I had anal intercourse and took an emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hours. I am concerned about the possibility of pregnancy if semen from the anus gets into the vagina. What are the chances of getting pregnant, and is the emergency contraceptive pill effective in this situation?

I’ve developed a painful burning sensation on the right side of my vaginal lip over the last 24 hours, which feels like a cut and worsens with walking or pressure. Ice packs and Advil help. What could it be and what self-care remedies can I try?

I have had an itchy vagina with small lateral tears for months. I have seen doctors, tested for bacteria, STDs, STIs, fungus, etc., and everything is clear. They diagnosed it as thrush and treated it with Canesten, but the itchiness persists with tears. I also have other skin issues like a red flaky rash around my nose, nails lifting, and dandruff. What could be causing these issues and how can they be treated?

I have been experiencing intermittent pain in my left breast for about a year. The pain is dull and comes and goes. I also feel some lumps in that breast, which are different from my other breast. I had an ultrasound a year ago that showed no abnormalities, but the pain has returned. What could be causing this pain, and what exams do you recommend for further investigation?

How would I know if chlamydia affected my fertility even after it’s treated? I got treated for it as soon as I found out. I am 22 years old, had the same monogamous partner for 3 years, and was tested negative for chlamydia before but positive later. I am now trying to have a second baby and am concerned about potential infertility due to the chlamydia infection.
