I am 2 weeks pregnant and started experiencing light bleeding yesterday, followed by passing clots and dark blood this morning, returning to light bleeding now. I have a history of heavy menstrual cycles, large clots, bladder and kidney infections, Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I also have a history of bleeding during my previous pregnancy. What are the chances that I have had a miscarriage, and should I take my home pregnancy test results as a positive sign despite the bleeding?

I have a history of cold sores and recently experienced mild itching, burning, lower abdomen and back pain, and vaginal discharge that looked like cottage cheese. I used Monistat vaginal suppositories, which helped with the symptoms. I am concerned about the possibility of herpes transmission from a recent sexual encounter. What are the typical symptoms of genital herpes, and could my current symptoms be related to something else?

I have somewhat thick discharge with a definitely different smell than usual. Also have a pimple on the inside of my vagina. Do you have any fever? Are you on any contraceptives? Do you have any burning or itching while passing urine? Are you sexually active?

I have swelling on one side of my vagina, in the labia, which has been off and on for about 2 months. It feels tender and painful, especially when I wipe after urinating. I am 50 years old, had a hysterectomy at 38, and had cervical cancer. What could be causing this swelling and what should I do about it?

I am 28 years old and have been experiencing chronic pelvic pain, which has worsened over the last 6 months, particularly in the last 3 months. The pain is sharp, burning, and stabbing, and is located on both sides of my pelvis. I had a partial hysterectomy last year due to endometriosis, but the pain is different from what I experienced with endometriosis. I have tried Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Gabapentin, and Cymbalta for pain relief, but none have been effective. I have had an MRI with contrast, which ruled out additional endometriosis, and I am currently waiting for further testing. What can be done to manage this pain in the meantime?

How likely are you to contract HSV-1 on your genitals if you received oral sex from someone who has a cold sore or may have it but did not know? Can symptoms start possibly days or weeks before herpes form? If one were to discover that the genital herpes contracted was HSV1, would that mean you do not have HSV1 or because you contracted HSV1 on the genitals, it is now HSV2?

I recently visited the OB/GYN for pain during sex and trouble conceiving. My Pap smear was negative, but I'm still experiencing severe burning and blunt pain during intercourse. I also have herpes, take Zoloft, lituda, vyvanse, and busiprone, and have issues with holding my urination. I've had a miscarriage and have been dealing with a foul smell and thick white discharge for almost two years. My periods are very heavy, and I experience severe cramps. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do about them?
