I recently went to urgent care for what looks like genital warts. They diagnosed me with folliculitis and tested me for herpes and syphilis (both negative), but I feel it might be HPV. How can I determine if it's HPV? Visually, would it be obvious? How long have I had the warts? Have they been about the same, improving, or getting worse? Are the warts itchy or a different color than my skin? What medications am I currently using? Are there any other medical history details the doctor should know?

I see some blood after sex, but no intercourse, and I'm 58 years old. I have been taking Celexa 30mg, Prulosec 40mg, and amlodipine 2.5mg. I had gastric sleeve surgery in February 2017 and a stroke in January 2018. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am 32 years old and have been experiencing infertility since 2015. I have had multiple fibroid removal surgeries in 2009, 2012, and 2014, each time the fibroids were around 9 cm and caused bleeding leading to anemia. My hormones and my husband's tests are okay, but we have not been able to conceive. What are the possible causes of our infertility and what treatments are available?

I’m using Alyssa 28 birth control pills and a copper IUD at the same time. Is it possible to be pregnant even though I didn’t miss any pills? I’m experiencing extreme back pain, light-headedness, and sometimes breast tenderness. My periods have also been coming earlier than usual since getting the IUD. Should I be concerned about pregnancy or any other health issues?

I have white lines on my labia majora and some itching. The itchiness comes and goes, and I have clear discharge. I am 25 years old, sexually active with two partners in the last few months, and recently tested negative for STDs. There is some redness and the discharge looks a little like clumps but not like a yeast infection. What could be causing these symptoms?
