I am a 62-year-old female. My daily medications include a low-dose thyroid tablet, a low-dose blood pressure tablet, and a tablet for reflux. I am a little overweight but not obese and reasonably active, including a 4km brisk bike ride 6 mornings a week. I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 50 and am not on any HRT. I live in QLD. My concern is that I struggle with the heat in recent years and seem to perspire a lot, which I never used to do. It’s not all the time, usually when I exert myself, but I do feel the heat more than I used to. Is this hormonal or perhaps because I am overweight, and if so, is there anything I can take to assist with this?

My friend has bumps or blistery-like bumps around the vagina area that cause burning when she wipes or urinates. She used a body spray or perfume in that area. Could it be caused by that, and if so, what could she use to ease the pain? She has already tried a diaper rash ointment.

If it was cancer, could the result still come back as HPV ASCUS?

If I missed the first week of my birth control pills (BCPs) and also take Spirolactone 100 mg a month, how should I start the new refill and will it mess up my cycle?

I recently lost my virginity. We used protection the first time but not the second. I am on birth control pills. After having sex, I noticed I was bleeding and experienced major cramps. The bleeding stopped the day after, but I'm still having cramps three days later. I'm not sure if my cycle started or not. What is going on with me?
