My husband claims he did not contract HSV from someone else during our marriage and that it was contracted over 30 years ago. How could we have had unprotected sex together for all those years and I only recently contracted HSV from him? Isn't that unlikely?

I believe I might have a sexually transmitted disease (STD). I've been experiencing symptoms such as burning, pain, itchiness, and discharge for the past 4 days. I am sexually active and recently started seeing a new partner who assured me he was recently tested and clean. I used Monistat 1 for a suspected yeast infection but missed my Depo Provera injection. What could be the cause of these symptoms and what tests should I undergo?

My periods have become irregular, varying from extremely heavy to very light, and I have missed periods. I also have high blood pressure for the first time in my life, hypothyroidism, and a spot detected on my left ovary. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I undergo to determine the underlying cause?

My period usually lasts 3 to 4 days, but this time it has lasted more than a week, and some of the blood is very red and not dark as it usually is. I use birth control pills and have been for many years, but this has never happened before. I started taking them for acne. Recently, my medical tests showed low iron and vitamin D levels.

I have been experiencing abnormal bleeding for over a week, which started light and then got heavier, with cramps mainly in my ovaries. I normally have regular periods that last no longer than 4 days. I am 26 years old, sexually active, and not using any contraceptives. My last pap test was two years ago when I was pregnant, and it came back abnormal, but they said that's common in pregnant women. I have no other significant medical history. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should I do?
