeling in the back of my throat, sometimes a sore throat, and thick white phlegm. What could be causing these symptoms?

My last period was on October 12, but my cycles have been late by 2-3 days for the past few months, and they usually last 25 days but have been 30 days recently. I have tested for pregnancy and the results were negative. My periods are always painful and short, but they have always been on time. Should I do blood work as soon as possible, or is it okay to wait since it's only been 4 days late?

I started my period on March 24th and it ended, but I started bleeding heavily again on Saturday. I am 46 years old, have been fixed for close to 20 years, and am on various medications including thyroid medicines, metformin, and lorazepam. I also have irritable bowel disease syndrome and sciatic nerve issues. What could be causing this heavy bleeding, and what should I do?
