I’m having severe itching and burning in my labia, with no discharge but spotting. The symptoms started 2 days ago and are constant. My skin is red and swollen. I’m on antibiotics for a UTI and had sexual intercourse about a week ago. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I noticed a whiteish, pea-sized lump on the inside of the lip of my vagina that moved off, leaving a hole. The area is slightly painful, especially when my underwear rubs it. I'm 21, on an annovera ring for birth control, and recently ended my period. Is this concerning, or could it be an infected hair follicle or irritation?

I have yellow discharge that is sometimes dry, and I’ve noticed a slight fishy smell. I had some rashes about two months ago, but they’re gone now. My last period was around October 12, and it’s not always regular. I’m sexually active and allergic to penicillin and xythromax. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm pretty sure I have BV. I'm going to a gyno next week. It's embarrassing. I'll see what they can prescribe me. I haven't had a pap smear in 15 years. I can't believe I'm 'one of those women' but here I am. I have really bad smells from my private parts. The main thing is it smells either just BAD... or else like AMONIA.... it's bad either way and happens 24/7. Even after 1-2 hours after I shower I smell myself smelling bad. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

I'm on a combination birth control pill and in my second month. The brand for my second month is different from the first month. The current brand suggests using non-hormonal birth control for the first seven days on the pill. I forgot about this and took Plan B after unprotected sex on the seventh day. Am I pregnant? Additionally, I have questions about the consistency of taking the pill and the definition of 'missed' or 'late' pill.

I have painful periods, pain during sex, and pain on my left abdomen. I am 23 years old with a history of digestive problems, yeast infections, and painful bowel movements during periods. I have recently experienced sharp pain during sex, frequent urination, and a discharge that looked like blood but wasn't during my period. I am concerned about potential gynecological issues and their impact on my fertility. Should I see a gynecologist, and what can they typically do to address these issues?
