My husband started having COVID-19 symptoms on August 1 and tested positive on August 4. My daughters and I tested negative on August 4. We have not been exposed to him since the evening of August 4. When should I feel like we may be in the clear from getting COVID-19?

I have pain on one side of my ovaries, more pronounced during my period, and I also feel hard lumps near the prepuce of my clitoris. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about these symptoms?

I had 2 positive pregnancy tests a week ago (5 days late for my period) and today I started bleeding. The bleeding is dark brown with clots, some as big as my palm, and has been getting worse. I am not using any contraceptives or medications for the bleeding, only Mydol for pain. I am 20 years old and have had miscarriages before, but this bleeding is different. I had a baby 7 months ago. What could be happening and what should I do?

I woke up this morning with a sharp, stinging pain in the area near my clitoris. The pain comes and goes, and there is no odor, itching, or visible bumps. I'm not currently using any medications other than Ibuprofen, which I took when the pain started about an hour ago. I'm 25 years old and have no recent trauma to the area. What could be causing this pain, and should I be concerned?

I have been experiencing severe itching in my pelvic area, including the upper part of the pelvic area and the juncture between my legs and pubic area. The itching started a month ago, calmed down briefly, but has been bad for the last 7 days. My skin is red, dry, and a bit swollen. I am a 48-year-old woman going through perimenopause and recently started a new anxiety medication. What could be causing this itching, and what treatments can help?

I have been taking Taytula (or generic versions of it) for years. Due to stock issues, I had to switch to Balcoltra last month. Now that the generic version of Taytula is back in stock, I want to switch back. I am supposed to start the period pills for Balcoltra today, but I am running a marathon on Saturday and don't want to have my period. Is it bad to switch from Balcoltra to the generic Taytula if I skip my period pills? Should I continue with Balcoltra and skip the period pills instead?
