A day after having sex, I experienced severe vaginal leakage and now I'm very sore on the outside. The soreness has been getting worse but is now stable, and it's a constant pain. I've used resinol and nystatin for temporary relief. I am 39 years old and have no other significant medical history. Did I have unprotected sex, and is there an odor, vaginal itching, burning, or irritation? I am not on birth control.

I am 33 years old and recently diagnosed with strep throat, for which I was prescribed zithromax. Since taking the medication, I believe I have developed a yeast infection and found a small lesion on my labia majora. I have never been diagnosed with herpes, but the lesion resembles herpes or herpes zoster. It is already healing, but I am concerned about its nature. My spouse has no genital symptoms. In 2009, I had a herpes zoster outbreak on my gluteus maximus. Could this be related? My last HIV test was in 2009. I also had HPV treatment in 1999/2000. Could this be a reactivation of HPV or herpes zoster?

I am separated and have not gotten a divorce yet. This is my boyfriend's baby. I can't go to meet my GP because I mentioned all my story, including domestic abuse, and I am scared to discuss this matter with my own GP. Could you help me by giving me a prescription through the post?

I am a 64-year-old woman recently diagnosed with atrophic vaginitis. My doctor couldn't perform a Pap & Pelvic due to the atrophy and has prescribed Premarin cream. I haven't had intercourse since 1989 but recently have a desire and opportunity for sex. My doctor suggested using a lubricant. What are some good lubricant suggestions, and can I still be satisfying to a man?

I am 22 weeks pregnant and accidentally handled calming aids for my dog that contain ashwaganda. I didn't consume any, but I didn't wash my hands immediately. Can this cause a miscarriage at 22 weeks?

I had a frozen embryo transfer on December 17 and received a positive pregnancy test on December 27 with a beta HCG level of 293. My second beta test on day 13 showed a level of 381, which did not double in the 72 hours between tests. Is my IVF pregnancy in trouble?

I have an ulcer on my vagina that formed two days ago. I am currently on antibiotics (Z-pack) and it appeared a day or so after starting the medication. The ulcer is not painful and is the size of a pea. Could the antibiotics or a bacterial infection cause this single sore, or is it likely due to another cause?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing light vaginal bleeding for 2 days, with no cramping. My cervix was closed, and the doctor found the baby's heartbeat through a vaginal ultrasound. There is no evidence of an ectopic pregnancy, and HcG levels are in the normal range. The bleeding has worsened slightly but is not severe. I have ruled out common causes such as prior pelvic exam, sex, UTI, vaginal infection, and STDs. Could constipation or hemorrhoids be causing the vaginal bleeding?
