My mom has been experiencing itchiness in her vaginal area for about 2 weeks, with some skin breaks near the vulva. She has a history of breast cancer in remission and is on tamoxifen.

I’m having swelling at the vaginal opening. I have a photo of it and had a UA done which showed clue cells in my urine, leading to a diagnosis of BV. I was prescribed metrogel-vaginal for 5 days, once daily. My PCP stated that BV can cause swelling, but after taking 3 doses, the swelling hasn’t gone down. Is this swelling normal, caused by BV, or something else?

I am experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially when walking, and frequent, painful urination. There is also an odor. How old are you? How long has this been a concern? Are you using any medications? Is there anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?

I have clumpy, creamy white vaginal discharge that comes and goes. My last period started on July 25 and comes regularly. I had Chlamydia and took antibiotics two weeks ago. I had unprotected sex with my partner five days after finishing the antibiotics. What could be causing the discharge and what should I do?

Is having a suspected intrauterine gestational sac and yolk sac with an irregular elongated shape alarming? Should I prepare to have a miscarriage soon?

I had a yeast infection a couple of weeks ago and treated it with clotrimazole, which initially cleared the infection but not the irritation. The irritation has persisted and the yeast infection has returned. Should I try boric acid, and if the problem continues, what other treatments are available?
