If my wife is diagnosed with Herpes, how worried should we be about our 2-year-old daughter? Would the virus have shown symptoms by now if passed during childbirth, and how dangerous is it for a 2+ year old if she has a latent infection?

I bled 4 days after taking Plan B. It felt and looked like a period but was heavier flow. Does this mean I’m not pregnant? I used a condom but it slipped off inside of me. However, only pre-cum got inside me. My last period was July 23 or 24. The sex happened on August 3. My previous period happened on July 23 or 24 and this month, I expected to have my period August 20-25. I feel some lower stomach discomfort/pain, nausea, and an increase in vaginal discharge. Do you think this could be me going through ovulation? When should I expect my next period? I feel some itching but not really burning. I also feel a bit scared because I took the plan B on day 11 or 12 of my cycle, which is close to ovulation day. Despite this, just the heavy bleeding that happened 4 days after I took the pill means that I definitely am not pregnant, correct?

I have had green and bloody discharge since last October, with pus present in the discharge but no infection detected in several tests. I've been on various antibiotics, including Metronidazole, for suspected Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, but they haven't stopped the discharge. My cervix looked normal during a pelvic exam, except for a red patch and a long, thin, skin-colored bumpy thing at the bottom where it meets the vagina wall. What could be causing this discharge, and what further steps should be taken?

My daughter, who is 32 years old, has been experiencing a constant pulling sensation in her head for 18 months, which is accompanied by a pulsating feeling. This condition started under significant stress while opening her speech clinic and writing literacy programs. The only relief she gets is when she is underwater or in an airplane. She was briefly taking Larazopan, which provided some relief, but she is now 9 weeks pregnant and had to discontinue it. She has undergone various tests, including MRI and consultations with specialists, and a neurologist suggested it might be dystonia. She finds it difficult to concentrate and needs to hold her head to one side. What can be done to manage this condition during her pregnancy?

I am a 32-year-old divorced woman who has been struggling with yeast infections after sex since August two years ago. The symptoms include urethral irritation, burning, and itching, which do not resolve with over-the-counter medications and require a doctor's visit. I have been checked for STIs and have no other medical issues. My periods have also become irregular since this started. What could be causing this and what can I do to manage or resolve it?
