My 74-year-old mother has a persistent yeast infection that started under her breasts after a mammogram and has spread to her lower stomach, inner thigh, and top of her vagina. The infection is now a bright reddish-purple color and causes significant burning pain. She was recently diagnosed with diabetes this year. What type of doctor should she see, and could this be a staph infection?

I am experiencing a major herpes outbreak with severe pain, itching, discharge, and a horrible smell. I have been diagnosed with herpes before and recently finished a course of Valtrex. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I manage them until I see a gynecologist?

I was taking Trisprintec for birth control, but the pharmacy switched me to Trinessa without informing me, which caused panic attacks, anxiety, and depression. I stopped taking Trinessa four days ago but still feel depressed. How long will it take to feel better, and what can I do to manage these symptoms without resorting to medications that have previously caused adverse effects?

My boyfriend and I were fooling around, and his penis accidentally slipped into my vagina and broke my hymen. He did not penetrate or ejaculate in me, and pulled it out right away. My period tracker indicated that my ovulation day was yesterday, and this happened the morning of the day before yesterday. Is there a possibility of pregnancy?

My daughter had surgery to aspirate fluid from her ovarian cyst about 7 weeks ago, followed by abdominal surgery to remove the cyst one week later. Since the first surgery, she has had unrelieved back pain. An MRI by an orthopedic was normal. We are unsure what to do next. Should we consider seeing a neurologist?
