I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

My uterus is anteverted and bulky, measuring 11.18.58.1 cm, with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes. The endometrial thickness is 3 mm, and my right ovary is 2.11.3 cm while the left is 21.3 cm with normal echoes. Should I consider surgery for this, or is it something that can be treated without surgery?

It's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. A bulky uterus, particularly with nonhomogeneous myometrial echoes and thickened endometrium, could indicate conditions like fibroids, adenomyosis, or other issues, which may require surgery, medication, or other treatments

I'm noticing this thin white layer around my vagina that sometimes curdles up into a creamy texture. It's been itchy at certain times during the day, specifically on one of the labia minora where it looks like there's some extra skin development with tiny eruptions, and there's white stuff inside. There's no burning sensation, bad smell, or discharge though. It's been like this for 3 days with no changes. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Your symptoms, including a thin white layer around the vagina, curdling into a creamy texture, itching on the labia minora, and tiny eruptions with white contents, suggest a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis), but the absence of a foul odor and discharge makes it less clear-cut; consult a gynecologist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment, as other conditions like vulvar dermatitis could also be possible causes.
